    About this audiobook

    There are only three things in this world that are certain: death, taxes, and babies.

    Nobody knows this truth better than Emily McCoy, a third year resident working in Baby City, the affectionate nickname for the busy Labor and Delivery unit at a New York City hospital. On a typical day in Baby City, Emily delivers more babies than the number of hours of sleep she manages to squeeze in that night. And definitely more than the number of dates she's been on since she started her training in OB/GYN two years earlier.

    As Emily works tirelessly to safely herald baby after baby after baby (after baby) into the world, she becomes well acquainted with the three hard facts of Baby City:

    1. Babies never come when you want them to.
    2. Babies always come when you don't want them to.
    3. You don't know who your true friends are until your baby is sliding down the birth canal.

      I like the one part about how the male attending physician made a big error, but the staff is not supposed to say anything about it because I have seen this happen when I was in hospital for two years and it’s so wrong. Doctors nurses and Allied staff get away with killing or naming people with no consequence. I do not like the part where the protagonist Emily seemed pretty misogynist. She pictured a young teenage mother wearing a slutty skirt. Who uses the word slut anymore especially when there’s no male equivalent except maybe stud? It is anti-woman and it is wrong so she’s not really a progressive type. She’s also not very likable.

      Not for men for sure. Although I love the writer, this book was less enjoyable than many other of her novels for me. Tons of OB/GYN information, many characters, but a little to no plot.

      It had the opportunity to be so informative, but really it's just pretty judgmental and god forbid a birthing woman have a voice and desires for their own birthing experience! And the chances of all these scenarios is so rare, it just felt very fear mongering.
      There were also several comments about women that were very shaming, I was surprised to read the weight shaming/slut shaming /natural body comments. And comparing a black woman's pubic hair to a "jungle" followed by a string of jokes was simply gross and gave racist undertones.
      I'm not easily offended, so individual opinions could have been ignored, but collectively..I found this book distasteful and highly recommend anyone pregnant or wanting to be pregnant soon to consider not picking up this book.

      I made it 3/4 of the way through and DNF. I cannot. I've rolled my eyes so many times that they hurt, and I'm now on bed rest to recover. ALL of the characters were annoying and unlikeable, and the whiney voice for the med student sent my blood pressure through the rough. Steering clear of anything else I encounter that is in the least bit reminiscent of this book. Not a fan.

      I enjoyed a different type of story and appreciate the authors ability to tell it in addition to her typical psychological thrillers. The medical detail is interesting too.

      Never thought she could write something sweet with of course a hint of acid

      Not a typical Freida book but being a mother and going through so many of the things they talked about in this book made me love it even more.
