Written with lighthearted humor and cultural context, Oh Sis, You’re Pregnant! discusses the stages of pregnancy, labor, delivery, and Black motherhood as they pertain to pregnant Black women today.
Tailored to today’s pregnant Black woman. In the age of social media, how do pregnant women communicate their big announcement? What are the best protective hairstyles for labor? Most importantly, how many pregnancy guides focus on issues like Black maternal birth rates and what it really looks like to be Black, pregnant, and single today? Written for the modern pregnant Black woman, Oh Sis, You’re Pregnant! is the essential companion to understanding pregnancy from a millennial Black mom’s point of view.
This ultimate guide to black pregnancy will answer questions that no birth and motherhood books have answered before:
- How do I financially plan for my impending birth?
- How can I maintain my relationship and friendships during motherhood?
- How will I self-advocate for my rights in a world that already views me as less than?
Oh Sis, You’re Pregnant! manages to tackle some hard topics in a way that truly resonate with modern Black moms.
