Perfect. There’s so many long factual statistical and informative pregnancy books out there. The sarcasm and humor in this one was a nice change of pace and I definitely related to. Reading a book from a perspective of someone who also went through fertility treatments and tests to try for pregnancy was so refreshing and real.
I will insert a TW here for miscarriage as it could be difficult for those who have experienced a miscarriage before. If you are still grieving a MC I would skip that chapter. It has been almost 10 years since mine, so while it reopened some old wounds, it was tolerable. However this chapter is still extremely important and should be discussed/normalized more.
Overall a fun quick read. I finished it in about 4 hours total cover to cover.
