| Summary | Annotation What lengths would you go to to have a baby? Making Babies the Hard Way is a frank account of Caroline Gallup's discovery that her husband, Bruce, is infertile, and their ensuing struggle through four years of fertility treatment.One in six couples worldwide seek assistance to conceive and 80 per cent of couples undergoing fertility treatment are not successful - as in the case of Caroline and Bruce. Written with humour and honesty, the author describes the at times devastating social, emotional, spiritual and physical impact of infertility on her and her husband, including feelings of bereavement and inadequacy as well as financial pressure. She offers information and guidance for others who are infertile, or who are considering or already undergoing treatment. This courageous and poignant book will be of interest to couples who cannot conceive, those who are undergoing treatment and their families and friends |
