What I Thought I Knew (English)

At age 44, playwright and theater performer Alice Eve Cohen had finally come to terms with her infertility when she found a lump in her stomach. Cohen feared it might be cancer, and a series of bizarre hypotheses from various doctors about the growth extended the diagnosis process and did nothing to quell her pessimism. By the time she found out that the lump was a baby, she was already in her sixth month, leaving her almost no time to decide whether to carry out what was by all accounts an extremely high-risk pregnancy, both for her and her child. Her compelling memoir analyzes her agonizing decision-making process and her traumatic experiences within the medical industry, both before and after her pregnancy. minimize
