Nine months, 40 weeks, 280 days of gestation with ‘extreme physiological and psychological alterations’. So goes the description in Vanessa Namora Caeiro’s blog, who is documenting what it’s like to be pregnant for the first time, and being a mother for the first time. The graphic diary ‘280:Odisseia no Ùtero (280: The Uterus Odyssey)’ is the story of the arrival of Beatriz, or ‘Lontrinha Paxulé’, as she is affectionately called from time to time, the lives of the father Pato and the mother Vanessa. It is a very realistic instruction manual about the mysterious universe of the menhirs and secret female associations, so we think. The birth is due to take place in November. It’s best not to miss scenes from the upcoming episodes.
