My book UNBEARABLE: Five Women and the Perils of Pregnancy in America comes out on October 28. It builds on my years of reporting on reproduction to weave together history, politics, and the staggering stories of five women.
I’ve spent the past three years reporting a book about how this country makes being pregnant harder than it should be. I wrote this because the conversation about what can be beautiful about pregnancy and parenting has felt dominated by the right.
