Ìý The truth about Motherhood Monday 3 September 2001 Ìý
Bonding, unconditional love and the smell of talc in the air, or sleep deprivation, loneliness and clearing up endless vomit? Women often complain they are never told the truth about pregnancy and motherhood.

In their latest books Babyville and A Life's Work - authors Jane Green and Rachel Cusk dispense with all the comforting facts and feeding tips and tell it like it is.
They join Jenni to explain why, when you've had a baby, those people you've previously avoided at parties, could become your new best friends!
Babyville by Jane Green (Michael Joseph, ISBN: 0718144635, £12.99).
A life's work - on becoming a mother by Rachel Cusk (Fourth Estate, ISBN: 1841154865, £12.99).
Rachel Cusk's A Life's Work will be Radio 4's Book of the Week next week.
