Hot Mamas: The Ultimate Guide to Staying Sexy Throughout Your Pregnancy and the Months Beyond

For this newly pregnant health educator, this was a nice, solid read on this topic. Paget does a good job establishing herself as a resource (including that she conducted an online survey of 100 or so couples) and she incorporates expert and interviewee (preggies and their male partners) comments really well throughout. Her info is solid and intelligent, but... I wasn't blown away by it. I found her tone a bit on the stuffy side, and even a bit of a downer in parts, e.g., she actually goes after "frumpy" preggies. Paget does ack. the downers that can come along w/ pregnancy and she doesn't always try to give advice that helps lovers to deal beyond decent fashion advice. In hoping for something that would live up to its title, my husband and I were a bit disappointed overall.

I highly recommend this book to any couple that is worried about how to get through pregnancy without losing a healthy sexual aspect to their relationship. Paget's book does a great job explaining how you can remain sexual during pregnancy and it gives good advice on how to reignite a sexual relationship after the baby's birth once you are new parents. Paget has a very conversational and easy-to-read writing style that gets across important sexual health information. This is a great book for clearing up any myths or misinformation you might have about sex and pregnancy. It does a great job detailing advice and tips on safe sexual techniques during each trimester of pregnancy. The diagrams are effective too.
