The fourth book in Dawn Dais' popular Sh t No One Tells You series covers all the indignities a woman must endure once sperm meets egg.

The Sh t No One Tells You about Pregnancy is quite possibly the funniest yet of Dawn Dais' series. Covering all the undignified realities of pregnancy, Dawn shepherds the reader through the entire nine months, beginning with the various curse words a woman may utter when she sees the positive symbol on the pregnancy test to the evolution of her body as the host of an embryonic parasite.

Dawn combines wisdom and whip-smart humor to assure mothers-to-be that the gestation period may be wrought with nausea, nosy advice-givers, and nonsense like no booze for nine months, but in the end, it's all worth it. After all, miracles are never easy, and making a baby is definitely a miracle-or a cruel joke on womanhood.

Dawn Dais is a freelance writer, designer, and filmmaker. Her two previous books, The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women and The Noncyclist's Guide to the Century and Other Road Races have topped Amazon.com bestseller lists and have been featured by countless television and print media sources.
