But she’s troubled by a looming reality that seemingly bothers no one else: having a baby also means birthing an identical, nearly indestructible self who will eat her and take her place. “Rebirth” is simply a fact of life—nature’s way of equipping women for the challenges of motherhood. But as Vivi’s unborn child develops, so does her fear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a rare turn of events, Vivi emerges from rebirth weakened rather than strong.
