Jenny McCarthy is a comedienne and a former Playmate. She has chronicled her pregnancy experiences in the book Belly Laughs.
And let me tell you, it is funny and informative.
In typical, crass Jenny humour she talks about parts of pregnancy that many, more serious, books miss or gloss over. Most memorable of these is the revelation that most women poop on the delivery table. Jenny freaks out at this information and begins to make plans to ensure it doesn’t happen to her. But by the time that delivery comes, she falls into the category of "I don’t give a damn what else is ejected by me, get this baby out."
I laughed and laughed and laughed at this book. Then I read sections out to the Husband Unit, who laughed and laughed and laughed.
In addition, her take on things like kicking was actually a wake up call for me. I have been whining about the recreation of the 1999 Rockets Christmas show that is happening in my belly nightly. I am talking 2:30 am here people. But Jenny points out that as long as the baby is kicking, it is okay. Talk about changing perspective. So now, I enjoy the Broadway spectacular, cause I know the baby’s alive and kicking as it were.
A fun book. Read it if you or you SO are expecting. Read it even if you are not.
