Description
"Your womb is of no use. If You don't get pregnant in the next six months, I will get my son married again. We can't wait any longer.'
This memoir by Nikita Naredi takes you on a journey that unravels the gory reality of being a woman without a child in a boy-harping society. For a fertility expert like Naredi, treating infertility doesn't just involve taking care of people's reproductive anatomy that does not function or pumping injections and hormones into the patient or fuse gametes in the laboratory but a complex mélange of uncomfortable conversations, altered relationships with partners and the families. It questions one's faith and belief system. Embark on this turbulent voyage of the interplay of biology, emotions and societal expectations with, Am I a Baby Vending Machine?
Childlessness is a shackle no woman wants to be bound to, as she is often made to believe that motherhood alone defines her womanhood. Through this collection of her experiences, Nikita has attempted to provide an honest glimpse into the lives of sub-fertile couples, which is often, if not always, riddled with self-doubt, low self-esteem, torment, travail and tribulations.
In this ode to her patients, Nikita has also laid bare her own agitation when a woman is exploited; despair when her best efforts to help them conceive fail; victory and joy when the woman conceives; and overall anguish at the social fabric that ignores the predicament of childless women.
