When we talk about pregnancy, we too often end up talking clinically and sentimentally. Pregnancy is medical details and a whirl of emotions. It is vitamins and baby showers and feelings. But it is so much more. In Showing, Agnes Howard takes us beyond clinical reductionism and fluffy sentimentality to show us how to take pregnancy seriously as hard but important work. It is not just a bodily process, she argues, but an active work of care - one that underscores the generosity and mutual dependence we all require in order to live.

Motherhood is not for the faint of heart or the fond of sleeping. It’s unfiltered madness that’s simultaneously enlightening, exhausting, and affirming. The first five years, especially, are an emotional upheaval complete with stretch marks, and for mother of three Dionne Joyner-Weems, no parenting book in the world could have prepared her for the reality of raising three sons. In That Part!

A book sharing common, honest experiences of pregnancy, labour and the months after that aren't commonly shared! So many aspects of these phases aren't talked about despite most women experiencing them, so the author shares these details through her own personal stories, alongside a bit of "medicalish" reasoning behind why these things happen. The hope is to better prepare those embarking on this journey with a little entertainment and a laugh along the way.
