The Christian Mama’s Guide to Having a Baby by: Erin MacPherson

Being a member of Booksneeze means I get some pretty amazing books to read and review. The Christian Mama’s Guide to Having a Baby Everything You Need to Know to Survive (and Love) Your Pregnancy by: Erin MacPherson is on the top of that amazing list right now.

About the Book:

Everything you need to know about pregnancy—from weight gain to stretch marks to figuring out how to rely on Christ through the ups and downs of the next nine months.

This comprehensive guide is packed with information that every newly pregnant Christian mama needs—including:

• help for pregnancy insomnia, morning sickness, weight gain and more
• advice on how to maintain a godly attitude and outlook during pregnancy—even when you’re feeling anything but godly
• what to expect from doctor check-ups, your encounters with the scale and labor and delivery
• tips on how to survive food cravings, aversions, and even dreaded pregnancy exercise
• healthy eating advice for pregnancy that doesn’t outright ban ice cream sundaes
• ideas on how to keep your marriage a priority when you’re pregnant, including a guide for Christian dads-to-be and even pregnancy sex tips

This detailed guide takes you through each trimester with helpful tips, humorous accounts, and supportive spiritual advice–all with a girlfriend-to-girlfriend approach that will help moms feel comfortable as they navigate this life-changing time.

My Thoughts:

This is by far the funniest book on pregnancy I have ever read! I found myself laughing until I almost peed my pants. My favorite part is the mens take on pregnancy not to mention the women you meet in birthing class.  This is not the usual this is what you do and the medical advice books that you are use to reading. This is one woman’s take on the things she has learned from being pregnant and how she felt. I think that is what makes it so wonderful. It is real  and I love that Mrs. MacPherson  reminds us that we can always lean on God for help in any situation including pregnancy.
