This was pretty funny. I read it cover to cover, but it may have been better just to flip to random pages. Good for a laugh and a not so rosy view of parenthood. Made me feel bad for my friends with kids.

This is the only book you really need as you prepare for childbirth. I laughed until I cried and felt like finally there was proof that pregnancy need not make you crazy.

DNF

This book had its moments, but overall, I just did not find it laugh out loud funny. The ludicrous, crass hyperbole about how pregnancy and babies ruin your life just got tiresome after 250+ pages. I'd rather read a book that either a) actually makes me laugh or b) encourages me that having kids is not the worst decision ever!

So this book cracked me up. There are a lot of laugh out loud funny parts. For Example: "Have you encountered dampness in the pants area whenever you chuckle at a Family Circus cartoon? Good news: you're not in early labor! You're only peeing on yourself". That may be only funny to those have experienced the joy of pregnancy, but I fit those requirements. I also felt inspired to get a shirt that says "I'm not fat. I'm just pregnant". Mine should probably more appropriately say "Yes, I'm fat, but I'm also pregnant". There are some crass parts in the book, so if it's hard for you to ignore those sort of things I wouldn't recommend it. Otherwise, it's nice to read something lighthearted like this when you feel like death all the time.

In its first two pages, this book elicited two lols, a chuffle, and a sustained grin.

Secret ambition: to pass this book onto Mike in hopes that he will no longer panic about babies and (maybe) decide to actually father one before my ovaries shrivel up for good.

p.s. Am I the only one who wants to type this book's title as Let's Panic! About Babies? Okay, good to know.

Snorted coffee out of my nose.

Really funny - but I kind of lost interest halfway through. Funny is good, but I think a whole book of funny is wearisome.

More humor than help-me. Actually nothing in this book is real so prepare to use this just to laugh. Most of it is about being pregnant so I would read this during pregnancy and not when the baby is 2 like I did. I also was looking for something a bit helpful so that is why I only liked the book.

Surely the only parenting book that references Brian Dennehy no fewer than 10 times!
