Jenny McCarthy’s hilarious, no-holds-barred personality has made her an instantly recognizable TV personality and a bestselling author. In Baby Laughs she examines the full range of challenges that new mothers face, including:

• The humiliations of postnatal "numbing spray," Tucks medicated pads, and adult diapers; jelly belly, balding, and gum disease; and becoming a "five-foot puke rag" for the baby
• Heart-stopping terrors, such as baby manicures, breathing checks, and burp failures
• Inadequacies, such as lullaby illiteracy and the need for a "heavy rotation" of toys, videos, and mobiles
• Daddy antics, such as infant wrestling, home-movie mania, sleeping like a log, and expecting sex
• Dueling grandmas, germ-ridden guests, Olympic-class competitive mommies, anorexic pets— and much more.

Mothers and fathers will find much-needed relief and insight in this sometimes touching, sometimes gritty, but always perceptive and outrageously funny account of what it truly means to have your very own small bundle of joy.

 "Great Book" 2009-09-30
By M. Odom (Port St Lucie, FL)
This book scared me slightly since I am still pregnant but was extremely entertaining. I am happy that she can tell it like it is so that new mothers will know what to expect.

 "You just gotta love Jenny!" 2009-09-04
By K. Farone
Her series of the 3 "Laughs" are a must have for anyone, even if you aren't pregnant and don't have kids. I'll pick up one of Jenny's book any day!

 "Funny and helpful" 2009-08-16
By PollyWannaBook
My sister just made me an aunt so I wanted to be ready for all the

changes that would happen to both the baby and her.

My sister loved the funny insight from Jenny McCarthy's earlier book

on pregnancy called 'Belly Laughs' that I wanted to know what she had

to say about the part I could actually help with: the baby part.



This book was laugh out loud funny in parts and extremely informative

throughout. I felt like I was chatting with one of my best

girlfriends. If you just had a baby or a baby just came into your

life, spend a couple fun hours with Jenny McCarthy :)

 "Another great read from Jen M!" 2009-06-30
By Heidi Dexter (Sunny Florida)
After reading Belly Laughs, I had to buy this one. It's like what happens once the baby comes home. A lot of pooping, apparently! But it's also about adjusting and doing things for the baby and staying up at all hours of the night--basically the trails and tribulations of a new parent. I liked the book, thought it was funny and would defintely recommend it, along with her other book, Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Childbirth.

 "Must-have book for any mom or mom-to-be!" 2009-06-28
By Erin Clark (Boise, ID USA)
I read Jenny's first book, Belly Laughs and LOVED it. This one is even more hilarious! I have given both books to friends as gifts when they found out they were expecting. I haven't talked to one person who didn't love this book as well as all of Jenny's others. She's honest and humorous at the same time!

 "Not funny, inappropriate, and gross" 2010-02-26
By Julia Hart (District of Columbia)
If you thought this book is going to make you want to be pregnant -- you're wrong!



I read the first few chapters and was surprised that this book received so many good reviews on Amazon. So I gave it another chance... Big mistake. I'm grossed out forever!!! :-) And it's not that I don't have a good sense of humor -- I do, but this is just not what you need when you want to get information about pregnancy. Yes, she does give you some of her experience of being pregnant, but every woman is different and this book might just scare you. I truly believe that when you read a pregnancy guide book, or any pregnancy book for that matter, it doesn't need to scare you or add more fears to the already feared experience. I hoped that Jenny will add some scientific facts, but she really avoids doing all that: "that's what the doctor said. Or something."



Girls, if you're looking for a pregnancy book -- that's not the one. Oh, and please don't ever show it to your husband. Thanks.

 "My favorite pregnancy book I've read!" 2010-02-22
By Stephanie L. Boles (Maine)
I have read several of the highly recommended pregnancy books lately, but I found them all to have the same cut-and-dry (and slightly intimidating) facts and viewpoints. Belly laughs took a look at pregnancy from the layperson side, and actually gave me a lot more usable information than the encyclopedia-type books did. As an early-twenties mom, it gave me the info that I can't just find on google!

 "Don't read if you have Morning Sickness" 2010-02-21
By Ashley M. Green
I was reading Belly Laughs while in the OB waiting room, during my first trimester. I was laughing and enjoying myself until a certain part detailing Jenny's discharge sent me on a mad dash for the bathroom. Point of the story: very funny book, unless you're experiencing morning sickness.

