And Now We Have Everything: On Motherhood Before I Was Ready

Meaghan O'Connell

3.91/5 (6046 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

And Now We Have Everything is O'Connell's exploration of transitioning into motherhood as a fledgling young adult. O'Connell addresses the pervasive imposter syndrome that comes with unplanned pregnancy, the second adolescence of a changing postpartum body, the problem of sex post-baby, the weird push to make "mom friends," and the fascinating strangeness of stepping into a new, not-yet-comfortable identity.

O'Connell brings us into the delivery room rendering childbirth in all its feverish gore and glory, and shattering the fantasies of a "magical" or "natural" experience that warp our expectations and erode maternal self-esteem.

And Now We Have Everything is an unflinchingly frank, funny, and intimate motherhood story for our times, about needing to have a baby in order to stop being one yourself.
