Having a Baby – The Sh!t They Don’t Tell You in Books

by Lou Cox

18+

The journey to motherhood is fraught with the most painful and awkward moments for all women. This comedic and brutally honest one-woman show takes the audience on an emotional, and at times highly entertaining, rollercoaster. From morning sickness to hypnobirthing classes to labour, you won’t find this stuff in the pregnancy books! No holds barred; get ready for a whirlwind of witty anecdotes and graphic storytelling with an ending no mother could ever imagine.
