Synopses & Reviews
Oh, the joys of pregnancy! There's the gassiness, constipation, queasiness, and exhaustion, the forgetfulness, crankiness, and the constant worry. Of course, no woman is spared the discomforts and humiliations of pregnancy, but most are too polite to complain or too embarrassed to talk about them. Not Jenny McCarthy! In the New York Times best-selling Belly Laughs, actress and new mother Jenny McCarthy reveals the naked truth about the tremendous joys, 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. From morning sickness and hormonal rage, to 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!
Review
"Like a gossipy girlfriend, McCarthy brings you in and makes you laugh; there's a certain comfort in knowing that even a sex symbol gets stretch marks and balloons to 200 pounds during pregnancy.... A must-have." --
Booklist "Jenny McCarthy is now the go-to girl for pregnancy." --Toronto Star
"Dishes dirt on giving birth that you never knew you needed to know.... [McCarthy is quite funny and, in the end, this is a celebration of motherhood." --Gotham
"You don't even have to be knocked up to enjoy [this book]." --Playboy
"McCarthy is undeniably crass but funny, and her candor and self-deprecation are refreshing." --Publishers Weekly
Review
Bella Online"One of the most candid, refreshing and funny books on pregnancy that I have ever read. I laughed so hard at times that I had tears rolling down my cheeks...Humorous and candid."

"A book for the expectant mother who needs a few moments of frivolity."
MediaMikes.com, 2/20/2014
"Jam packed with side splitting stories...The cool part about the book is that it doesnt really matter if you have 1 kid or 10 or if youre a guy or a girl. McCarthys book has a little something for everyone...Graphic yet hysterical stories...A fun quick read that both you and your significant other can enjoy."
