From Here to Maternity: One Mother of a Journey

By Mel Giedroyc and Mel Giedroye

'I'm 35 years old. A low-ranking TV personality. Rather immature and carefree my only responsibility to date has been a guinea pig. All that's about to change. I'm pregnant and now I've become a cheddar cheese junkie inseparable from my dungarees. Help '

Who can Mel turn to?

Pen her best friend who is still annoyingly carefree and single and whose effect on Mel is like an injection of pure caffeine to the system?

Jools the hippy who recommends basil nosegay for labour pains and placenta pate canapes when entertaining?

Amanda the well-heeled pregnant-friend-from-Hell who only weeks after her textbook delivery is planning to have her firstborn taught to ski?

Kate Mel's sister and mother of two whose offspring are inclined towards dangerous Captain Hook impersonations and sudden mood swings?

Mel's mother who got Mel through babyhood by way of regular coffee mornings and who impresses on her the importance of portable 1950s baby gear that looks about as foldable as a Transit van?

Dan the dad-to-be who suddenly stops going to the pub to concentrate on Mel's dietary requirements and has adopted the sinister habit of always keeping a tape measure attached to his belt?