 "Hilarious" 2010-02-17
By Rebekah L. Fritzler (Omaha)
I thought this book was hilarious! Jenny McCarthy does a great job of discussing all of the "unmentionable" pregnancy topics and kept me laughing throughout the book. It is easy and fun to read and a nice break from the more mundane pregnancy books out there.

 "Easy and Fun To Read!" 2010-02-15
By BecEG (Reno, NV)
Its so good to have a fun and entertaining book to read amidst all the serious boring medical pregnancy books. Jenny McCarthy made me feel fortunate as she had every horrible pregnancy symptom possible. So I expected the worst and when my symptoms came up I felt I had it way easier than others. Jenny's descriptions of her pregnancy is hilarious.

Healing and Preventing Autism: A Complete Guide

Buy Low Price From Here Now
Jenny McCarthy-whose bestselling books Louder Than Words and Mother Warriors told the stories of healing children with autism-teams up with a preeminent autism doctor to write the first book on a remarkably effective treatment.

In 2006, autism became the leading disorder affecting children in the United States. While diagnoses skyrocket and parents struggle to find help, a group of innovative doctors has been pioneering therapies and treatments that are remarkably effective in healing conditions associated with autism. As word spreads about these incredible discoveries- helped in part by Jenny McCarthy's book Louder Than Words- parents are desperate to learn about the biomedical therapies for themselves.

Since early intervention is key to a successful recovery, McCarthy has teamed up with Dr. Jerry Kartzinel, the doctor who successfully treated her son, to write the first book to give parents all the necessary information about biomedical treatment. Beginning with diagnosis, Dr. Kartzinel explains the different therapies that he uses. He shows parents how to make simple changes to their child's environment and diet that can result in marked improvements and are safe and easy to try at home. And finally he explains some of the more advanced therapies that many doctors use today, and the way parents, alongside a qualified medical professional, can determine whether or not such treatments would benefit their child.

For new parents, Dr. Kartzinel provides helpful guidelines on how to best protect their child from developing autism.

 "Hope in a book for parents of children with autism" 2010-02-18
By Shevi (NJ, USA)
I have an autistic son. When you hear that diagnosis, it comes crashing down on you like a tsunami, threating to wash all hope for your child's future away. But you can't give up hope, and that's what this book is about.



Most of the controversy around this book comes from the medical community saying a certain vaccine couldn't have caused a single child's autism, the diets and other treatments in the book don't really cure autism, and that the evidence of both things is only anecdotal. Maybe they're right. I know my son's autism wasn't caused by a vaccine--it was caused by an citrus allergy--but when I hear a parent say that's what caused their child's autism, I believe them. A parent knows. The medical community wasn't there when it happen, so how could they know better than the parent? And maybe it's only the cause in 5% of cases, but that doesn't mean the parents who experienced it deserve to be treated like they don't know what they're talking about. I can also tell you that when I put my son on a gluten-casein free diet, he answered a question without prompting for the first time in about six months. Is my son cured? No. But I have hope for him, and I don't care how many times the medical community says these things don't work: I refuse to give up hope.



The book goes into this diet and other treatments, and it does it in a friendly, chatty, funny, and easy to absorb format. It's probably not the best book on these treatments on the market, but it is a book parents can read, understand and use. It offers a choice of suggestions without making any promises. Sometimes these treatments work, and sometimes they don't. Every child is different--but every child deserves a chance.



There is hope for children with autism. Maybe only 5% of children will get better because their parents read this book (from my experience, I think it's much more than that), but that's 5% better that the autistic children of parents who didn't even try because doctors told them nothing works. If you find yourself in that situation, read this book. There are other doctors out there, ones like Dr. Kartzinel. You and your child deserve a doctor who will listen to you and offer you hope. Don't give up until you find it.

 "Approach with an open mind" 2010-01-31
By Kim L (Charlottesville, VA United States)
As a new parent who knows several people with children who are on the spectrum, I was eager to read this book to see if there was indeed some way to prevent autism. While I found the authors' personal stories regarding their own children very interesting, there was little in the way of hard-core science to back up the claims in the book with the most controversial being that vaccines may trigger autism in children with weak immune systems. (Indeed, the current studies say there is not a link between autism and vaccines.)



