In Asking for a Pregnant Friend: 101 Answers to Questions Women Are Too Embarrassed to Ask about Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood, beloved childbirth preparation educator, doula, and author Bailey Gaddis offers women frank girlfriend talk and expert advice about pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood.

“There are thousands of women searching for answers around pregnancy and childbirth online,” writes Bailey. Instead of frustration of having to track down answers, I want the answers to come from a friend who would never judge or make anyone feel like a weirdo for asking that ‘TMI’ question.

Asking for a Pregnant Friend covers everything from why some pregnant women have a swollen-to-capacity labia, an almost constant desire to masturbate, and fears that their partner will cheat, to strange smells coming from various orifices, crippling disappointment when they discover their baby’s sex, and concerns they’ll be a bad mother. When the book moves into early motherhood, Bailey discusses things like why some women have orgasms while breastfeeding, what it means to have thoughts about harming the newborn, how normal it is to resent the baby for getting all the attention, and much more.

Why is this interview incredibly important, because whether this information is for oneself or a gift to a friend or family member, leading a shame-free and super-empowered journey is one of the most important first steps any woman will make into motherhood.
