So she decided to write it herself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eAnd Now We Have Everything\u003c\/i\u003e is O'Connell's exploration of the cataclysmic, impossible-to-prepare-for experience of becoming a mother. With her dark humor and hair-trigger B.S. detector, O'Connell addresses the pervasive imposter syndrome that comes with unplanned pregnancy, the fantasies of a \"natural\" birth experience that erode maternal self-esteem, post-partum body and sex issues, and the fascinating strangeness of stepping into a new, not-yet-comfortable identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Channeling fears and anxieties that are still taboo and often unspoken, \u003ci\u003eAnd Now We Have Everything\u003c\/i\u003e is an unflinchingly frank, funny, and visceral motherhood story for our times, about having a baby and staying, for better or worse, exactly yourself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSmart, funny, and true in all the best ways, this book made me ache with recognition.\" -- Cheryl Strayed\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Back Bay Books","offers":[{"title":"And Now We Have Everything: On Motherhood Before I Was Ready | Meaghan O'Connell | Paperback | 9780316393850 | Used: Very Good | Family \u0026 Relationships 1703236","offer_id":50832246178050,"sku":"1703236","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61ysmg6-pZL.jpg?v=1792602500","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/and-now-we-have-everything-on-motherhood-before-i-was-ready","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
