Whether your pregnancy was an “oopsie” or stemmed from intricately charted ovulation cycles, you are most likely going to kick off the party with a home pregnancy test. Or ten. And there you’ll be, staring at a little stick and waiting for it to change your entire life. It’s positive! This is the beginning of your most important story.

But what do you do next? First: Freak out. Next...? Well, that's a different story. Dawn Dais, author of the series The Sh!t No One Tells You About, has compiled 102 tips and to-dos that will get you up to speed for the biggest changes of your life – from the practical (prepare freezer meals), to the serious (check your blood sugar), to the seemingly-frivolous-but-actually-really-important (go out with your husband or girlfriends to that restaurant you love).

102 Things to Do Before You Are Due is a practical and entertaining handbook that provides important advice for parents-to-be with eye-catching illustrations, checklists, actionable charts, and many laugh-out-loud tips. There are countless pregnancy books for first-time parents out there, but only 102 Things to Do Before You Are Due perfectly balances solid advice to prepare for a new baby and the right amount of humour to help you enjoy every month of the pregnancy.
