The Baby Void is a beautifully wrought story of heartache and redemption. It is an important book that cuts to the heart of what until now has largely been a silent struggle.Judith Uyterlinde, the author, speaks in the universal language of desire and love that only a mother knows. Pregnancy is a natural and wonderful part of being a woman but things don't always go to plan. The joy Judith feels when she becomes pregnant, however, dies with the twins inside her, and she embarks on a heart-wrenching quest to be a mother.
The Baby Void is a frank account of one woman’s desire for children, entangled in her desire to live life to the full. It reveals the frustration of longing for a child when women all around are conceiving effortlessly. In a direct and down-to-earth way, Uyterlinde exposes the inner struggle of longing and anger, determination and doubt, love and envy, which accompanies her on the IVF roller-coaster
