All these secrets women keep. Actually, I can understand why; after you’ve given birth you feel as if your body’s been turned inside out and left hanging on the line for a week. If word got out what it was really like, no one would get pregnant ever again.

Turned inside out for a week huh? That seems to be an underestimate. But the book looks cool.

It did make me wonder if the author has children…

Yeah… but thank heavens I did (get pregnant again). The second one was definitely easier than the first or was it just that I didn’t have time to feel turned inside out??
