Primperfect (2016)
“Which you think is revolting, until you hear tell of the mucous plug that stops the waters breaking and is basically a plug. Made of mucous. The human body is a mysterious and disgusting thing. Sorrel and me had to put the baby book under the sofa because we were both so creeped out. I don’t know what I’ll be like when I actually have a baby. But on the plus side, when the baby comes I will no longer be filled with amniotic sac and mucous plug. And placenta. Oh God, placenta! A placenta is basi...cally an extra liver you grow around your womb to nourish the baby. Well, not exactly a liver, because then it would be called an extra liver. But big and meaty and able to break down things like a liver. Sorrel says she read about people in America who eat it once it comes out because it is filled with nutrients. We can’t decide if this is more or less gross than the plug made of mucous. Probably more, but there’s something about the word ‘mucous’ that makes it worse. I think when the baby comes, I will probably love it right away because I will no longer be pregnant and full of disgusting miracles.MoreLess
