Growing Up Pregnant

OMG, I’m pregnant! What do I do now? Like most nineteen-year-olds, Deirdre Curley was thinking about boys, parties and independence. She was living in Glasgow, care-free and falling in love with her ideal guy. She didn’t expect to find herself staring at the pink line on an at-home pregnancy test. But suddenly there she was: definitely pregnant and wondering what on earth she should do next.

In this warm and witty memoir of falling in love and falling pregnant, between stories of heartache, growing up and taking the plunge into parenthood, you’ll find all the information and resources you need to help you at each stage of your pregnancy, to make sure you’re doing what’s best for you and your baby.

The trimester-by-trimester guide takes readers through Deirdre’s own experience and provides practical advice from a registered midwife about exactly what is happening to your body (and when), and what you should be doing to ensure you stay on the right track. With useful tips, such as how to break the news to friends and family, Growing up Pregnant is a must-have book for young mums exploring what it means to be pregnant when you feel like you still have growing up to do.
