Linea Nigra

By Jazmina Barrera & Christina MacSweeney
Linea Nigra by Jazmina Barrera & Christina MacSweeney digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Pregnancy is a fruit bowl. The apps tell you which fruit your fetus resembles each week as it grows. But none of the apps are written in Mexico, so they don’t take into account the wide variety of fruit we have here, the many different sizes of mangos and avocados. Alejandro says that Mexican mandarins are the same size as Chilean oranges and Chilean mandarins are the size of a Mexican lime. Plus, what I simply call a limón, he calls a limón de pica, and what he calls a limón, is for me a yellow lime.

A few days ago we went for an ultrasound scan and heard the heartbeat. The nurse said it was very strong. The fetus is the size of a blueberry, and a large part of its body is taken up by a strongly beating heart. It’s hard not to feel affection for a creature the size of a blueberry with a heart, a creature that is almost nothing except a strongly beating heart.

Thinking Face“No todas las mujeres quieren ser madres pero si todos venimos de una, si tienen curiosidad sobre la experiencia muy real y humana del proceso de convertirte en una, este libro es indispensable. Aún no soy mamá y me cautivó de sobremanera, me despertó la curiosidad y tengo una necesidad de preguntarle todo a mi mamá. Muy muy lindo.”
