About this ebook

The real talk you want about pregnancy, birth, body image, and the newborn days from Meghan Trainor, the chart-topping singer-songwriter behind "All About That Bass" and "Dear Future Husband," and, more importantly, Riley's mom.

Meghan Trainor has wanted to be a mom since before she even knew how babies were made. From the moment she discovered she was pregnant with her first child--her son, Riley--she was fascinated by the entire experience.

Yes, pregnancy and motherhood are miracles--but even a miracle can freak you out sometimes. Everyone has an opinion on what an expectant mother should feel, think, or do during her pregnancy, and it's hard not to feel overwhelmed with app notifications, well-meaning questions, and unsolicited advice that comes from friends, family, and perfect strangers.

Dear Future Mama is a heartfelt and humorous guide for expectant mamas inspired by Meghan's own journey into motherhood and expert insights from Meghan's own personal trainer, registered dietitian, husband, and ob-gyn. No shame, no judgment--just straight talk (and laughs) from a bestie who's been there, including

  • a TMI guide to the good, bad, and WTF of conception, pregnancy, and childbirth
  • advice about everything from ovulation apps to random hair growth
  • Meghan's personal stories about body image, mental health, and navigating her career path as a new mother
  • permission to find the right path for you--ignoring the judgment of others and freeing yourself from the shifting standards of motherhood

Dear Future Mama offers future mamas a place to relax, laugh out loud, and get the pep talk they need to know that they are absolutely not alone.

A book that lives up to its title. Some sections read as a bit out of touch, but the author does mention that her experience is out of reach for a lot of people. Also I feel like I know a little too much about their sex life, but the book, from the first glimpse of the cover does say it's "from your bestie." And there were sections that came across as stronger than others in this regard. It can be difficult to find a book on pregnancy that is approachable, informative and does not scare you out of your mind. This book hits the middle ground on all the above. Will I read it again? No, I don't think so. Do I regret buying it? Not really, but I'm glad I went for a cheaper e-book over print. Will I recommend it? Maybe. It's not life changing, but it does give a taste of someone else in the trenches which can be comforting.
