Melanie La'Brooy Knihy

The countdown to mummydom has started . . . IIsabelle Beckett and Jack Boyd are expecting their first child. And Isabelle is the very model of a calm Earth Mother-to-be. Or she would be if she wasn't consumed by anxiety about finding her pelvic floor, watching birthing videos or deciding upon an uber trendy or dreadfully practical pram. But with the support of a host of new mothers and friends all full of the worst possible advice, just maybe Isabelle can make it through pregnancy and childbirth with her dignity, her relationship and some more private bits intact. Then again, maybe not.

Five very different friends--Lucy, a hopeless romantic; Meg, an ambitious career girl; Chloe, a caring doormat; Tom, an avowed bachelor who is falling for Lucy; and prim and proper Percy--cope with the trials and tribulations of modern life and love. A first novel. Original.
