Product Description

Review
"highly polished and intelligent to boot" The Times "Legends in their own lunchtime" The Guardian

Product Description
This book is the antidote to the rather wholesome, oh-so-serious and often smug range of pregnancy literature currently on offer. It's a story for women everywhere who have been, are or want to be pregnant. Mel Giedroyc, from "Mel & Sue", has based the book on her own experiences of pregnancy and birth and the dramas which ensue, and it covers everything from the usual morning sickness, food cravings and getting a seat on the bus, to the not-so-usual talking in Latin to the foetus through a shower attachment and falling in love with the Epidural anaesthetist. It's a witty and insightful narrative of events leading up to the birth of a first baby through the eyes of an excited, shambolic and slightly at sea, thirty-something, who pens the trials and tribulations of her journey to motherhood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it, you will not be disappointed!, 27 Aug 2004
By FunkyRabbit (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
I immediately bought a copy of this book after reading about it in a pregnancy mag, and it never failed to impress. I knew it would be funny having spent my college days watching Lite Lunch, but this book was something else.
I'm currently 39 weeks pregnant with my second baby, and it has been a pregnancy from hell. I was at the end of my tether when the postman brought me my copy of From Here To Maternity, but I can honestly say I haven't laughed so much at a book in all my nine months of "nightmare". Even my fiance was impressed. It'll have first-time mums relishing the down-to-earth honesty of Mel's pregnancy and labour (which is were so many baby mags fail) and it'll have the rest of us laughing through our labours. And that includes the fathers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest Book Ever, 4 Aug 2005
By Karen. (Lancashire.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From Here to Maternity: One Mother of a Journey (Paperback)
I bought this book early on in pregnancy along with a pile of worthy academic guides. This is the one I've finished - in about 24 hours. The book made me cry laughing. It was hilarious, mirrored my own experiences and made me look forward to the whole thing. Thanks!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read When Pregnant, 21 Aug 2005
By Jo (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From Here to Maternity: One Mother of a Journey (Paperback)
I'm not a Mel & Sue fan but this book is fab, I read it when I was pregnant last year and found myself laughing out loud. I will now buy this book for any friends who become pregnant in the future.
