The Girlfriends' Guide to PregnancyVicki Iovine
Rating: 4.0/5 Stars Rank: 221 Iovine is irreverent, sassy, and incredibly reassuring as she exposes the "truths" of pregnancy and childbirth, from sex to cellulite to cesareans. Iovine birthed four kids in six years, none of them twins, which certainly qualifies her as an expert. The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy does reveal Iovine's particular cultural biases (pregnant or not, most of us don't have record-producer husbands, hang out with supermodels, or wear size-four pants) and philosophical beliefs (she's not a particularly strong proponent of natural childbirth or nursing), but, taken with a grain or two of salt, she provides many hilarious moments, acres of advice, and honest reassurance readers will find nowhere else. --Ericka Lutz About the Author"A day late and a night's sleep short" is the motto of writer, columnist, wife and mother (not in that order, of course!), Vicki Iovine. Vicki began her writing career after the birth of her fourth child (in six years) with the publication of The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy. This book struck a chord among women who found maternity an altered state, and Vicki soon became a regular contributor on such shows as Today, Oprah and The View.She kept in lockstep with the reproductive years of her readers and published The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy Daily Diary; The Girlfriends' Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood; and The Girlfriends' Guide to Toddlers. Vicki is pecking away at her keyboard to finish her fifth book, which deals with parents of school-age kids, for release in fall 2000.
Always armed with an opinion and lots of experience, Vicki is currently
the "new mommy" advice columnist for Child magazine in a monthly
feature called "Girlfriend to Girlfriend." And with fifteen years of
marriage under her belt, she regularly contributes articles to
Redbook as the "Marriage Advisor" on the mysteries of the man/woman
thing. Far more years ago than she cares to
calculate, Vicki graduated summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa in Journalism
from the University of California, Berkeley. Any spare moments she can find are
devoted to her role as a Director of Special Olympics International, the
athletic program founded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver for people with mental
retardation. Along with her husband, Jimmy Iovine, and Bobby Shriver,
Vicki produced two "Very Special Christmas" records of original and
traditional holiday songs performed by the biggest rock, rap and pop acts
of the time. Vicki divides
her time between her car and her home in Los Angeles. Look for her
to introduce the Girlfriends' Guide on the internet later this
year.--This text refers to the
