Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries

A singleton concerned about her ticking biological clock, Bridget Jones unexpectedly discovers that she is pregnant. Although filled with joy, she finds herself in an awkwardly hilarious and terribly precarious position, unsure who among her ex-boyfriends is the father.

The humorously captivating book revolves around romance, maternal bliss, childbirth classes and the eventual childbirth chaos.
