Hey! So a friend of mine is obsessed with the tv show Torchwood and has purchased multiple of the episodes with their account, after your comment I was curious about it and asked if I could give it a listen. And he had it!

The episode is an audiobook style of story that goes for 57 minutes (when you purchase it, it comes with 10 minutes of extras) and it talks through the emotional and physical perils of a man in the second, and last week, of his alien pregnancy. I personally thoroughly enjoyed it! There are many gags about mood swings and cravings and they are treated in a nice comical way (not insensitive or too overdone), but it also shows a very real and emotional side to the character as the pregnancy is out of grief and loss. It is compelling and you can tell that the voice-actor was having a lot of fun with his role!

There is no birth scene, but there is a long birth-like scene that takes place wherein Jack Harkness is hurting as he enters labour, or the "final stage" of his pregnancy, before he is able to go onto a birthing ship for a caesarean section. This "birth scene" goes on for probably 10-15 minutes. It is a little bit plot-based, meaning that with his pregnancy there are some other components, but that doesn't take away from the story/enjoyment at all.

I really enjoyed it and would gladly listen to it again! However, I understand that the price factors into it,  but I think it could be worth it for those who enjoy audiobooks, mpreg and John Barrowman (the actor of Jack Harkness) complaining about how hormonal and nauseous he is. However, $7.99 for 57 minutes of story, with 10 minutes of extras is something that needs to come into consideration.

BUT THIS IS JUST MY OPINION! Whether you chose to buy it or not it is your choice, these are just my thoughts (as someone who didn't have to pay for it, but understands the cost)

Thanks for this! This is EXACTLY the kind of info I was looking for. I am a bit disappointed that there's no "birth scene" as I am an mpreg birth junkie and was really hoping Torchwood would have gone a different route than a c-section, especially since Doctor Who made a go of it and Doctor Who is much milder in comparison to Torchwood. But your review definitely gave me a lot to consider. Much appreciated! :D
