Fat Ladies Club — Penguin Books

The Fat Ladies Club met at antenatal classes and became firm friends. This book is the result of their shared experiences of first-time pregnancy. Nothing is left out, so be prepared to read about their emotions, hormones, and bodily changes -- some humorous, some horrendous -- as the ladies get ready for motherhood. Forget the textbook theory and settle down for what amounts to an eavesdrop into their girly chats. Did they get stretch marks -- how many, where, and what were they like? What happened to their sex lives? Did "it" feel the same afterwards? When did they first feel like a mom? Other books give you the factual stuff, but this alternative guide to the real ins and outs of pregnancy gives advice which all women will learn from.
