Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The amateurish tone and the fact that these are clearly not professional writers is oddly the biggest plus point--and paradoxically the biggest weakness. Cynics will point to the overuse of certain words (namely "well"), the contrived jokes and liberal clichés. This, however, is not the fault of the five intelligent women who consist of a community learning disability nurse, a European Business studies graduate, a research scientist, a police officer and an accountant. While the style and approach would have been ideal for a Web site, many readers will be put off by the unnecessary suburban style (not to mention illustrations). Skilful editing and rewriting on the part of the publishers would have elevated their experiences from what amounts to an extended mass magazine feature, and done them the justice their honesty deserves. --Lorna V --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

What does it REALLY feel like to give birth?,
This review is from: The Fat Ladies' Club (Paperback)
This book is a bit misleading because when you pick it up, you think it's a fictional work. It's actually a warts and all account of what pregnancy and giving birth are like for 5 different women. It covers topics that will interest all first time mums to be, including: what does pregnancy do to your boobs, your tummy and your sex life, and what does it really feel like to go through labour? It's frank and doesn't mince words; sqeamish readers may wince when they come across such gems as "will I poo myself when the baby comes out?", but, let's be completely honest here - isn't that something you really need to know?!? The five women narrators are "everywomen" and come across as articulate, accomplished and pleasantly normal. As mentioned in some of the other reviews, there is a sad ending that comes out of the blue and makes the book seem much more poignant than it otherwise would have done. Overall, an interesting, light and informative read on the subject of pregnancy.

A must for your pregnancy!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fat Ladies Club: The Indispensable 'Real World' Guide to Pregnancy (Paperback)
I read this book (twice actually) during my pregnancy and used it to keep referring back to points that were pertinent to me at the time!! I found the book to be honest and humourous at the same time and it was refreshing to know that the huge weight gain and stretch marks were all completely normal. I would recommend this book to anyone who is pregnant, thinking of getting pregnant or even if you've already had children as it's easy to identify with the real stories told by the brilliant authors!!
