Someone in your inner circle is pregnant! Congratulations... to her!
Have you noticed your pregnant wife casting you daggers when you say things like, "My mom said..."?
Has your preggo BFF flat-out refused the celebratory (surprise) lunch you planned so meticulously for her?
Is your daughter-in-law suddenly ignoring you like the plague after you shared your absolutely perfect pregnancy with her husband?
There's a reason for all of this, and it's not the pregnancy hormones. Can we be honest? The new mom may have a good reason to avoid you right now. She may not feel comfortable telling you that your advice, judgements and stereotypes about what a new mom "should" be, do and feel are not wanted. But don't feel bad! Most advice about how to support a first-time pregnant woman is outdated, patriarchal, and just flat out wrong.
That's why Blogger and Author Amy Perry wrote her new book, What To Expect When She's Expecting: An Honest Guide To Supporting The New Mom In Your Life. It's a straight to the point discussion from a mom who's already "been there" and had to navigate first-time pregnancy without the support she needed (and with plenty she just plain didn't want!).
In each chapter, you'll learn:

In each chapter, you'll learn:
- How the new mom in your life is most likely feeling and what she'll need the most from her inner circle at each stage of the pregnancy.
- Specific ways you can offer support that don't sound like you're dismissing or being judgemental of her experience
- What not to say when you hear you're about to become a grandma!
- How to be a supportive friend to your newly preggo BFF
- How to make sure you're always on your wife's side
- You'll also learn when and where it's appropriate to touch a pregnant woman's belly... (the answer is totally not what you think!)

From the Back Cover
How exciting! Somebody in your inner circle is having a baby.
Pregnancy hormones? That's usually only half the story.
Written for partners, excited family and friends of women going through pregnancy for the first time, this book gives you a backstage pass into the inner workings of a new mom. With examples and quizzes, this is your cheat sheet to understanding what she might be going through, things you need to be aware of, and importantly, how you can support the new mom in your life along this journey to motherhood, from pregnancy up to the first year after giving birth.
You want to help where you can, share information, go out to lunch, throw her a party, and be there to paint the nursery. So what's wrong?
Why is the mom-to-be avoiding you like the plague?
Why can't your daughter just relax? She's only pregnant.
What do you do when your wife tells you she no longer feels attractive after having a baby? Why doesn't your daughter-in-law trust you with taking care of her newborn?
