Dear Future Mama: A TMI Guide to Pregnancy, Birth, and Motherhood from Your Bestie

Mother and Grammy Award–winning singer/songwriter Trainor says she’s been obsessed with motherhood from the time she “accidentally” witnessed her aunt giving birth when she was 12 years old. In this book, she gets expert insight from her fitness expert, dietitian, obstetrician-gynecologist, and her husband, actor Daryl Sabara. The book is centered around Trainor’s primary “mama rules,” which urge readers to avoid judging themselves or others, to trust their own decision-making abilities, and to give themselves credit for trying their best. Readers may appreciate Trainor’s brutally honest perspective on the timing of getting pregnant, her gestational diabetes, her changing body, her mental health, and even her sex life while trying to conceive. The author doesn’t shy away from exploring such topics as miscarriage, infertility, and postpartum depression. The book also includes advice from experts on how to navigate one’s own struggles and how to help a friend in need.
