Piece Comment

Review of Welcome Baby Max


This is a classic diary piece, dealing with subject matter that seems perfect for such treatment. The piece starts a few weeks before the due date, so there is no sense of what the first 2 trimesters held for the soon to be parents, nor any feel for the mounting tension and excitement that you might expect if the diary covered the whole pregnancy. The piece is short, perhaps too short, I would have liked to hear how 5 weeks bed rest due to gestational diabetes affects mom for instance; We get to hear from baby Max via fetal monitor before his birth and he gets to have the last words, or gurgles too. All round a satisfying listening experience.
