Synopsis

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.

Written by Black Moms Blog founder, Shanicia Boswell, Oh Sis, You're Pregnant! manages to tackle some hard topics in a way that truly resonate with modern Black moms. With stories from her experiences through pregnancy, labor, delivery, and motherhood, and lessons learned as a mother at twenty-two, Oh Sis, You're Pregnant! focuses on the common knowledge Black pregnant mothers should consider when having their first baby. It also shares topics beneficial to pregnant women on their second, third, or fourth born.

If you enjoyed books like The Brown Mama Mindset, Mama Glow, The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy, or Cat and Nat's Mom Truths, then you'll love Oh Sis, You're Pregnant!
