Summary: Martha is my hero!
Review: I stumbled accross Martha's column on MSN when I was pregnant - my daughter is 2 months younger than Lucy. Her stories were my pregnancy roadmap, my comic releif, and the pregnant best friend I didn't have! I loved reading them then, and I loved reading them in this book... I'm buying copies for everyone I know who is, planns to be, or is even thinking about becoming pregnant! READ THIS BOOK! :)

Summary: Just what the doctor (or midwife) ordered....
Review: If the hormonal swings of pregnancy are getting you down, a dose of Martha Brockenbrough could be just what the doctor (or midwife) ordered. It Could Happen to You: Diary of a Pregnancy and Beyond makes the perfect companion to some of the more serious pregnancy reference books - the kind that may be causing you to toss and turn at night. Brockenbrough has the gift of being about to see the humor in everything from morning sickness to labor to mother guilt - and, trust me, that really is a gift. A lot of mamas-to-be lose their sense of humor long before delivery day....

Summary: Refreshingly funny!
Review: In a world where boring advice books are a dime a dozen, "It Could Happen to You!" is a lovely reprieve. The author's hilarious perspective of in-the-trenches pregnancy and parenthood shows the real side of having a baby. Her witty and sometimes irreverent observations on this eye-opening stage of life provide endless laughs -- and sometimes tears. This book is a must-have for all new moms and those soon-to-be!

Summary: What you should REALLY expect!
Review: It did happen to me (well, my wife and me) and Martha does an excellent job of expressing the feelings and experiences that I went through while my wife was pregnant with our daughter. It's like she was there.While other pregnancy books treat pregnancy as an exercise in project management, Martha - and, in a few cameo sections, her husband, Adam - describe the human element of going through those 9 months. This book captures the fun, anxiety, amplified emotions and personal change that takes place during pregnancy. I'm fortunate to have spent time at work with Martha and Adam and I'm happy to say that these people are really as they are described in the book. They're nice, smart, funny and insightful - no embellishment is applied.

Summary: Thinking of getting pregnant? Buy this book.
Review: It's been more than four years since I've been pregnant, and yet, Martha's book brought it all back to me. "It Could Happen to You" is a sweet, funny book about pregnancy and the first year of motherhood. I laughed out loud when I read it. I recommend it for anyone thinking about getting pregnant. In fact, I sent a copy to a friend who had asked me "What is it really like?" I'll let Martha tell her.

Summary: Been there...Done that....Glad it's over...but......
Review: It's been over 17 years since I had to live through Martha's experiences but reading her book brought them all back. The good, the bad, the soiled. Now I watch my brother's and their wives go through babydom with their little ones. I gave both my sister-in-laws a copy of this book to let them know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. A WONDERFUL read. You don't need to be a mom or even with child to enjoy these sweet stories that ring with honesty and unconditional love. Buy it and enjoy then pass it on. Better yet, buy extra copies to give away because you will want to keep yours!

Summary: THIS WAS A WONDERFUL BOOK ON PREGNANCY/CHILDBIRTH/FIRST YEAR
Review: Look at the subject first then read on. How I came about her,her collum is I saw it on MSN homepage and started read it. I know I'm little too young for this, but I don't care because I learnt a lot from this book. I'm glad someone had the guts to do this (first the internet then a book). Also the father wrote too. I feel this is a special time in anyones life. I recommended: Dr. Miriam Stoppard books

Summary: I'm buying a copy for all my pregnant friends!
Review: Loved the column (I've read it when I was pregnant), love the book! Any future mom (or woman having second thoughts about motherhood) should read this book.
I cried, I laughed (my husband, my daughter and our pet looked at me suspiciously) I translated favourite parts to anyone who would listen..
Martha, please keep writing.
