BE PREGNANT
An Illustrated Companion for Moms-to-Be
A humorous, relatable, and empathetic gift for expectant mothers. A charming and humorous read, peppered with informative diagrams and trivia, Be Pregnant is the perfect gift for expectant parents, their family and friends, baby-shower gift shoppers, sex educators and therapists, and anyone looking into pregnancy.
What To Expect When You're Expecting is so ubiquitous it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy: most pregnant women can't cross the threshold into motherhood without receiving a copy. And yet, this info-packed classic doesn't cover how invasive it is when strangers touch your belly; how pregnancy can make you simultaneously cry from indigestion and crave cake; or how easy it is to become obsessed with the amazon rankings of baby paraphernalia.
Be Pregnant offers an empathetic companion to pregnancy that conveys a counter message: no matter what you're told to expect, every pregnancy is different. There is no "normal" for this time period. Writer and illustrator Eugenia Viti offers personal stories, annotated diagrams, and peeks into other women's pregnancies that can serve as a guide and a comfort during this exciting and scary time in a woman's life. It's a book you would give to your friend - not as an incubation manual, but as reassurance when she's up late at night wondering if she can really do this.
Through vibrant illustrations, annotated diagrams, and first-hand accounts, BE PREGNANT is the perfect source of comfort for this exciting (and highly anticipatory!) time in a woman's life. As you'll see, Viti's charming mix of insider info and humor provide a much-needed laugh about things like strangers trying to touch your belly, feelings of inadequacy about stroller prices, and the all-powerful birth plan. With unique yet universal anecdotes, personal "Something That May Happen..." sections, and an inclusive illustration program welcoming all moms, BE PREGNANT is just what the doctor ordered for any expecting friend or baby shower.
Eugenia Viti is a writer, illustrator, comic artist, and cartoonist who lives in Chicago with her husband and baby. Eugenia worked in advertising before she left to pursue her creative interests. She is a regular contributor to The New Yorker; her comics and cartoons also appear in the American Bystander, The Nib, McSweeney's, Physics World Adbusters, and others.
