With my first pregnancy, I was definitely a faithful reader of "What to Expect When You're Expecting". I followed each month, the pages were dog-eared from my researching, and many pages had highlights on them. I never actually wrote a birthing plan or anything like that, but I did have it set in my head how I wanted it to go. Four hours into HARD labor, I started crying and saying I just couldn't do it anymore. Soon after, I was told we would be having a c-section. I immediatly thought they said that because of me and so I started crying that I was sorry and I didn't mean it and I really could do it. But it wasn't to be. That first birth was DEFINITELY not what I expected......though it was discussed in the book.
It was also portrayed in the movie in a MUCH more hilarious manner. I got the opportunity to see a sneak peak of "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and it was actually better than I thought it would be. I loved every second of it. Each scenario was so true, if not to me than to someone that I know. I laughed and I even cried. I didn't want the movie to end.
The movie pulled you in and made you feel like you were a part of each of the different pregnancies, though some more than other. You loved the characters, you hated them, but you definitely were rooting for them. The dads in the movie were hilarious. And pretty much every moment was realistic.
Whether you have had kids, are pregnant, or are trying to get pregnant, this is a must see for every woman! And I think that your men will enjoy it just as much. Perfect date movie for the expecting couple, the been there done-thats, and the girls who have helped you through it.
