The Art of Waiting: On Fertility, Medicine, and Motherhood by Belle Boggs
3.0
I turned to this book after a miscarriage and over a year of trying for a child with my husband. I think I was looking more for some inspiration on waiting. However, that is not what this book is about. It leans heavily on Boggs experience to get pregnant and while I appreciated deep dive into the different medical options and treatments, it just wasn’t what I was looking for.
The book was a hard read due to the research aspect (not my cup of tea). However, it was extremely informative on the options available to those looking to start a family. It also provided some interesting aspects into the American Culture of TTC and compared it to some animal cultures and cultures outside of the US. I would recommend this book as an informative on the options available to start a family and less on the notion that it will help you during the waiting period.
