Mumsnet: the Pregnancy Guide

[HelenMumsnet]

We're tickled pink to announce the publication of our latest MN book, Mumsnet: the Pregnancy Guide.

Packed with the wit and wisdom of many a Mumsnetter, it covers every stage of the hormone-sodden path to parenthood with the kind of tell-it-like-it-is honesty you're all known for.

And it's illustrated by our very own, very talented Boco.

You can read all about it here, have a quick dekko at Justine's foreword here - and, of course, order it here.

Buy a copy! Tell your friends! And tell us what you think!

Grrr - I have 6 weeks left of the final pregnancy!

[HelenMumsnet]

Plenty of time to read it, Flamesparrow!

AND review in on Amazon...

[CMOTdibbler]

Nice plug in the Guardian today

[saltyseadog]

I had it on pre-order from Amazon , so have had my copy for the past week. Very pleased with it so far - good balance between sensible, grounding advice and lol quotes (my favourite section of quotes is the 'what childbirth's like' ).

Well done MN (and everyone who contributed).

[JustineMumsnet]

Thanks saltyseadog, feel free to review on Amazon!

[hackedoffandcross]

I saw the plug in the Guardian too - didn't realise it was an excerpt from the MN book til it mentioned 'ladygarden' and I had a lightbulb moment

[Flamesparrow]

Please tell me antenatal depression is covered in it

[NoahFence]

ooh it mentions jack bauer - i think that was me

[LuluMaman]

am i in it?

[JustineMumsnet]

It is Flamesparrow - page 57 - though not in enormous detail it must be said. We actually had to cut around 20% of the book in the end because it was too huge - so much to cover in pregnancy.

LuluMaman IIRR you feature rather a lot!

[LuluMaman]

in that case i'llbuy it,especially if my sex and nipple twiddling advice has made it in !!

[JustineMumsnet]

What do you take us for, imbeciles? How could we omit nipple twiddling!

[LuluMaman]

thank you saint justine of MN towers..

[Threadworm]

The excerpt in the Guardian was lovely.

[Wonderstuff]

sounds fab hopefully won't need it for a while..

[Flamesparrow]

as long as it gets a mention I am happy. Far too many of the books never even touch on it.

[rubyslippers]

Many women spend weeks on a diet of Haribo sweets and ginger ale.

erm, yep

sounds fab - will be getting a copy for my friends - i only have around 4 weeks to go before DC2 makes an appearence

[MamaG]

I will buy it for my sister if she ever gets pg

But i will order the Toddler guide asap, but def before BabyG gets much older

[LadyStealthPolarBear]

I have a week left
one week
and selling all my pregnancy books!

[JustineMumsnet]

Think of it as a childbirth book LadyStealthPolarBear - nearly half of it about that .

[LuluMaman]

what books you getting rid of Stealth?

[TigerFeet]

Due in 9 days... might get it anyway, it'll look nice next to my MN Toddlers book on the bookshelf.

When's the MN Guide to Babies coming out? When my baby turns 2??

[LadyStealthPolarBear]

well since you ask Lulumama
Justine - I've just noticed I advertised my sling in the For Sale - Books section, I know I'm not meant to relist within a certain time, but would it be OK if I moved it? If not I'll just post it again in a few weeks.

[JustineMumsnet]

Babies out in Feb roughly - so not too long to wait!
