Written in intimate, gleefully TMI prose, Knocking Myself Up is the irreverent account of Tea's route to parenthood—with a group of ride-or-die friends, a generous drag queen, and a whole lot of can-do pluck. Along the way, she falls in love with a wholesome genderqueer a decade her junior, attempts biohacking herself a baby with black market fertility meds (and magicking herself an offspring with witch-enchanted honey), learns her eggs are busted, and enters the Fertility Industrial Complex to carry her younger lover's baby.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the signature sharp wit and wild heart that have made her a favorite to so many readers, Tea guides us through the maze of medical procedures, frustrations, and astonishments on the path to getting pregnant, wryly critiquing some of the systems that facilitate that choice (“a great, punk, daredevil thing to do”). In Knocking Myself Up, Tea has crafted a deeply entertaining and profound memoir, a testament to the power of love and family-making, however complex our lives may be, to transform and enrich us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 232g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 134 x 203 x 20 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780063210639\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michelle Tea","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44594746097914,"sku":"9780063210639","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1696000759122_book.jpg?v=1696054510","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/knocking-myself-up-a-memoir-of-my-infertility-9780063210639","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
