Kate Lawler has never been maternal. And yet here she is: mother to Noa, after years of going back and forth about having children at all. This is the story of her journey from parentally undecided to early motherhood, via raging hormones, sleepless nights, emergency hospital trips, mum guilt, unspoken regrets and post-natal depression. This book is not a parenting manual. It won' t tell you what to pack in your hospital bag, or how to get your baby to sleep. It may not help you with feeding or dealing with tantrums. But it will show you that you' re not alone - and that it' s perfectly possible, and maybe even normal, to love your child with all of your heart while also feeling lost, alone and resentful. Whether you' re an expectant parent, a new parent, firmly in the thick of it, or still parentally undecided, this book is for you, as Kate writes honestly and hilariously about the ups and downs of pregnancy, birth and early parenting, as well as the impact of a new baby on relationships, your sense of self and everything in between. It' s a book that, with Kate' s usual candour and wit, will help mums and dads everywhere feel seen - and completely understood.
Presenter, podcaster and mother Kate Lawler shot to fame after winning the third series of Big Brother UK in 2002, making her the first ever female winner of the reality TV hit. Since then Kate has carved out a successful media career, as both a presenter and guest across a range of popular TV and radio shows. In 2016 she moved to Virgin Radio, where she has been hosting the drive-time show since 2019. In 2019 Kate and her partner Boj launched their award-winning and chart-topping podcast, Maybe Baby, to open up discussions around the decision to have children. With rave reviews and over 1 million listens to date, Maybe Baby has been praised for tackling a taboo subject in a relatable and entertaining way. A year later Kate and Boj decided to try for a baby and in February 2021 Kate gave birth to her first child, a daughter whose name is Noa. This is Kate' s first book.
