WELCOME! You are most likely about to embark
on the greatest journey known to womankind — pregnancy and
motherhood. It is an odyssey so exhilarating in its exhaustiveness,
so powerfully awe-inspiring and humbling, so life transforming,
you'll need more than a few sister friends along the way
to make it through. Help has arrived with The Mocha Manual
to a Fabulous Pregnancy!
|
Enduring forty weeks of pregnancy, with all its grisly
details—cravings, uncontrollable flatulence, violent mood
swings—along with its joyous moments of anticipation and
optimism is more than even the staunchest self-proclaimed
super woman can handle alone—yes, even you with the shiny
boots and the red cape blowing in the wind.
|
|
That’s where The Mocha
Manual to a Fabulous Pregnancy comes in. It is the first in a series of books
designed to help black women successfully navigate maternity
and beyond.

ABOUT THE MOCHA MANUAL
Pregnancy is about doing your personal best to bring a healthy baby into
the world. Black women have unique issues that make balancing our
careers, health, sense of style, stressful lives, and financial concerns
even more challenging. Throw it all together and you have a group
of sisters in need of some serious support.
|
The Mocha Manual is the black woman's "everything" guide
to pregnancy and like The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy
and What To Expect When You're Expecting, we anticipate that
women everywhere will look to it for advice and share with
one another in the years to come.
