Horror with themes surrounding motherhood, childbirth, pregnancy, and/or offspring that isn't quite so cute and cuddly. Proceed with caution..these books may bite.

Have you read Motherthing by Ainslie Hogarth? Ralph and Abby are trying for a baby, so it has some focus on that, while the bulk of the story focuses on Abby's relationship with her mother-in-law, which I think does fit thematically with the other titles on the list.
I have not but it sounds perfect for this! Thanks for the suggestion
