Before I read Belabored, I had no idea who Lyz Lenz was. By the end of the book, I am hoping we will one day cross paths and share a good laugh. Part political commentary, part medical history, part autobiography, Belabored discusses various aspects of pregnancy from conception to postpartum care. With a keen eye, Lenz hones in on various medical, social, and political "innovations" which greatly restrict pregnant women's rights and freedoms. Anything is game from vaginal secretions in pregnancy to a critique of Dr. Sims to Lenz's own upbringing in a conservative Christian household. Lenz's unique conversational, almost conspiratorial tone made it a far more enjoyable book than I would have expected. Definitely recommend!