With that said, most of the diet and health advice probably couldn't hurt most children who are on the spectrum. Indeed, the diet advice may even help those who are not on the spectrum, but suffer from multiple allergies.



My biggest problem with this book is the anti-vaccine agenda. While McCartney states that she is not anti-vaccine and feels it is up to the parents to vaccine or not, Dr. Kartzinel is clear that he is anti-vaccine. He does not vaccine children in his practice and only recommends a single vaccine for parents who want to vaccinate their children. I truly wish there had been some space given to the pros of vaccination, but it is not to be found.



Still, there is no doubt that the authors truly are speaking from the heart and their goal is to help children and families who are dealing with autism. I just wish it wasn't so anti-vaccination.

 "awesome book" 2010-01-30
By TK (Illinois)
gave this as a gift to autistic family members parent and got a very favorable review from her. Very helpful info.

 "If your child is not developing as expected... READ THIS BOOK!" 2009-12-05
By Ava Piquett (Indiana)
This book is so informative and is really more broad reaching than just for autistic spectrum children. I think the advice on dietary and supplements and vitamins is also relavant for ADHD as well as other developmental delays. As the caregiver and one who loves your child the most --- DO NOT RELY on DRS -- educate yourself!! You will not regret it! God Bless! God Bless Ms. McCarthy for all she has done and is sharing with the rest of us who do not have limitless funds.

 "hucksterism" 2009-11-26
By Mike (CA)
Autism, the authors believe, can be cured via dietary supplements of vitamin, minerals and enzymes that they just happen to sell and are heavily marketed and promoted throughout the book.



The book is written in a mock conversational style between the authors, where the author "Jenny" often refers to her "celebrity status" --- what that has to do with the topic of the book I don't know.



As the parent of an autistic child, I think this book is very dangerous. What makes it so dangerous is that it mixes scientifically based information with half-baked ideas or nonsense based on anecdotal evidence, thus implying they have equivalent credibility.



Autism is a complex disorder that probably has multiple causes and is a brain dysfunction. The brain is a complex organ that is both highly sensitive and adaptive. So many of the "cures" may be the result the bodies own ability to heal/adapt itself, much like the spontaneous remission that cancer patients sometimes experience.

 "Easy book to follow - it's helping our family!" 2010-02-08
By Suzanne K.
When my son was 2 years old, he was diagnosed with autism. There is no history of autism in our families. I had seen Jenny McCarthy on some talk shows and I thought, "I don't have to worry about this..." boy was I wrong! I started reading more about autistic behaviors and then accepted the fact that he is autistic. I do feel that there are different forms of autism but I am convinced that my son has medical issues that can be treated. He is responding to many of the treatments in the book and I am grateful for this resource. This is by far the easiest guide for parents that I found. We have recently started seeing a specialist (Medical Doctor). Because of this book, I felt like I had a grasp of biomedical treatments. It is the "cliff note" guide to the more complicated books. Our son is not "cured" but in about 6 months of implementing ideas in this book (probiotic, cod liver oil, supplements), my son is healthier and happier than he ever has been. He kisses me all of the time and his sounds are coming slowly but surely.



The following is an excerpt from an e-mail I wrote to a woman who I just met through facebook. Her son (9 years old) recovered through similar nutritional and supplemental changes. I am adding this message for all of those parents who may have a similar story and need hope:



"My son is Alex. He is about 2 1/2 years old. He had a traumatic birth - severely bruised head, nerve compression in the left shoulder, fracture in the lower left arm. It was so scary! He was stuck - 10 lbs 6 oz. huge! Anyway, he was always pretty irritable/difficult. He started saying words early and a lot of babbling like he was talking. He was saying a couple of two word combinations at 8 months. We thought he would be an early talker. I can't remember exactly when he started having severe eczema but it was head to toe and horrible. We couldn't take him out of our house without him screaming with discomfort. He stopped talking around 10 months and was only saying "da da" - he lost all other sounds.



