New York Times bestselling author Nancy Redd’s visual guide to pregnancy and all the bizarre, hilarious, and often unanticipated changes a woman’s body can go through. WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THIS COULD HAPPEN?!— This is not the thought you want to be having when you’re frantically Googling whether your pregnancy symptom is normal or an emergency. Just when you thought there could never be another pregnancy book, Pregnancy, OMG! comes along, and you realize how much the current market is missing. Did you know that: your nose can change size and shape? Your fingernails, far from growing long and strong, can crack or fall off? You can completely (temporarily) lose your sense of smell? That 5% of women grow a third boob? More seriously, that 25-50% percent of the partners of women with postpartum depression develop it themselves, or that 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage? This is a one-stop guide to every change a woman’s body can go through while pregnant, and is unlike anything for expecting parents on the market: it is illustrated by full-color photographs of a diverse set of real pregnant women of all shapes, sizes and ages. Featuring Nancy Redd’s trademark warmth, humor, and candor, and partnered with the advice and vetting of medical experts, this book tackles embarrassing, confusing, and less-widely discussed issues that many pregnant women face while offering practical tips and techniques to ease even the strangest problems, helping to dispel panic and shame, and providing women the resources they need for a healthy pregnancy.

Fans of Sophie Kinsella and Lindsey Kelk, meet Emma Garcia. Vivienne Summers may very well become your next favourite heroine and the one you will want to keep visiting over and over.' Good Books and a Cup of Tea This ISN'T a book about babies... It IS about two people, one unexpected pregnancy and a question... Viv and Max were best friends for years, then they were lovers and then it all went terribly wrong. Now finally they are to be reunited. Viv feels sick. Not just with nerves at seeing the gorgeous Max again, but because there's a small chance she might, quite possibly, most definitely, be pregnant. It's thrilling. But also terrifying. At thirty-two Viv doesn't have a job, only eats fruit when there's nothing else, and can barely meet the needs of her foster cat. And whilst she knows that Max is the love of her life, they don't exactly have the most stable relationship. Then, as Viv's long-lost mother reappears on the scene and they all end up sharing an apartment, all hell breaks loose. HOW ON EARTH ARE THEY GOING TO COPE? OMG Baby! is the hilarious, cringe-worthy and touching sequel to Never Google Heartbreak. What people are saying about Emma Garcia 'This book picks up where Garcia's brilliant debut Never Google Heartbreak left off and it's great to catch up with Viv and Max. Garcia's ingenious wit and characterisation once again shine through... Another laugh-out-loud read from a hugely talented writer'. Chick Lit Club 'Her cracking pace and rapier wit, together with her robust and honest prose will be bound to win Emma Garcia a sackful of fans. Perfect for lovers of Bridesmaids and Caitlin Moran.'Red Magazine 'To say that this book was eagerly awaited is an absolute understatement. Following on from NEVER GOOGLE HEARTBREAK, OMG Baby! reconnects us with Viv and Max in all their fabulously sarcastic glory. The chemistry between these two characters is not only believable but so captivating. Viv and Max have the makings of a married couple but will they ever get that far?' A Page of Love

Now that my ex is no longer in the picture, his friends are going to share me. Kaci: My ex and I broke up, but it was on good terms. As a result, when two of his friends approach me for some hot times, who am I to say no? After all, Hunter and Brent are gorgeous. The pair are aspiring professional athletes with broad shoulders, six pack abs, and best of all, two huge anacondas that go down to the knee. Past the knee, if I’m being honest. Even better, Hunter and Brent come to my party bearing gifts. We went into the bedroom … Where I undid the filmy ribbon on the box… … revealing something naughty inside! Soon, we were using the dirty item while moaning up a storm. In fact, our friends said we could have woken the dead with all the grunts and panting, not to mention the rhythmic banging on the wall. Most girls would be embarrassed. Most girls would blush and try to deny everything, but not me because I’m Kaci Stott, and I was born to be a bad girl. But can our menage last when Hunter and Brent find out the truth about my family? After all, I’m a naughty woman who walks on the wild side, but what happens when my lovers discover that my dad is running a HAREM of young, nubile women? And that he wants ME to join? This story is a follow-up to Taking His Punishment. Sanctuary Church isn't like any other religious organization out there, so in this story, you know that things are only going from HOT to HOTTER! Now, it’s time for some steamy MFM romance with two irresistible alpha males who appreciate what a saucy woman brings to the table. But the issue is that Kaci gets a serving of spice along with her sauce, and soon, things have gone totally off the rails when it comes to Kaci's dad and his harem of young, impressionable women who don't know any better. As always, these stories are totally off the reservation because let's face it - we like them that way :) Be sure to bring a tall glass of iced tea because you’ll be hot, sweaty, and panting by the end. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and always a HEA for my readers.

Argues that expectations for mothering include a new core principle of “body work.” The requirements of “good” motherhood used to primarily involve the care of children, but now contemporary mothers are also pressured to become bikini-ready immediately postpartum. Lynn O’Brien Hallstein analyzes celebrity mom profiles to determine the various ways that they encourage all mothers to engage in body work as the energizing solution to solve any work-life balance struggles they might experience. Bikini-Ready Moms also considers the ways that maternal body work erases any evidence of mothers’ contributions both at home and in professional contexts. Hallstein theorizes possible ways to fuel a necessary mothers’ revolution, while also pointing to initial strategies of resistance. “Bikini-Ready Moms contributes a great deal to understanding both the obsession with celebrity mom profiles and the pressure that mothers are under to conform to and perform intensive mothering as it shifts into another gear to control women.” — Fiona Joy Green, author of Practicing Feminist Mothering

Twyla has always believed things happen for a reason, but when she starts having severe health issues and doctors won’t listen to her concerns, she finds herself questioning everything, including her diagnosis … and wondering if her mother’s death holds the answer. Twyla enters high school sure of three things: Her best friends will always be there for her, the next four years will be amazing, and her mom was right when she said there’s a reason behind everything. Then she gets extremely nauseous and has trouble concentrating during a field hockey game. The doctors say it’s only a mild digestive issue, but Twyla is convinced they’re wrong. Making things worse, her friends start ghosting her outside of school, even though they tell her everything is fine, and her dad is becoming more distant each time she asks about her mom’s life before she died. As Twyla’s illness intensifies and her diagnosis stays the same, she finds herself feeling like her world is unraveling.
