Book Review - Hot Mom to be Handbook

Yay! Yay! Yay! Baby on the way. As most of you may have recently found out, I am expecting my first child and couldn't be happier (minus the nausea, not being able to get comfortable in bed at all and the extreme fatigue).

Just like everything else in my life, I do research on everything. I don't know how to be a mom. I don't even know how to be pregnant, so I hit the books. The first pregnancy book I picked up was The Hot Mom to be Handbook by Jessica Denay. It was the perfect first read I may add. This book doesn't give you the health class definition of what pregnancy and child birth are gonna be like, but outlines everything you'll need to prepare yourself, your partner and your home for the little one. It's a great resource for things you may need, things you think you need, but will never use and adjusting to your body's transition over the next few months. It was just the read I needed. It gave you tips on preparing your finances for your maternity leave (bills still need to get paid), informing your employer, and keeping your sex life spicy (after all, that is how I got here). It's also a great resource for green alternatives for the Eco friendly mama like myself. Also, you'd be amazed at how many things you're allowed to get away with now that you're pregnant!

This book was exactly what I needed to get in the mindset that I'm going to be a mother and it isn't that scary. My little blessing still has a long way to go before arriving, but now I feel a lot more prepared.

I would definitely recommend to any first time mother, or even am OG mama who wants a fresh pair of eyes for the next little nugget. Either way, it's a great guide to help you feel like your sexy, happy normal self, with a few extra pounds on you.
