Book description
You've enjoyed many a happy hour - now prepare yourself for nappy hour!
Now living in Melbourne, Isabelle and Dr Jack are expecting their first
child. And, naturally, Isabelle is the very model of a calm Earth
Mother-to-be. . . Or she would be if she wasn't consumed with anxiety
about finding her pelvic floor, giving birth to a human-eel hybrid or
the horrifying prospect of having a child named Leroy Marvin. Even
worse, as Isabelle's tummy grows, so too does the distance between her
and her adored Dr Jack who, it seems, has quite different priorities. .
. But with support from a host of new mothers including her friend Fran
and her sister Audrey, as well as her fellow gallerina Doug, 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. Melanie La'Brooy is the author of the bestselling novels Love
Struck, The Wish List and Serendipity, published in Australia. Although
she wrote Babymoon shortly after the birth of her first child, she would
like to make it clear that this book is fiction, as the thought of
making love while dressed in a Carlton football jumper makes her feel
ill.
