A girl hás to try tó cling to somé sense of mystéry (especially when shés got baby vómit up her nosé). (Oh, dont ásk.).Wait a minuté, I hear yóu say, rather suspiciousIy, with narrowed éyes, pausing in yóur reach for anothér Tim Tam.Whats wrong with the first edition Did it tell women a baby was going to come out of their ear Nope, although I think I may have thought it would before I started my original research and writing for the first edition.Since it first appeared in 1999 Up the Duff has reprinted every year, and Ive always updated it with new medical info.
It should have a circle on it with this year in it if its older, it may have outdated or contain wrong medical info in it. Medical tests ánd advice on whát to eat havé changed a Iot, as has advicé on sleeping pósitions for both prégnant women and babiés.

For now, its all about pregnancy. Have at it. Love from PS One last thing: the Diary of Hermoine the Modern Girls pregnancy includes many aspects of my own experience, with a few stories from other people thrown in and the odd embellishment, but it is not quite my story.
