Lagom A Bump in the Road: A Story of Fertility, Hope and Trying Again

Love and hope, as expected from Elle Wright.

I couldn't put it down. After reading Ask Me His Name, a book that has stayed with me long since, I pre-ordered this, long before the release date. Elle has a wonderful way of captivating you with her words, so that you feel every emotion. This book was no different in that respect. What an incredible woman she is, to have endured such devastation and heart break, but have the ability to emit such a warmth and lightness. I felt like I was in those hospital rooms with her. What a privilege it is to have an insight into those most intimate moments of her life. She is a beacon of hope. She has opened the doors and provided a brave insight into the world of baby loss, and infertility, and I have no doubt that this story will inspire many on a similar path. She writes with so much love, and though there is a great deal of sadness in both of her books, but in truth they are the ultimate love stories, of her unwavering love for her children. If I can say one final thing, it's that this book is not just for those who have had a similar journey and understand, but is very much for those who have not, as it will help you to understand. Thank you for continuing the conversation, and sharing your story with the world, Elle.

It truly helped me to read Elle's word's again, her first book helped me understand others and grief and this only truly helped me with my own journey in just the 3 days it took for me read it! Thank you, and congratulations o' whats you have achieved for you, and you family!

This book is so honest funny and absolutely heartbreaking all at the same time. Elle is just so strong and so brave, and to be able to share her story and help others just proves how much courage and strength she has even when she feels she has nothing left to give she keeps giving and holding on to hope. I cried so much at the last chapter and the letter you wrote to your self, having suffered a loss myself you will never know just how much you have validated the feelings I had and made me realise the thoughts and suffering I have is okay.You will inspire me forever and I pray so much u bring out another book of the journey you now have with ur rainbow 🌈 baby 💖🧡🤍

I have followed Elle for a long time on Instagram but It was sadly not until I lost my first pregnancy that the extent of what Elle had been through really started to resonate and I found her first book to be an absolute life line to me. Her positivity and hope got me through those very dark days and her honest no BS approach was I what I needed to hear, someone who just really got it, like talking to a friend who could understand exactly what you were going through.It was when lighting did sadly strike twice and we had our second loss that I read Elle’s second book shortly after. The journey Elle so eloquently talks about is the journey I’m also on having faced TFMR, miscarriage and now the long road of IVF. This book has given me the ability to believe that miracles do happen, their is light in all this darkness and that there is going to be a rainbow after the rain. So thank you Elle for being such a beacon of hope and guiding light to soo many of us who are sadly going through this, it’s a silence that desperately needs to be broken and this book couldn’t have done that better xx
