Summary
The honest, entertaining and brilliantly relatable Sunday Times bestseller.
Kate Lawler has never been maternal. And yet here she is: mother to Noa, after years of going back and forth about having children at all. This is the story of her journey from parentally undecided to early motherhood, via raging hormones, sleepless nights, emergency hospital trips, mum guilt, unspoken regrets and post-natal depression.
This book is not a parenting manual. It won't tell you what to pack in your hospital bag, or how to get your baby to sleep. It may not help you with feeding or dealing with tantrums. But it will show you that you're not alone—and that it's perfectly possible, and maybe even normal, to love your child with all of your heart while also feeling lost, alone and resentful.
Whether you're an expectant parent, a new parent, firmly in the thick of it or still parentally undecided, this book is for you, as Kate writes honestly and hilariously about the ups and downs of pregnancy, birth and early parenting, as well as the impact of a new baby on relationships, your sense of self and everything in between. It's a book that, with Kate's usual candour and wit, will help mums and dads everywhere feel seen—and completely understood.

Kate doesn’t sugar coat anything and makes the whole thing relatable.

Lovely book for expectant parents
This book shows just how difficult the first few months with a newborn is. Kate showed honesty and that it’s ok to get help. Really enjoyed this book.
