From Publishers WeeklyDenay (The Hot Mom's Handbook), blogger and founder of the online community Hot Moms Club, focuses on the mom-to-be in this reissue with a snappy cover and design. Denay explains that a hot mom is a woman who is confident and empowered, and who embraces motherhood without giving up her sense of self. The single mom of a nine-year-old boy, Denay covers a wide range of subjects of interest to pregnant women, including healthy eating, baby showers, the latest trends in babymoons (a romantic, before-baby trip), and where to find a masculine-looking diaper bag for dad. Along with practical information on how to design an eco-friendly nursery and useful special sections called bump on a budget, eco-minded mamma Denay touches upon topics that may be of limited appeal, such as what to do about piercings and nipple rings (i.e., nix the latter if breastfeeding) or how to look gorgeous in a HOT nursing bra. Though readers seeking more solemn fare will no doubt quickly lose patience with Denay's chatty prose, many moms-to-be will warm up to the Hot Moms Club discounts and shopping tips, and others may simply enjoy indulging themselves with a breezy read before baby arrives. Pages for journaling dropped into the text seem out of place in this busy guide to shopping, staying hot, and pampering the mom-to-be. (Feb.)

I didn't want to buy one of those usual, dry pregnancy book but something that is informative yet a lot of fun. "The Hot Mom to Be Handbook" is exactly what I was looking for. It was delivered on a Friday, and I read through it myself on the weekend because I couldn't put it down. I read some parts to my husband, and he was laughing so hard... :-)The book provides a LOT of information and helpful links and resources. It really is a very good book for pregnant women. However, the humorous way it is written, and the hilarious stories from other women that are included in this book, make this book unique and an absolute must-buy..! It would probably be a good idea to buy an additional book that contains more medical advice, i.e. "Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy", but "The Hot Mom to Be Handbook" is still absolutely awesome..!! Highly recommend it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
