Description

The real guide to pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Im assuming youve picked up this book because youre either curious about having kids, youre currently up the duff, or youre stumbling through the early days of parenthood with a mattress-sized sanitary towel between your legs wondering what the hell has just happened. That, or youre killing time in WHSmith, waiting for your flight to Ibiza. You lucky bastard.

Either way, this book is your pregnancy, birth and postpartum BFF.

Welcome to Motherhood, Bitches is your one-stop, no-filter guide to everything from swollen vulvas and dinner-plate areolas; from shitting in labour to the horror of postpartum haemorrhoids; from mindless sleep deprivation to salvaging a sex life when your pelvic floor has hit the floor. But mainly, its a reassuring reminder that feeling slightly (or shockingly) out of control with a newborn baby human is entirely normalwe promise.

Reviews

Nobody and I mean nobody has a way with words quite like Victoria. Candid, reassuring and laugh-out-loud hilarious, this book feels like a friend giving a series of pep talks duringthe hurricane season of pregnancyand new motherhood.
Sarah Turner, The Unmumsy Mum

Striding confidently into all the topics the antenatal and baby groups tiptoe around. This gritty, honest, useful and at times, hilarious guide needs to be handed out with pregnancy notes. Victoria is the foul-mouthed, taboo-embracing, funny-anecdote-sharing, wildly-knowledgeable mate I needed through pregnancy and beyond. Laugh, gasp, learn lots and feel shoulder-dropping relief that youre not alone.
Your parenting bookshelf may be rammed, but nudge them down. Make space for this one, trust me.
Anna Mathur, psychotherapist and bestselling author