We already were very careful about new foods - but at 18 months we removed wheat and dairy from his diet. He was still nursing at that point because his diet was so limited - so when I removed dairy from my diet his skin almost completely cleared up. I remember that my life got easier at that point and actually thinking, "It's like I have a different kid." He was able to enjoy life a lot more and interact more.



He started speech therapy at 18 months and was not responding to it. He was assessed by a group of developmental specialists at 2 years and they were mixed opinions for an autism diagnosis. He was assessed at a 9-14 month level of communication.



We started educating ourselves about autism (thank God for Jenny McCarthy because she gave me a place to start). After reading about other children, I was convinced that he was autistic. We added cod liver oil, multi-vitamin, calcium, and removed corn and soy from Alex's diet at about 24-25 months. At that point, he improved with every "biomedical" thing that we implemented. His mood was definitely improving.



At 25 months, we started a probiotic, added Vitamin D-3, and added oregano to his diet to control yeast. His eye contact and chewing improved.



At 26 months, he started occupational therapy. We had an appointment with our autism specialist (he was on the DAN! doctor list), Dr. Green. I researched him on the internet and he seemed REALLY qualified. I feel so lucky that we found him - apparently he has treated over 2000 autistic patients. He's been doing this for a long time and we can tell!



We changed the probiotics, vitamins and supplements to Dr. Green's preferences (mainly stronger). We added Methyl B-12 shots every 3 days and we saw immediate improvements. Then we recently added a supplement called "Zen" - which helped him calm down a bit for sleeping. He also was low on Vitamin D so we increased that.



We are about a week into taking the antifungal - I am taking it too. It seems to be really helping. He's jabbering more and he seems to actually understand a lot more of what's going on. I do notice some "die-off reactions" though. Yesterday, I had him in his crib for a nap and he took his diaper off and really made a mess. It was so gross. He used to do that EVERY DAY! He would refuse to have a bowl movement until he was in his crib and then he would immediately take his diaper off. I would be so angry - clean up was horrible because he would not follow directions. Yesterday wasn't so bad. I cleaned him up and he actually listened to me! I told him not to touch things and he didn't; he didn't fight me. That has never happened. It was amazing! I hope that story wasn't too disgusting for you. I don't usually share that with anyone."



Again - I added that excerpt for all of the parents who may need hope. Also, don't feel like "biomedical" means something scary. I USED to feel that way - because I didn't understand what it meant. I now find it sad that our society seems more accepting of people using drugs like Risperidone or Ritalin instead of trying to resolve the issues through diet and supplementation. I don't want my child to need a drug to feel better. So far so good!

By Ava Piquett (Indiana)
This book is so informative and is really more broad reaching than just for autistic spectrum children. I think the advice on dietary and supplements and vitamins is also relavant for ADHD as well as other developmental delays. As the caregiver and one who loves your child the most --- DO NOT RELY on DRS -- educate yourself!! You will not regret it! God Bless! God Bless Ms. McCarthy for all she has done and is sharing with the rest of us who do not have limitless funds.

Jenny McCarthy’s hilarious, no-holds-barred personality has made her an instantly recognizable TV personality and a bestselling author. In Baby Laughs she examines the full range of challenges that new mothers face, including:

• The humiliations of postnatal "numbing spray," Tucks medicated pads, and adult diapers; jelly belly, balding, and gum disease; and becoming a "five-foot puke rag" for the baby
• Heart-stopping terrors, such as baby manicures, breathing checks, and burp failures
• Inadequacies, such as lullaby illiteracy and the need for a "heavy rotation" of toys, videos, and mobiles
• Daddy antics, such as infant wrestling, home-movie mania, sleeping like a log, and expecting sex
• Dueling grandmas, germ-ridden guests, Olympic-class competitive mommies, anorexic pets— and much more.

Mothers and fathers will find much-needed relief and insight in this sometimes touching, sometimes gritty, but always perceptive and outrageously funny account of what it truly means to have your very own small bundle of joy.

 "Great Book" 2009-09-30
By M. Odom (Port St Lucie, FL)
This book scared me slightly since I am still pregnant but was extremely entertaining. I am happy that she can tell it like it is so that new mothers will know what to expect.

 "You just gotta love Jenny!" 2009-09-04
By K. Farone
Her series of the 3 "Laughs" are a must have for anyone, even if you aren't pregnant and don't have kids. I'll pick up one of Jenny's book any day!

