30-Something And The Clock Is Ticking: What Happens When You Can No Longer Ignore The Baby Issue

30-Something And The Clock Is Ticking: What Happens When You Can No Longer Ignore The Baby Issue

Synopsis

Incorporating different women's perspectives and advice from experts, this witty, honest, confessional memoir addresses the subjects of whether or not to have a baby, and trying to conceive   When Kasey Edwards discovers she'll be infertile within a year, she is forced to bring the baby issue to the forefront of her mind. Here, she explores what having a child would mean to her identity, her career, her body, her relationships, and her mental health. She speaks to people who have children and people who don't, women who claim motherhood is the best thing they've ever done and those who say it's the worst. She discovers how the desire for a baby can drive people to the brink of insanity, the logistical challenges of ovulating and trying to conceive on a longhaul flight, the indignity and despair of IVF, and the price of buying sperm on the internet. This witty memoir will make readers laugh, cry, and ponder the joys and regrets of motherhood. It will also inspire readers to tackle the baby issue head-on and on their own terms, rather than letting time, denial, and social pressures make the decision for them.
