About this ebook

Everything you need to know about pregnancy, from weight gain to stretch marks to figuring out how to rely on Christ through the ups and downs of the next nine months.

In this funny, candid, and detailed guide to pregnancy 101, fellow mother Erin MacPherson takes you through each trimester with helpful tips, humorous true stories, and supportive spiritual advice—all with a friend-to-friend approach that will help you feel comfortable as you navigate this life-changing time.

This comprehensive guide is packed with information that every newly pregnant Christian mama needs, including:

  • Help for pregnancy insomnia, morning sickness, weight gain and more
  • Advice on how to maintain a godly attitude and outlook during pregnancy, even when you're feeling anything but godly
  • What to expect from doctor check-ups, your encounters with the scale and labor and delivery
  • Tips on how to survive food cravings, aversions, and even dreaded pregnancy exercise
  • Healthy eating advice for pregnancy that doesn't outright ban ice cream sundaes
  • Ideas on how to keep your marriage a priority when you're pregnant, including a guide for Christian dads-to-be and even pregnancy sex tips

The perfect book for any expecting mama, this conversational guide to pregnancy makes a wonderful baby shower gift for the pregnant or new mother in your life!

Erin MacPherson

Erin MacPherson is a mom of three who never does anything halfway. When she discovered she was pregnant she decided to write about it—but then kept writing. A former staff writer and editor for Nickelodeon, Erin now entertains parents on her personal blog as well as through freelance magazine articles, devotionals and speaking. She wants to come beside her readers not only as a confidant and Christian sister, but also as a best girlfriend who understands what daily life is all about.
