Unter dem Herzen

There is absolutely nothing special when a baby is born.
Unless it's your own!
Stretch marks and spelt sticks, afterbirth and early delivery, competitive supermothers, milk congestion and career crunches, fear, happiness, doubt and parsnip mush everywhere!
"Under the Heart" is my diary from a strange world. Because the other day something monstrous happened to me: I've become a mother! And as a beginner in this field, you ask yourself: Does my newborn really have to learn a foreign language? Why is it screaming? Why isn't it screaming? Is it permissible to be bored with your own baby? What exactly is a good mother, where is that damn pelvic floor, and how resilient do you seem to superiors when you smell of baby puke? Nothing is the way it used to be. And at some point there's a candle on the cake. Someone says something like "Mom" and you think, "Wow, that's me!"

"Good-humored, self-deprecating and
very, very funny feel-good reading."
