This book was the worst. Maybe I'm hormonal and pregnant but that makes me the target audience right? Soooooo judgy at a time in a woman's life when the last thing she needs is judgement. Not a book I will pass on.

No, I don't want no judgment
This book is a book that can't get no love from me
Hangin' off the top shelf side
Of it's judgy nosedive
Trying to throw shame at me.

I haven't been as active on here lately because I've been too exhausted to read much. Look closely at the books my hubby and I are reading to figure out why :-)

britt_brooke Congratulations!! ❤️❤️❤️ 7y
Books88 YAY!!! My husband bought that same book! Congratulations!! There is nothing that is like that kind of tiredness. 7y
Reviewsbylola So exciting! For some reason, I always have an aversion to reading when I'm pregnant. Maybe it is the exhaustion! 7y

Librarylady3 @Reviewsbylola For me it is the exhaustion and the brain fog combo. I'm lucky if I can read a couple chapters a week! 7y
Librarylady3 @AJBowers no, there isn't. I always thought that my first year of teaching would be the most exhausting...until I got pregnant. This is a whole new level of tired. 7y

Nice introduction to the idea of being a real person during pregnancy.

This book was fine until I got the point where the "girlfriends" think it's not important to exercise while pregnant. That is just ignorant. Also, terrible advice.
