Pregnant, Anything's possible... or almost. An off-beat, humorous, feminist investigation, written in the first person that analyses the myths and legends about pregnancy in the light of the Y Generation.
"I was becoming jealous of women who got pregnant. I ogled their round bellies with envy. I looked at them with a "new shoes" look. When I want a new pair, I begin scrutinizing the feet of every woman who walks by. If I see a pair I like, I ask her where she bought them. I started thinking I'll never get pregnant. I imagined asking: "Excuse me miss, I just love your baby bump. Can you please tell me where you got it?"
When Ren e Greusard, thirty-something journalist, became pregnant, she was surprised by the mountain of recommendations received from all sides, many of which were not the easiest to accept. Can you really not drink even a drop of alcohol? Is it that dangerous to eat cheese made from unpasteurized milk? She set out to write a light-hearted but serious book to attempt an answer to these and so many other, often taboo, questions.
PREGNANT, ANTHING'S POSSIBLE, is also a story of her generation, the "Y Generation". A generation that doesn't know how to wait, that wants everything at once and right away. A generation that goes hunting for information in the vast forests of the internet and staggers under the amount of contradiction it finds. Through meetings with doctors, researchers and women, she wanted to prove why, even pregnant, women can retain power over their bodies.
