PARTURITION – DRAMA ABOUT WANTING A BABY

Magda, 22 had always wanted a baby. Brought up on a farm, she saw both the beginning and end of life, and knew that the one thing she always wanted was to be mother. It was her destiny. So when she found that she was pregnant, if was like a dream finally becoming reality. Until the bubble burst and the tiny life poured out from between her legs in this drama about wanting a baby. It seemed that she was just not meant to be a mother. But Magda never gave up. She knew she would do anything to have a child of her own. Anything….

Laura, 42 had her children already. Devoting her life to them until they were in their teens so she could return to her high powered executive career which she loved. Now that she and her husband were separated and the children were out of the house, she could devote herself entirely to her work. Except for that one small problem – she was pregnant.
But she had it all under control. She would work from home whilst raising the baby with the help of her new housekeeper, Magda.
