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!

Lulu it's fine to relist - drop us a line if you need us to do anything.

Sorry that answer was meant for you LadyStealthPolarBear!

Is it completely different to the previous one? There was a previous pregnancy one, wasn't there? I'm sure it's where I first read the cursed magical word Mumsnet

stealth, thanks, have posted on your other thread

Thanks Justine, I'll put it in the right bit!
Eyeballs, yes, there was a "Mums on pregnancy" one, which is just excerpts from threads, I assume this one will be more of a Mumsnet guide iyswim.

Mine arrived yesterday. Didn't think it came out until the 7th, but there it was posted through the window into my downstairs toilet ... cheers postie .

I've only read the first trimester section, but so far so good, not as funny as the toddler guide though, I still laugh at "fuck off ducks, fuck off".

literally into the toilet?

Tigerfeet - I was thinking about how it would look nice with the toddler one too

Yes literally into the toilet, it's DS's toilet and he left the seat up, the toilet is directly under the window. Luckily the Amazon packaging was huge and it wedged itself into the bowl.

@Flamesparrow - these things are very important aren't they? especially when nesting

Just ordered mine... cant wait to get it!!. Am 20 weeks but will still get good time from it. Whens the baby one coming out?

Baby one due in february-ish.

thank you!. Cant you push it back a bit cos I'm due in January

I have just ordered one for my lovely sister who is expecting her 1st dc in March

On the MN homepage there's a typo: it says 'We're tickled pick'

OOPS! txs we'll sort.

Marvellous CyradisTheSeer - hope you like it The stuff about worst things said whilst on gas and air is good.

I have had the Pregnancy Mumsnet Guide for a week now and I read it in one day/night.....(I am a big lumbering 32 weeks pregnant with twins) - I think they should give it out free at your first midwife meeting - its so unpatronising -and I feel very patronised at the momentt!!!....whoever gave the advice about Ranitidine for acid refulx - featured in the book (I have just looked it up and it was someone posting as Bakedpotatohoho)...thank you thank you thank you ... its worked for me - buy this for anyone you know who is pregnant - especially first timers like me....it has made me laugh and been really useful too...most of all reading it has made me feel more human - being pregnant has been the weirdest experience of my life!

Ah, thank you, roselover - we're all chuffed to hear that.

All the best with those twins-to-be!

It could have been worse, your typo could have been we've tickled prick

Then we'd really need the book, WMMC...

My HV saw the toddler one on the coffee table yesterday... asked if it was any good, then asked if I went on Netmums much

She has obviously been beaten to death with said book and is now laying under my tomato plants.

I want to buy it even though I'm not sure I'll have another baby - I discovered mumsnet originally when I found out I was pregnant with my first baby and went into Borders to browse their pregnancy books - that was one of the three I ordered after looking through a whole bookcase full.

How am I meant to justify buying the baby one when ds2 will be turning 1 that month?
