Not only mothers were pregnant

Unheard perspectives on what is supposedly the most natural thing in the world

Nicht nur Mütter waren schwanger shares personally described experiences with pregnancy that are often ignored in society as a whole: it's about unfulfilled and lesbian desires to have children, about trans-male or age-atypical pregnancies, as well as about abortion and miscarriage, reproductive medicine, prenatal diagnostics and much more.

The anthology aims to soften the restrictive and pressure-filled view that pregnancy is the “most natural thing in the world” for the cis-heteronorm, but impossible for everyone else, and in the process develop alternative visions: for more openness and self-determination when dealing with the desire to have children, pregnancy and being a parent.
