I did not personally read the first two stories, as my friend who read it before me said that they both had to do with pregnancy and/or childbirth, which are two very hard nos for me. The third story also involves pregnancy and childbirth, but in not nearly as much detail and personally I was fine reading it. Other than that, I guess the constant in all of the stories is death? So if you aren't in the mood to read about people dying, maybe sit this one out.
