Description

When Chitra Ramaswamy discovered she was pregnant, she longed for a book that went above and beyond a manual. A book that did more than simply describe what was happening in her growing body day by day, week by week, and month by month. A book that got to the heart of the bewildering, thrilling, and strange experience that is pregnancy.

Expecting takes the reader on an intimate physical and philosophical journey across the nine months of pregnancy and birth, paying tribute to writers, artists, places, and individual histories along the way.
