BE HAPPY OR I"LL SCREAM is for every married woman who has found just the tiniest bit of disconnect between the image of a perfect family in her head--think "The Brady Bunch" or "The Huxtables"--and the evidence in front of her eyes. Instead of darling and compliant rosy-cheeked children and an adorably tolerant husband ready to go along with zany shenanigans, most women are faced with: kids who view family outings with all the enthusiasm of hardened inmates forced to bust rocks in roadside Alabama and a man who would trade every last one of her kooky ideas for a just a teeny little bit more sex and a hot meal on the table at six.
Sheri Lynch is a superb humorist of modern marriage, mores, and motherhood. Her take on what life is "really" like inside a marriage--as opposed to what it looks like on the holiday card version of same--will ring both wacky and true to any woman who was ever foolish enough to dream of the perfect marriage and family.

Hilarious and true and inspirational, "Hello, My Name is Mommy "is for every pregnant woman and new mother who ever felt helpless and out of control instead of confident and aglow.
Sure, women know pregnancy is no bed of roses, but Lynch taps into her own dysfunctional childhood and fears about becoming a mom to label a much profounder worry many moms-to-be have: that their own pasts were so screwed up that they're doomed to repeat the cycle. Dr. Spock may tell moms to trust their instincts, but Lynch's Misfit Mommies want to do every last thing but that. They feel like frauds and imposters, and Lynch's real-girl's voice will be instantly recognizable to them. Lynch will walk and talk new moms through it all: from lamenting the hot dogs and second-hand smoke they were raised on (and, of course, "you turned out just fine") to the realization that kids are kind of germy and gross (but feeling that way doesn't make one a bad mother) to keeping it together at work with Cheerios in the old nursing bra.

Various conservative surgical procedures have been developed in recent years to reduce the need for hysterectomy, including external compression sutures, selective de-vascularization by surgical ligation or radiological embolization of the uterine and pelvic arteries and intrauterine balloon tamponade.
