Product Description

Product Description

Being pregnant for the first time changed Jools Oliver’s life. Having longed for children since before she can remember, she was suddenly faced with an array of unfamiliar, unexpected and sometimes downright embarrassing emotional and physical reactions. And when Poppy (and a year later Daisy) was born she had to learn a whole new set of skills. From trying to conceive and a first positive pregnancy test to Poppy’s first birthday, Minus Nine To One takes you through the worries, surprises, excitement, miracles and sheer bloody hard work that Jools – and all new mums in their own different ways – have to cope with along the way. As Jools writes, ‘This certainly isn’t meant to be read as a guidebook, or a medical reference book – it is simply my story and I hope that you can relate to it in some way (and maybe even relax with it in the bath!).' Down to earth, personal and very, very funny, this is the book no aspiring mother will want to be without.


About the Author

Jools Oliver lives with her husband and two little girls in London and Essex. This is her first book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic read, 6 Dec 2006
By Mrs. L. R. Pringle - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is absolutely brilliant - I read it in about 2 nights. I think this is a book that most mums or mums to be can relate to. Even if you are not a mum or mum to be I think it would make great reading. I read this book when my baby was 7 months - it was great to read about her pregnancy and could relate it back to my pregnancy. I found this book very funny and lighthearted in places. I only hope there is a follow up. I would recomend this book very highly and only wish I could reward it with more than 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars A thoroughly enjoyable read, 18 Sep 2005
By Mrs. A. J. Nicholls (Wiltshire, England, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Our little boy is now 4 months old and immersed as I am currently, in that new baby blissful bubble, I just couldnt resist this book. It is funny, warm, candid and hugely enjoyable, simply a must for all news mums! Jools punctuates her book with gorgeous pictures of her little girls and, at all times, comes across as really human and likeable (not at all like one of those precious celebrity mums we see in the tabloids constantly) I thoroughly enjoyed it and Jools, if you're listening, please can you publish a book of childrens recipes!

5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing look at pregnancy and motherhood, 19 Sep 2005
By michelle (Merseyside, England) - See all my reviews
As the title suggests this is indeed an honest account of Jools experience. I am 7 months pregnant with my second child and fed up with reading books written by "experts". I found myself laughing out loud at her irrational thinking when breastfeeding and insanely tired. I read this book over two evenings as i found myself unable to wait for the different stages of her experience. It brought back memories of my first experiences of pregnancy and motherhood and left me truly excited for my forth coming baby.
Recommended to anyone contemplating pregnancy,pregnant or new parents as it really offers a fair view of the stresses and joys that parenting brings.
Well done Jools
