Babies in Waiting
by Rosie Fiore (Quercus) ISBN 978-0-85738-958-9
This is a tale of three women’s pregnancies. Their backgrounds are different, as are their feelings about pregnancy, but three women: Louise, Toni and Gemma share one goal – surviving the emotional and physical rollercoaster of pregnancy and births of their first children.
The Internet forum on motherhood brings them together, but one woman’s secret almost rips them apart. It takes courage for the women to share their stories, hopes and fears – especially when they are overwhelmed with their own situations.
All is not as it seems. The happily married couple may not have the easiest home to bring a baby into. The single teenaged mother may have planned her pregnancy. And the older woman seems to handle the “mistake” too well.
This book is for women who have experienced pregnancy or those who wish to in the future. This is a heart-warming read, and I enjoyed sharing the women’s experiences and emotions with them.
