Three women. Three pregnancies. A friendship that will last forever.Meet Louise, 38, Toni, 26, and Gemma, 18. They are all expecting babies in September. One of them conceived in a hurry because she was running out of time. One of them fell pregnant to keep a man. One got knocked up by mistake after a one-night-stand. But none of them realised what they would come up against as they face nine long months of pregnancy, and the reactions of friends, family and colleagues. Meeting through an online forum, they form an unlikely but powerful bond. When it seems that all they have is each other, their lives will be thrown into turmoil, as a blast from the past threatens to destroy everything. Funny, sexy and utterly compelling, Babies in Waiting is a heart-warming novel about motherhood, friendship and finding love at the most surprising time in your life.
