Hannah Jacoby-Brook
I Guess I’ll Lactate… is my way of coping with my swelling and pulsating ovaries and the desire to reproduce a delightful bundle of joy. While I am frothing at the mouth to have a baby, the world is on fire. The sweater’s neck is long enough that I can’t see it burn, and to protect me from CO2. I have a crippling caffeine addiction, and I have complicated feelings about the narrative of having children. Am I just being hit with familial pressure, my biological clock, and baby fever? Maybe. I need more research.
