Winner of the Wodehouse Prize for comic fiction 2017
Before motherhood, before marriage, Bridget, with biological clock ticking very, very loudly, finds herself unexpectedly pregnant at the eleventh hour: a joyful pregnancy which is dominated, however, by a crucial but terribly awkward question – who is the father? Mark Darcy: honourable, decent, notable human rights lawyer? Or Daniel Cleaver: charming, witty, notable f***wit?
In this gloriously funny, touching story of baby-deadline panic, maternal bliss, and social, professional, technological, culinary and childbirth chaos, Bridget Jones – global phenomenon and the world’s favourite singleton – is back with a bump.

A gloriously funny and touching story - Daily Express
Bridget Jones is as relevant and funny today as she has always been... Daniel [Cleaver] is not only alive and shagging, he also has the best lines… Again and again he comes up with smutty one-liners that steal the show - Evening Standard
How can a reader not love this woman? - New York Times Book Review
Helen Fielding is one of the funniest writers in Britain and Bridget Jones is a creation of comic genius - NICK HORNBY
Bridget Jones is no mere fictional character, she's the Spirit of the Age - Evening Standard
Fielding’s narrative diverts from the screen version: notably that feckless Daniel Cleaver, the original “fuckwit” in Bridget’s life is, gratifyingly, very much alive and central to the plot of the novel. "VG" - Financial Times
It’s a real fun read. The jokes are great and you find yourself rooting for Bridget and praying she gets the outcome she deserves - The Sun
Before I read this book, I wondered whether there could possibly be anything left to tell. This book is absolutely necessary. At a time when the world seems especially dark and difficult, and sometimes stacked against women, Bridget Jones’s Baby is both a longed for slice of escapism and a real inspiration - The Pool
It’s very, very good… Fielding reminds us once again she’s queen of encapsulating the female experience… Short, pacy and perfect - Press Association
A brilliant comic creation
My daughter was delighted to receive this for Christmas
This is a lively, compelling, heartfelt story written with flair and tenderness.
It is a typical Bridget Jones roller coaster ride as we follow her story of her complex love life and her life changing pregnancy...
