An honest non-fiction comic about pregnancy Lucy Knisley talks unadorned and honest about her own experiences with the desire to have children, pregnancy and childbirth. In doing so, she humorously links her personal experiences with historical and medical facts and clears up prejudices about pregnancy and female health. Lovingly and comprehensively enlightening Knisley tells with a loving eye and clear, impressive drawings of the beautiful sides of having children, but also courageously reports on taboo topics such as miscarriage, high-risk pregnancy and birth complications. Empathetic and informative, she captures the emotional ups and downs of this journey and makes it clear that pregnancy is much more than nine months of anticipation.
