Hi everyone,

I'm 7w today and am exhausted, spending a lot of time lying down feeling sick and reading. I was therefore looking to buy a book related to pregnancy- but not the "what to expect when you're expecting" type, perhaps a more feminist perspective on pregnancy and childbirth? Something a bit more snarky and "real", and less lovey-dovey? I'm having very little luck searching online... does anyone have any recommendations?

I bought the bump class on amazon -but was about £15. It goes through some of the pregnancy and childbirth and newborns and thought it was quite honest

French children don't throw food by Pamela Druckerman (I think)
It's a fun novel I read in my first pregnancy about parenting. A break from the norm.
