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? Created 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 22, 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.

Supportive Book for Black Pregnant Moms!

I enjoyed that this book was written by a black woman for other black women. Given that it was less than a 7 hour long audiobook, I was able to listen to it in two days which was great!

Very Insightful

As a black woman going through her first pregnancy this was helpful however I cannot help but notice there is a lot of trauma in the story. As much as the author tried to empower the black maternity experience, it sounded very deeply traumatic. Obviously her story is helpful to other women who are going through similar situations as she had. I chose to pick what I liked and I did learn a lot so I'm thankful for this book.

The BEST book on pregnancy

I knew this book was going to be amazing. I feel so much more prepared to bring my 1st child into the world, this guide goes in-depth on so many topics relevant to mothers but specifically black mothers to be. I am go to buy the hard copy also to reference back to. Thank you for writing this book!

As a black woman, I’m so glad I found this!

I’m an expat living abroad in a predominantly white country, when I fell pregnant my immediate worry was where am I going to find a community to help me navigate this chapter. My mom passed away 8 years ago, there are questions I wish I could have asked her however I’m grateful to have a sister who has gone through the journey and although it wasn’t easier for her I’m reminded on the resilience and strength of the women in my family. This book was like having another black women sit me done and have a one on one with me about motherhood. It felt like I had someone who could answer all the burning questions I had plus guide me on topics I didn’t know. It was compiled so well and absolutely loved how the chapters flow into each other. It was the perfect balance between humour, education and sensitivity. I wish all my black sisters to read this book if you feel you don’t know where to start. It truly has been a comfort in my pregnancy.

Great read from start to finish.Oh Sis Amazing

such a helpful book as a black woman I've learned so much from this book.

Insightful and informative

I love how the book gives expert opinions, as well as personal experiences, and a modern outlook, on black pregnancy in America in all of its glory and gloom wow, also looking at cultural significances.  

Relatable

This book was relatable and easy to listen to. This author covers every aspect of becoming a mom. From the stages of pregnancy to different types of parents, to trials and tribulations. I would recommend this to any of my friends who are new mom 10/10.

Great information and personal

amazing book. gave me a perspective I didn't realize I would appreciate I absolutely love the information and the story that's woven into it

Loved this!!!

As a first time mom and woman of color, this book was EXACTLY what I needed to hear to ease my nerves and prepare for this new journey. My biggest takeaway was that I am NOT a single mother; instead, I am a single woman who is also a mother.

Relatable & informative

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I still learned a lot. Very good book. I might listen again after delivery
