BELLY LAUGHS: The Naked Truth
About Pregnancy and Childbirth by
Jenny McCarthy
Some Perspective & Stress Relief!
Brimming with the authors signature frankness and humor, a no-holds-
barred account of what you can really expect when youre expecting. Oh,
the joys of pregnancy! Theres the gasiness, constipation, queasiness, and
exhaustion; the forgetfulness, crankiness, and the constant worry. Of
course, no woman is spared these discomforts and humiliations, but most
are too polite to complain or too embarrassed to talk about them. Not
Jenny McCarthy! In Belly Laughs, the actress and new mother reveals
the naked truth about the tremendous mood swings, the excruciating
pains, and the unseemly disfigurement that go along with pregnancy.
Never shy, frequently crude, and always laugh-out-loud funny, McCarthy
covers it all in the grittiest of girlfriend detail. With tips and hilarious
musings on morning sickness and hormonal rage, hemorrhoids, pregnant
sex, and the torture and sweet relief that is delivery, Belly Laughs is must-
read comic relief for anyone who is pregnant, who has ever been pregnant,
is trying to get pregnant or indeed, has ever been born!
Just as the week by week pregnancy guides have us first time mothers-to-
be sleepless with worry about everything that can go wrong, Jenny
McCarthy provided some comic relief. I was very isolated from friends and
had no mother or sister figures during my pregnancies, so needless to say
this book balanced my experience. I found myself laughing out loud while
reading, which is rare in the absence of a David Sedaris book.
She pretty much covers the sequence of events and the pros and cons in a
conversational tone. I think the experiences and perspective she shares
had me looking forward to the inevitable more because I knew I wasn't
going it alone.
Now, I buy a copy for every first time mother I know as a gift.
Even though this is an easy, fast read, i t's fun and offsets the logical and
traditional(boring) girlfriends' guide. Many other books are full of dogma.
This resonated more with my personality and honestly-while it's not meant
to be your survival guide-it carries its weight in laughs that most of us will
share.
