My Two Cents' Worth on Pregnancy: The Reality of a Future Mom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781523930111)

Why all moms forget the pregnancy side effects and the pain of labor as soon as the baby arrives? Which side effects are the most common and how I cope with them? Will I be able to breast feed? Why does a working women usually keep the pregnancy secret? How long should women work while pregnant? Jasna Zekic does not question only the process of child-bearing while dealing with the unexpected side effects. She questions the socio-economic system in place for women - from work environment to maternity leave policies in place. She begins her first trimester observing the role of hormones. Some of the side-effects cause back pain, insomnia and exhaustion while others have an effect on her potty business and hair growth. She does not hide anything, from her food cravings, weight increase, the frequent visits to OB&GYN, to mood changes. Zekic illustrates pregnancy month by month and what women go through while growing a small human inside a womb. Her Two Cents Worth cover the topic on why sex is not so forbidden fruit for pregnant women. The reality of unexpected body changes. The work conditions. The birth preparation, anticipation, and the fear of giving the birth. My Two Cents Worth symbolize the amendment to known facts about the pregnancy, and the reality of normal side effects. Pregnant women, and all future moms reading this book will be prepared to expect the unexpected. The book can deliver more than just examples about certain discomforts. It will change the way we appreciate the pregnant woman and the way we interpret the world helping them prepare for the big future.
