The Sh!t No One Tells You About Pregnancy: A Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Beyond

Does the world really need another pregnancy book? The answer is clearly a resounding YES! Author Dawn Dais, known for her other SH!T No One Tells You books, tackles the subject of growing humans in this new addition. Dais tells it like it is, saying out loud all the things so many of us wonder about: the unpleasant side effects, “oopsie” pregnancies, emotional turmoil, the reality of nesting, the mommy wars, and more. Along the way, she gets advice from a variety of other moms, as well as various partners (both fathers and “other” moms). Most pregnancy books are super serious–and with good reason, as pregnancy is a momentous occasion. But Dais brings some much-needed levity to the situation, allowing readers to laugh at how ridiculous some parts are, to possibly cry at others, and to otherwise just stop taking themselves, their bodies, and their babies quite so seriously for a little while. This book would be a great present for a baby shower, for a best friend, a sister… really, for anyone who has a sense of humor and needs a lift.
