Memoir

Date Published: December 11th, 2025

Publisher: Acorn Publishing

Making a baby is one of life’s most precious and natural acts. But sometimes, despite our deepest wishes and most sincere prayers, the body has other plans.

Vincentia Schroeter dreams of building a family of her own and expects an easy pregnancy. She imagines following in her mother’s footsteps, surrounded by the love of children. However, when complications mount, she must face the likelihood that her wish will never come true.

As her sisters bear children, and women all around her share their happy baby news, Vin grows more envious than ever. The frustration continues as hard truths test her patience and faith and medical professionals deliver devastating blows. The only thing she knows for sure is that she is determined to become a mother.

A story of one woman’s harrowing path through trauma and disillusionment, Babymaking is a heartfelt memoir of vulnerability, rupture, and repair. Vin’s journey reminds us that hope and unconditional love have the power to lead us to the place we were always meant to be.

Review

Babymaking is a raw, passionate book filled with the truths and perils of dealing with infertility. A very specific, scary and not talked about journey, this book is essential to anyone on this journey, including their significant others or family members.

What I wasn’t expecting was how much the words would resonate with me as a woman going through other women’s health issues. She expressed feelings that I had also buried and struggled to cope with when they surfaced. Her book is empowering, raw and honest. There needs to be more advocacy for women’s health and awareness of how isolating infertility can be. The book has accomplished this and much more.

This book brings hope to those going through infertility regardless of the outcome.
