First Year of Motherhood Survival Guide for New Moms

The Book That Spilled the Mom Tea (and Made Me Laugh Through the Chaos)

Let’s be real: motherhood is beautiful, magical… and also totally bananas. If you’re pregnant, freshly postpartum, or just deep in the diaper trenches wondering “Is this normal?” — I have the book for you.

It’s called The Girlfriends’ Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood, and oh mama, it is a life-saver. Like, put-it-in-your-hospital-bag level of essential.


Why You’ll Love It (and Probably Highlight Every Page)

In fact, this book is like your brutally honest as well as your hilarious best friend who’s been through it all — and even better, she’s not afraid to dish on the not-so-glamorous stuff (hello mesh underwear, leaky boobs, and emotional meltdowns over literally nothing).

  • Realistic
  • Hysterical
  • Zero judgment
  • Comforting like a giant mom-hug

If you’re searching for a funny parenting book that doesn’t make you feel like a failure for wearing the same yoga pants five days in a row — this is it. From waddling into labor, rocking through cluster feeds, or Googling “is it normal to cry over spilled milk?” — this book will keep you company. Most importantly, it’ll remind you: you’re not losing it. You’re just a new mom.

It covers everything from what your body really feels like after birth (spoiler: not great) to how to handle unsolicited advice from that one aunt who swears by whiskey on the gums. It’s part survival guide, part therapy session, and part stand-up comedy.

If you need a good laugh, a dose of reality, or just someone to say “same,” this book is it. Read it now, during late-night feeds, or while timing contractions. You’ll feel seen, understood, and a whole lot more human.

With love (and a spit-up stained shirt),
