Summary A birthing guide to help Black mothers-to-be navigate everything from what's happening in the body to planning the birth announcement to postpartum care.
Oh Sis, You're Pregnant! is a book that mostly focuses on the common knowledge that mothers should consider when having their first baby but also shares topics that can be beneficial for moms on their second, third, or fourth baby -- such as VBAC's, how to plan financially for your impending birth, maintaining your relationship and friendships during motherhood, and how to self advocate for your rights in a world that can already view you as less than. Oh Sis, You're Pregnant focuses on Black Millennial motherhood, and ties in the age of social media and its effect on parenting; Oh Sis, You're Pregnant uses cultural references and jargon for relatability; Oh Sis, You're Pregnant doubles as a pregnancy and motherhood guide as well as tells the story of the author, Shanicia Boswell, to an audience that is already familiar with her background.
