Notes on a Hospitalized Pregnant Woman (Unabridged‪)‬

In a work that beautifully demonstrates the rewards of detaching from the daily grind and connecting with yourself, Claudia Turner shares an inspiring and intimate story of her two months living in a Salt Lake City hospital, awaiting the birth of her first daughter Dakota. 

While preeclampsia, a pregnancy illness, keeps her bedridden, Turner contemplates everything from the history of childbirth to witchcraft, introversion, existentialism, Parisian parenting tricks, and her husband's struggles with alcoholism. As a result, she discovers the depth and turbulence of her own mind while kept in the confines of a single hospital room. 

Curious about the nurses, the janitors, and her own restless brain, Turner becomes an introspective and humorous observer, offering a thoughtful and honest glimpse into the curious life of a pregnant woman. 

Written by Claudia Turner, and narrated by Erin Rieman, Notes on a Hospitalized Pregnant Woman is a touching exploration of patience and perspective, showing us how a a break from the world can bring us more connected to it, while providing a closer look into what it means to be fully alive.
