About this listen
In this thought-provoking short, #1 New York Times best-selling and award-winning author Jodi Picoult explores a dystopian crisis through the pinhole lens of an ex-couple experiencing an unwanted pregnancy.
Please note: This content is intended for adults only. It features themes of pregnancy loss that may be upsetting to some listeners. Discretion is advised.
Margot and James are broken up—for good this time. James made sure of it when he dropped the bomb on Margot: that he doesn’t want kids, ever.
Then, on the biggest morning of his life, James—an ambitious lawyer at a high-powered firm—wakes up pregnant. He realizes with dread that he is part of a recent epidemic of men suddenly and inexplicably becoming pregnant. His condition obvious to the higher-ups, James is denied the promotion he was expecting, sending him reeling.
Meanwhile, Margot, a social worker, must handle the influx of desperate, pregnant teenage boys suddenly seeking her help. When she receives a call from James with the same problem, the challenge of navigating post-Roe America hits even closer to home.

Sensitivity handled
God must be a woman 😍 As an Australian reader we are seeing the events in the US from a distance. I am so troubled by recent news- it seems that a total rethink may be needed-women’s rights, voting rights and your right to live without the fear being shoot or going broke if you need medical treatment or prescriptions.

You’re kidding, right?
This was very entertaining and worth a chuckle. I don’t think that men ‘thinking they are pregnant’ would change anything. Our country needs to teach more about contraception and ALSO to have the medical staff be able to make a decision in favour of the health interest of mother and child. Men have absolutely nothing to do with the decision whether to abort or not. But good on jP for an interesting fairytale.

I wanted more
A great topic but I wanted more story about men struggling with raising a child and all the biases by men that make having children a sacrifice of the self. More please.
