The Sh!t No One Tells You About Pregnancy - A Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Beyond by Dawn Dais is a raw and candid account of what it's really like to be pregnant and become a new mom. Unlike the typical pregnancy books that sugarcoat the reality of childbirth and motherhood, Dais lays it all out on the table. From glamorous topics like constipation and hemorrhoids to the unappealing realities of childbirth, postpartum depression, and colic, no topic is off-limits.

The book is divided into various sections targeted at different stages of pregnancy and post-birth, including the first trimester, the second trimester, the third trimester, labor and delivery, and the first few months with a newborn. Each section is packed with essential information, survival tips, and reassuring anecdotes that address all the doubts and fears that expectant and new parents experience.

With a blend of humor and empathy, Dais writes in a relatable tone and reassures new moms that they aren't alone in their experiences. She assures them that it's okay to feel overwhelmed, unprepared, or even scared during this life-changing time. She also offers practical advice, such as what to pack in the hospital bag, how to deal with unsolicited advice, and handling the emotional rollercoaster that comes with pregnancy and motherhood.

Overall, The Sh!t No One Tells You About Pregnancy is an enlightening and eye-opening book that every expectant and new mom should have on her bookshelf. It's humorous, honest, and unapologetically real, making it a refreshing departure from the conventional pregnancy books that paint an unrealistic picture of what it's like to be a mom. If you're looking for a no-holds-barred account of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum life, this book is a must-read.
