Pre-partum Depression Rule #1: Never Wear an Empire-Waisted Dress to a Baby Shower
If you've been asked the question "When are you going to have a baby?" so many times that you feel as though your uterus is starring in a new reality TV show, this hilarious, insightful book is for you.
Carrie Friedman shares her daily struggles with what she calls her "pre-partum depression"—from baby lust to panic, and everything in between. Fending off the "dreaded question" from everyone, including her yoga teacher, and navigating the minefield of toddler birthday parties, as well as creating her own faux baby registry under an assumed name, Carrie Friedman captures the process of deciding to have a baby with humor and smarts.
If you're looking for refuge from prying questions, pet substitution, and the call of your biological clock, this book is a hilarious diversion."
--Adrianne Frost, I Hate Other People's Kids
"An absolute delight!"
