Synopsis
'I feel blessed that I have been able to bear children, but I'll be honest with you: I'm no earth mother. I did not spend my pregnancy pottering about in a kaftan with an ecstatic expression on my face. I suffer from terrible morning (noon and night) sickness, I get acne, I get quite depressed, and rather large. I would've killed for a book that gave me, the mum, some survival strategies for looking and feeling good about myself during pregnancy and in the first few weeks of being a mother, but I found they were all about my and the baby's health. So I had to work out my own plan to feel happy, healthy and gorgeous. And here it is!' - Mel Sykes. "Blooming Beautiful" is divided into two sections, Big and Beautiful and Yummy Mummies. In each part Melanie and Hilary give fantastic advice on looking good, fitness and vitality, healthy eating and understanding emotions. Interweaved with Melanie's sometimes hilarious, sometimes incredibly touching observations from her own pregnancy, this is the guide mums-to-be have all been hoping for.

From simply finding the right bra, to changing your shampoo, to being prepared for the whirlwind of hormone-induced emotions, "Blooming Beautiful" is packed with all the information Miriam missed out!

Customer Reviews

Great Book!
I loved this book especially all the tips and beauty advice offered, so far they have all worked for me and I found they gave me a real confidence boost at a time when I wasn't always feeling great. It is well written laid out and an easy read and I would definitely recommend it for any mum to be.

Fantastic!
Absoultely couldn't put this book down - was a great read with some fantastic tips and advise. Roll on the sequel!!

WOW - Fantastic !
this is by far the best book and the most confidence giving book I have read since finding out I was pregnant 4 months ago... I read alot so since I have found out about my pregnancy I have had my nose in every type of baby book possible, but this one really is what it says it is, for the Mum to be ... Melanie Sykes draws on all her own experiences and ups and downs and shares them with you and advises you on how to make the best of the bad bits and enjoy the good bits. I really think she is a fantastic person for letting people into her own experiences and mind and if you try no other book try this one because it makes you feel good about YOU and gets you thinking about all the things you can try and keeps ya mind off of feeling horrible sometimes .... Thanks Melanie ...
