Obviously, each couple can decide for themselves, but I just started to struggle through it as these references became more frequent as I didn't find them comical, and they tended to make me feel bad thinking about women dealing with these issues. Another example of the dark side of the book is her talking about how her husband would rather look at dirty magazines than sleep with her while she was a beached whale. Maybe I'm just incredibly lucky or a rare case, but it is sad to me to think of other women having to deal with their partners not stopping the car to let me use the restroom. She makes many comments that appear to me to show an incredibly unsupportive partner which I found to be a bit depressing.

As the book progressed though, I noticed a more derogatory look at the entire experience. For about the first half of the book, I enjoyed the comical portrayal of the 'Crazy lady' as well as the general experience of carrying a child and mood swings that accompany pregnancy. Much of what Jenny McCarthy writes is true, but a lot is very hyperbolic as well. This is what I expected as I began the book, but wanted to make sure others were expecting this as well.

While she touches on many of the issues of pregnancy it is by no means an informative book, but rather a comical view of pregnancy. This was a lighthearted look into pregnancy. Never shy, frequently crude, and always laugh-out-loud funny, McCarthy covers it all in the grittiest of girlfriend detail.Belly Laughs By Jenny McCarthy Book Review Not Jenny McCarthy!
