About the Book

You: Independent, modern city gal who surprises herself by falling in love and getting married. And one morning, you wake up and you're pregnant.

As you try to settle into a life you still like to call "someone else's movie," you're looking for some friends—and many answers—now! Resourceful, you turn to the web for the former—and find the latter, in the Mommymay list—a virtual clubhouse of other women, all due the same month as you.

Step through your very own e-looking glass and meet your 60 or so commadres who paint a dynamic, diverse, and sometimes dissonant portrait of what it is to be a mom-to-be today. Some of these women you'll like, some you'll love, some you won't be able to stand—but they're there anyway, your community, your circle of friends, sage guides and oftentimes, enigmatic chatterboxes. There's no shortage of wit, wackiness and new wives' tales as you all hurtle through this exciting, curious, baffling and altogether wondrous journey towards motherhood. The old cliché is true: your life will be forever changed.
