Pregnancy is not a holiday, but an ordeal with a daily set of "pleasantries" such as insomnia, rashes and constant trips to the toilet. The author ironically explores myths about motherhood, Google queries and absurd expectations, reminding us that childbirth is not only painful, but also a strange combination of horror and wonder. In the end, it seems that being a mom is not so much about love as about endurance and the ability not to lose your mind, even if everyone around you advises you to "enjoy the moment".
