Type A and Pregnant explores the journey through pregnancy, labor and parenting with a Type A personality through anecdotal stories and creative non-fiction.
Like everything else in my life, I was determined to have a planned, calculated and organized pregnancy. With a Type A personality, I have spent my life taking control of most situations, seeking organization, avoiding surprises and attempting perfection. Pregnancy, labor and parenting to a Type A is like Grand Central Station to an agoraphobic. Combining the Type A personality with our primal instincts to nurture and care for our babies creates a predisposition to develop neurosis if not managed effectively. Type A and Pregnant is about my journey as a Type A learning to adapt to this new world of unknowns, surprises and disorganization.
