Advantages: Light Hearted and Quick to Read! Disadvantages: Would have liked some diary entries for how Mel coped after the birth!
This book is written by one half of comedy duo Mel & Sue and is a diary of the nine month spiral towards motherhood.
I bought this book as I am currently 3 months pregnant and was looking for something different from all the pregnany help guides out there which looked abit intimidating.

This idea of course, is utter nonsense film acting is a specialist skill that takes ...

But I read a review on Dooyoo about this book and thought that it looked like a laugh so when I was in my local library, I saw a copy on the shelf and quickly took it home.
