Brimming with the author’s signature frankness and humor, a no-holds-barred account of what you can really expect when you’re expecting.

Oh, the joys of pregnancy! There’s the gasiness, constipation, queasiness, and exhaustion; the forgetfulness, crankiness, and the constant worry. Of course, no woman is spared these discomforts and humiliations, but most are too polite to complain or too embarrassed to talk about them. Not Jenny McCarthy!

In Belly Laughs, the actress and new mother reveals the naked truth about the tremendous mood swings, 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. With tips and hilarious musings on morning sickness and hormonal rage, 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!
Customer Review: Laugh-Out-Loud Funny…
My copy came in the mail last night and I finally got around to taking at peak today at lunch. I have to confess, I’m only on page 37, but I was surprised to find myself laughing out loud in the restaurant and hesitating to put it down. The chapters are short and easy to read and Jenn’s wit is refreshing. Belly Laughs is a nice break from the “informative” pregnancy reading that most of us find ourselves drowning in. Can’t wait to finish!
Customer Review: Tons of Fun
I really enjoyed this book. Jenny McCarthy is very up-front and detailed about her pregnancy experience. Which is a good thing - she has an excellent, irreverent sense of humor. Reading this book feels like a conversation with a close friend. McCarthy has been through all the good and bad sides of pregnancy. When you read this book, you know that she understands what it’s all like, and that makes you feel a little less scared about the whole thing.

My only real complaints are the length and the editing. This book is way too short, and it also reads like it was written in a rush. The tone is more like an email (lots of capital letters, poor grammar, clumsy sentences) than a professionally published book. Still, at least it is genuine. There is no doubt that this is what Jenny McCarthy really felt during her pregnancy.

Also, you may think that a blonde TV star and former Playboy Playmate cannot possibly understand how fat you feel during pregnancy. But in Jenny McCarthy’s case, you’d be wrong. She started out skinny, sure, but she gained sixty pounds. So she does really know what it’s like to be horrified by the number on the scale. That helps. Learn More / Buy Now
