The obstetric information is interspersed with poetry and first-person stories and reveals McNish’s thoughts on topics such as having a baby in today’s Britain, gender, sex and “finding secret places to scream once in a while. Although this book does occasionally give over multiple pages to important stages such as the first- and 20-week scans, the format is generally a daily page with a little bit of information at a time.