 "Funny and helpful" 2009-08-16
By PollyWannaBook
My sister just made me an aunt so I wanted to be ready for all the

changes that would happen to both the baby and her.

My sister loved the funny insight from Jenny McCarthy's earlier book

on pregnancy called 'Belly Laughs' that I wanted to know what she had

to say about the part I could actually help with: the baby part.



This book was laugh out loud funny in parts and extremely informative

throughout. I felt like I was chatting with one of my best

girlfriends. If you just had a baby or a baby just came into your

life, spend a couple fun hours with Jenny McCarthy :)

 "Another great read from Jen M!" 2009-06-30
By Heidi Dexter (Sunny Florida)
After reading Belly Laughs, I had to buy this one. It's like what happens once the baby comes home. A lot of pooping, apparently! But it's also about adjusting and doing things for the baby and staying up at all hours of the night--basically the trails and tribulations of a new parent. I liked the book, thought it was funny and would defintely recommend it, along with her other book, Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Childbirth.

 "Must-have book for any mom or mom-to-be!" 2009-06-28
By Erin Clark (Boise, ID USA)
I read Jenny's first book, Belly Laughs and LOVED it. This one is even more hilarious! I have given both books to friends as gifts when they found out they were expecting. I haven't talked to one person who didn't love this book as well as all of Jenny's others. She's honest and humorous at the same time!

The acclaimed national bestseller-a no-holds-barred account of what you can really expect when you're expecting

Oh, the joys of pregnancy! There's the gassiness, constipation, queasiness, and exhaustion, the forgetfulness, crankiness, and the constant worry. Of course, no woman is spared the discomforts and humiliations of pregnancy, but most are too polite to complain or too embarrassed to talk about them. Not Jenny McCarthy!

In the New York Times best-selling Belly Laughs, actress and new mother Jenny McCarthy reveals the naked truth about the tremendous joys, the excruciating pains, and the unseemly disfigurement that go along with pregnancy. Never shy, frequently crude, and always laugh-out-loud funny, McCarthy covers it all in the grittiest of girlfriend detail. From morning sickness and hormonal rage, to hemorrhoids, pregnant sex, and the torture and sweet relief that is delivery, Belly Laughs is must-read comic relief for anyone who is pregnant, who has ever been pregnant, is trying to get pregnant, or indeed, has ever been born!

 "Hilarious" 2010-02-17
By Rebekah L. Fritzler (Omaha)
I thought this book was hilarious! Jenny McCarthy does a great job of discussing all of the "unmentionable" pregnancy topics and kept me laughing throughout the book. It is easy and fun to read and a nice break from the more mundane pregnancy books out there.

 "Easy and Fun To Read!" 2010-02-15
By BecEG (Reno, NV)
Its so good to have a fun and entertaining book to read amidst all the serious boring medical pregnancy books. Jenny McCarthy made me feel fortunate as she had every horrible pregnancy symptom possible. So I expected the worst and when my symptoms came up I felt I had it way easier than others. Jenny's descriptions of her pregnancy is hilarious.

 "a good laugh" 2010-02-10
By R. Maune
I thought this book was quite entertaining. I plan to pass along my copy or buy one for any pregnant friend! It puts a comic spin on what I've been going through (and shows that it could be worse). I even got my husband to read it! Some parts made him laugh so hard he cried. I think he has a whole new respect for his pregnant wife! I would recommend this book to just about anyone with a sense of humor.

 "No word spared" 2010-02-06
By Mandi Girl (Chicago, IL)
My wife (yes, I am Mandi Girl's husband) bought this books upon her friend's recommendation and I read it too. Jenny McCarthy did not spare any word in her book. I WISH I read it within the first couple months of my wife's pregnancy. You will be amazed how very little details can be very helpful to understand what your wife really needs in terms of help during those times. Also, it will save you some confusion. Instead of trying to find out what is happening with her, physically and emotionally, you'll most probably know it beforehand. Very useful. I recommend to both couples.

 "Wonderful read" 2010-02-02
By Lisa Brand
This book is a wonderful read for first time pregnancy, women thinking about getting pregnant- or any woman that has been pregnant- Really a pleasure to read
