The Sh!t No One Tells You About Pregnancy

A candid and hilarious survival guide for expectant parents navigating the excitement, anxiety, and absurdity of pregnancy.

“A no-holds-barred look at all of the changes and challenges that new moms and dads can face, along with the three little words every infant-toting parent wants to hear: It gets better.” ―Parade 

The Sh!t No One Tells You About Pregnancy reminds readers that pregnancy is about more than designing the perfect nursery and registering for ironic onesies. Sometimes, pregnancy is about fighting off morning sickness, stressing over which name will ruin your kid’s life the least, and randomly bursting into tears over everything and nothing. Not to worry! Dawn Dais is here, ready to shepherd readers through the experience of one human body taking on the task of growing another human body.

Dawn covers it all, sharing expert tips, warnings, fascinating historical insights that remind readers they are far from the first people to worry their way through pregnancy, and even a series of Parent-Training Workouts designed to increase readers’ tolerance for the various indignities of parenthood, like peeing with an audience or surviving an afternoon in Chuck E. Cheese. Newly updated and revised with additional insights from health care professionals and fresh perspectives woven throughout, The Sh!t No One Tells You About Pregnancy is a candid and humorous guide for soon-to-be parents.
