"Amy Gallo Ryan's You May Feel a Bit of Pressure is a gift to women-those going through fertility struggles as well as anyone who wants to understand more of the roller coaster that is womanhood. At times heart-wrenching, Ryan's story is also reassuring, and her soothing voice offers a lovely dose of hope in a world where female viewpoints and experience do not often get their deserved air time. Honesty prevails-as do the nitty gritty details we all wonder about-in this heroic call to empathy."-Sarah Hoover, bestselling author of The Motherload

"An unsparing, intimate and deeply honest account of infertility. For all the women out there who feel alone in their struggles-this book is your lifeline."-Jessica Zucker, PhD, author of Normalize it: Upending the Silence, Stigma, and Shame That Shape Women's Lives and I Had a Miscarriage: A Memoir, a Movement

"This raw, honest, beautifully written memoir centers around Ryan's singular pursuit of giving birth to a child, and how infertility-and the loss of trust in her body-upends her very beliefs about herself. You May Feel a Bit of Pressure is as sharply observed as it is moving, buoyed by humor and grace. It will stay with me for a very long time."-Rae Meadows, author of Winterland

"You May Feel a Bit of Pressure is a raw, rare window into the deep pain and endless hope of infertility, a brave and honest examination of the excruciating journey to motherhood and the love that endures it all."-Taylor Hahn, author of A Home for the Holidays
