What to Expect When You're Expected: A Fetus's Guide to the First Three Trimesters 
• “My mother just took a sip of white wine. Am I going to end up looking like some Chernobyl baby now?”
• “So far Mommy is spending most of her pregnancy in a state of stress, anxiety, and depression. Which one should she focus on?”
• “I’m kicking as hard as I can, but Mom says it feels like ‘butterflies fluttering.’ Am I doing something wrong?”
• “Why do my parents blast Mozart at me every night right when I’m trying to sleep?!?”
• “To the nearest hundred, how many people should Mommy invite to my birth?”
It was funny but pretty raunchy.

I was bored by the end of the first chapter. It may just be me - I never enjoy crude parody.
I was going back and forth between two and three stars for this one. I "like" a lot of the books I read, but don't feel compelled to read them again (which is when I would give something 4 or 5 stars), and I decided I liked this book at least a little less than most other books I read, which is why I gave it two stars. If there had been less liberal use of the f word to describe sexual intercourse and other profanities strewn throughout the book, I may have rated it higher. I just don't feel all
Amusing and clever.
I had high hopes for this book after reading the forward (I swear I was rolling on the floor laughing) but the rest of the book wasn't nearly as funny- had its moments but over all was a dud.
