'9 Months In, 9 Months Out' is a month-to-month real-time account of pregnancy and first-time parenthood that integrates the science of infant and child development with the personal journey involved in becoming a parent. Expertise can explain the science of what's happening to a fetus or a baby throughout development, but all the science in the world can't tell you what it feels like to have a baby: the pang of morning sickness, the pain of labour, the excitement of birth, and the joy that comes from seeing your baby's first smile. This work is about pregnancy and first-time parenthood and what we experience in the 9 months of pregnancy and the 9 months that follow.
