Synopsis

A Comedian Wrote A Book About Her Home Birth....And It Delivers!!!
It's Pre-Obamacare America, 2011, and Elisabeth Allyn has a lot going for her: a happy marriage, an enviable group of friends, and a creative professional life. But when Elisabeth wants to have a baby, Life says, “F**K YOU, ELISABETH! YOU DON'T QUALIFY FOR MATERNITY INSURANCE! IT WILL COST A SH*T-TON OF MONEY FOR YOU TO HAVE A BABY IN A HOSPITAL!!” So, she decides to have a midwife-assisted home birth. And no, that was not an option she had EVER considered before.
Join Elisabeth as she navigates bold new horizons filled with midwives, debates about placenta-eating, and, um, “orgasmic birth”, and writes about all of it in her outrageous comedic voice. A true story of the American healthcare system, this honest and hilarious memoir paints a heart-felt portrait of pregnancy and home birth from a woman who experienced it all....a REALLY funny woman. You'll laugh, cry, and maybe throw up in your mouth a little. If you're lucky, you'll do all three.
