Publisher's summary

Infertility is a battle that women have been fighting for centuries, but the seemingly taboo subject is rarely discussed openly. In Having a Baby and Other Things I'm Bad At, Bailey Henry describes her journey with infertility, including four miscarriages, marriage, grief, love, and the chance she was never properly potty-trained. With raw honesty, heartbreak, and a bit of "potty" humor, Bailey discusses the trials of being pregnant but never having a baby. She masterfully brings women's issues to the foreground (where they belong).

If you've known the devastating loss of a child, or if your life simply hasn't turned out the way you thought it would, this one is for you.

Full of southern charm.

Bailey Henry shares her story of infertility. Whether you struggle with infertility or not you will thoroughly enjoy the lessons sweetly taught with southern charm. Be prepared to laugh, cry, but most importantly walk away with a better understanding of the toll people silently carry and how to support them.

My favorite emotions, laughter and tears, all in one book

I can feel every emotion as I have listened to this book on audible about five times now, I promise this time will not be my last. I also have a hard copy. Beautifully written for anyone who has experienced loss and grief of any kind. Keep the faith, Bailey! I can’t wait for your next book!

Raw, genuine and honest

I loved this book. Bailey spoke such honest truths and was able to articulate a lot feelings that I haven’t been able to. I’m so appreciative for books like this that keep it real and say how a lot of us are feeling about the hardships of life and conception. Well done.

Exactly what I needed to hear…

Less than a week after the loss of our precious baby girl, I felt like I was swimming in the middle of an ocean of grief. This book was the raft I needed to stay afloat. The perfect thing when you’re feeling alone and lost, this book feels like a friend sitting next to you and crying right along with you. It also is a great reminder that there is light even in the darkest places. Thank you for this beautifully and lovingly written book, Bailey. You helped me when I needed it the most.
