Nancy O'Dell Tells Us Why She's So 'Full Of Life'

Access Hollywood host Nancy O'Dell came by to talk about her new work of literature, entitled Full of Life: Mom-to-Mom Tips I Wish Someone Had Told Me When I Was Pregnant .

The idea for the book came to O'Dell while she was pregnant, and found herself wondering why no one, for instance, informed her of how red dots might appear on her chest in the third trimester or how her calves would swell too much for those cute new boots.

Now that her own little bundle has arrived, O'Dell shares candid observations and motherly advice that will help other expectant mothers prepare for all those spontaneous itches, emotions, skin changes, and cramps that, if one is not prepared, could lead to awkward and embarrassing scenarios. She also shares her mother's delicious spice cake recipe with prunes, for those constipated days. Full of Life is the perfect publication for expecting mothers who want to be prepared for every bump they might encounter during their pregnancy--from a mother who has been there herself.

Catch O'Dell on Access Hollywood weeknights on NBC. Full of Life: Mom-to-Mom Tips I Wish Someone Had Told Me When I Was Pregnant is in bookstores now.
