Two Best Friends Make It through a Pregnancy, with All its Gut-Busting Hilarity and Gross Bits
Maternity isn't all sunshine and rainbows and natural glows. It's also elastic waistbands, hot flashes, and throbbing breasts! When Jillian Parsons's best friend forever, Allison Baerken, finds herself knocked up, both women are thrown into a nine-month roller coaster ride of emotions-even though only one of them is pregnant.
Say No to Placenta Pics is the ultimate BFF's uncensored, tell-all guide to the down and dirty of pregnancy for all badass moms-to-be (and their nonpregnant friends watching from the side lines) who desperately need a joke over the next nine months. Together, Allison and Jillian ride the learning curves from first trimester to after birth, rejecting standard pregnancy fluff in self-help books , exploring the issues about mother-to-be-hood no one else seems to have the guts to:
The anti-sex appeal of maternity negliges
Surviving the high school experience of online mommy groups
Resisting the urge to overshare on Facebook
Executing the right angles on a maternity photo shoot
Listening to yet another birth story from a stranger
Witty, tongue-in-cheek, and fearlessly relatable, Say No to Placenta Pics is the realest girl talk between two women who deliver a satirical breakdown of modern-day maternity and what it means to be, and not to be, a Mom.

"From baby names to avoid (so your little one won't get picked on) to mommy blog drama, Say No to Placenta Pics is a hilariously biting how-to, with some good (and honest) advice delivered in a fun and wickedly satirical way. You'll laugh so hard you may wet your pants . . . something you might as well get used to after labor, anyway."

"Witty and delightfully sarcastic. . . a charming and often laugh-out-loud read that can teach both the expectant and their non-pregnant friends how to have a sense of humor without either alienating the other in the process."
