The Sh!t No One Tells You About Pregnancy: A Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Beyond
Pregnancy is all about expecting that "glow," right? Wrong. Lucky you if you have little to no symptoms at all. However, at least expect that there would be morning sickness (although this sickness could really happen anytime within the day!), difficulty sleeping at night even after you rolled over to every corner of the bed, and even the heaviness of your tummy as you come close to your labor day. This audiobook will help you glide through your nine months journey before you meet your little one.
The Sh!t No One Tells You: A Guide to Surviving Your Baby's First Year
First-time moms would look up to Google to seek some advice on becoming the best parent to their newborn. There are so many good things to see around the internet. More often, we would see that nothing compares to the joy and excitement that you would feel the first time that you held your baby or that it would be hard for a mom to resist their newborn's clinginess. But no one told you the other side of the story. No one said to you that your baby would pee or poop or you when you least expect it, or that tantrums will happen at precisely the moment that you need your baby to behave. Fret not, mommies! Here is a book that covers the details singled out when you were searching through the internet.

Thus, here is a book that moms who are afraid of taking breaks but desperately needed one should read so you would not feel guilty for treating yourself even for just five minutes of your day.
