Postcards from the Bump: A Chick's Guide to Getting to Know the Baby in Your Belly

by Emily Miles Terry and Ame Mahler Beanland

Book Overview

Despite the abundance of parenting primers, no single book helped expectant parents focus on a key player in the process--the developing baby itself--until now. Postcards from the Bump teaches parents to recognize the many cues babies give about their burgeoning personalities and what they'll be like once they've entered the world.

Here are true stories from moms, helpful tips, and how-to's--from dressing your bump to planning a "babymoon"...

Can't say enough great things about the book. Enjoy.

A Belly Good Book

The Chick's do it again! Another fun, informative book by the "It's A Chick Thing" authors. This will be my new go-to book for my expectant friends and family. The stories from mom's who have been there give those entering this most wonderful experience of life a heads up on things to pay attention to and to watch for. I particularly like the pages for notes to record the readers experiences for their bumps to read later. The medical and scientific information is also helpful to give insight into the changes going on in our bodies and minds during pregnancy. From hormones to why we go to the refrigerator only to find that we have no idea why...this is the information we need in short form rather than having to wade through a medical textbook. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book for mom's-to-be, dad's-to-be and those who have been there!

Marvelous and a great gift for expecting moms!

Easy and fun read! PFTB really called to mind some great memories from being pregnant. I just laughed being reminded of the times my husband and I read books about what to expect and the precious and ridiculous moments that come with pregnancy. As a mom of two it was fun to read other's adventures in expecting and some really good advice and recipies. The book is a must give gift to all your girlfriends growing thier own bumps and a trip down memory lane for you.
