I have had three pregnancies and having read this book more out of curiosity than anything I now wish I could have had it when I was pregnant.
As Myleene says in the introduction it is not intended to be a medical guide, the week by week information provided does give you some idea of how big the baby is growing and when to expect some of the bigger milestones such as scans.
The best thing I found was the refreshing honesty with which the book is written, highlighting some of the less glamorous aspects of pregnancy. Initially I was sceptical, after all celebrities have it easy don't they? This book showed me that this was not the case, Myleene worries about child care, looking after the baby during the pregnancy when to go public and how much to buy for the baby just like the rest of us.
Also included were some snippets from Gray, the father-to-be which provide a man's perspective, something usually lacking in pregnancy books.
I finished this book quickly as I was eager to read it, it is well written and I sympathised, laughed and empathised as I read. For a non-medical take on what pregnancy is really like I would recommend this book to mums to be and for nostalgia and a good read for Mums and women everywhere.
