Editorial Reviews:

Oh, the joys of pregnancy! There's the gassiness, constipation, queasiness, and exhaustion, the forgetfulness, crankiness, and the constant worry. Of course, no woman is spared the discomforts and humiliations of pregnancy, but most are too polite to complain or too embarrassed to talk about them. Not Jenny McCarthy! In the New York Times best-selling Belly Laughs, actress and new mother Jenny McCarthy reveals the naked truth about the tremendous joys, the excruciating pains, and the unseemly disfigurement that go along with pregnancy. Never shy, frequently crude, and always laugh-out-loud funny, McCarthy covers it all in the grittiest of girlfriend detail. From morning sickness and hormonal rage, to hemorrhoids, pregnant sex, and the torture and sweet relief that is delivery, Belly Laughs is must-read comic relief for anyone who is pregnant, who has ever been pregnant, is trying to get pregnant, or, indeed, has ever been born!

Summary: Inappropriate - but no one should be surprised
Comment: R-rated book is full of inappropriate and crude humor. No one should be surprised though as the author has gained this reputation.

Summary: Funny, and a Quick Read
Comment: My wife and I are expecting a boy on about October 1st (2008). It's the first child for both of us, so we bought the authoritative "Your Pregnancy Week by Week (Sixth Edition)" by G. B. Curtis and Judith Schuler. We'd read a chapter every week. The book was interesting and informative and we learned a lot. But after about the 25th week we began to experience burn-out on the reading of this week by week saga. We joked about the problem with another couple who recently had a baby. They said we were reading the wrong book and furnished us with a paperback titled "Belly Laughs" by Jenny McCarthy.

Jenny McCarthy is an ex-Playboy model and actress. She has an earthy, self-deprecating sense of humor. She described her pregnancy as it really was and she could be quite funny. My wife and I could easily recognize ourselves in her naratives. About the only differences were in matters of degree. For example, my wife hasn't experienced the headaches described by Jenny, but has had much more serious problems with "Charley Horses" in the legs and feet. Otherwise, our experiences follow Jenny's fairly closely. I'd say her experiences were a little more pronounced than ours. I doubt that she was in as good shape as my wife or took as good care of herself. Her husband came across as an insensitive clod here and there. On the other hand, she may have exaggerated some things slightly for the sake of humor, and she can be very funny.

The book is very informal, down-to-earth, funny and a quick read. Most chapters take no more than 5 or 10 minutes. It's not a serious treatise, but would provide good comic relief for any couple going through a pregnancy. The book is very informally written. Some like it as such and some don't. I have no way of knowing, but I have doubts that Ms McCarthy actually sat down and wrote the book. It reads as if it was dictated and recorded, and then typed up with only minimal editorial reworking. That's OK by me. It's an easy and fun book to read and I'd recommend it as light reading for any couple. Some people might find parts of the book offensive; My advice to them would be to lighten up a little. If you want heavier, much more serious reading, the Curtis/Schuler book is one of many that might work well.

Summary: A great, truthful look at pregnancy
Comment: I just finished this book after starting it yesterday and I love it. I'm not pregnant yet, my husband and I are planning on starting to try next year, so I'm reading up a bit. I love Jenny's frankness about all topics that women wonder about before going through it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is or will be getting pregnant - a good read for men as well, my husband will definitely be reading it!

Summary: Great for new mommies
Comment: I got this book when I was preggo and LOVED every page. Jenny is so funny but puts things into a "real" perspective on pregnancy.

Summary: I LOVE her!!!
Comment: Jenny McCarthy is hilarious. This is such a great book to read while pregnant and the perfect diversion from the other scary pregnancy books. It's not only entertaining but it's also a good reference point. Read the rest of her books also, they're just as good!!!
