At Lit Hub, Yardenne Greenspan discusses the solace she found in parenting books during pregnancy:
Now that I was in this completely new and foreign scenario, my body doing things I never realized it knew how, my mind trying to keep up, my emotions all over the place, it made sense to seek out something direct and obvious: a pregnancy book. This is what pregnant women read—it’s part of our lore, and I would become familiar with it.
