My Body is a Big Fat Temple by Alena Dillon
I don’t think I’ve ever read a more honest and realistic take on pregnancy and motherhood! Alena Dillon starts off reluctant on becoming a mother and we watch her experiences through pregnancy, birth and the 4th trimester that is keeping a newborn alive.
I did not enjoy pregnancy at all. I was so sick and each pregnancy got worse. So I did appreciate that this book did not sugar coat anything! I know some people have wonderful pregnancies and I will forever be jealous of them. But this book tells all about each horrible symptom all the way through beginning of pregnancy to birth. Every gory detail. This would be a great book to read before you have kids and was great to read after!
This book is full of humour and love, a great read for anyone interested in parenthood or anyone already in it. Alena Dillon had me laughing out loud and wishing I was back in that phase of my life, even though it was so freaking hard while I was in it.
