Funny Little Pregnant Things: The good, the bad, and the just plain gross things about pregnancy that other books aren’t going to tell you

Today’s pregnancy books may no longer recommend martinis and cigarettes to help pregnant women relax, but most offer moms to be a ton of worthless information―like what kind of fruit your baby is the size of at Week 16. Is there any practical value in knowing that your child resembles produce? And where’s the good stuff―the useful details, like beware of the baby registry and all the crap you will never use, or be prepared to get breast milk all over everything you own? Hilarious, candid, and easy to read, Funny Little Pregnant Things is full of helpful information about all the stuff people don’t tell you about pregnancy―the good, the bad, and the ugly.

"Brutally honest and laugh-out-loud funny, with chapters short enough to read between trips to the bathroom, this is a welcome addition to the expectant parent’s bookshelf.”
―Booklist


“A no-holds-barred and funny glimpse into all things pregnancy, Funny Little Pregnant Things made me cringe and laugh, sometimes at the same time. Doherty covers gritty, grimy, intimate bodily changes, baby prep, and life post-child with candor and humor. I thought I knew everything there was to know from my girlfriends and other books―but Doherty’s book is a much better resource!”
―Lori Green LeRoy, author of The Inadequate Conception From Barry White to Blastocytes


"As a mom of two, this fantastic book had me laughing out loud. Emily Doherty is brilliant at 'telling it how it is' when it comes to the mysteries of pregnancy. If you feel like laughing, or know someone who's expecting, pick up this hilarious, quick read. You won't regret it!"
―Jill Kelsey, editor, First Time Parent magazine
