Birth is a feminist issue. It’s the feminist issue nobody’s talking about. For too long women have been told, ‘a healthy baby is all that matters’. This book dares to say women matter too. Finally blasting the feminist spotlight into the labour ward, Milli Hill encourages women everywhere to stand and deliver, insisting that birth is no longer left off the list in discussions about female power, control and agency.

Publisher's Summary
Tech investor and new mom Leslie Schrock offers a thoroughly modern guide to pregnancy - from the preparations of “trimester zero” to the challenges of the newborn months.
In the last 30 years, the process of starting a family has drastically changed. Not only are there many more options for getting pregnant, but there are a dizzying array of variables from start to finish. Genetic test or no genetic test? Midwife or OB-GYN? Stroller or Baby Bjorn?
Yet all this choice can also create anxiety, especially around the most difficult realities. Miscarriages and fertility issues are common, yet often concealed. One in nine mothers report dealing with postpartum depression, but it is rarely acknowledged and even more rarely treated. Celebrities post “snap-back” photos of their slim post-baby bodies, creating unrealistic expectations for women everywhere. We have more information than ever, yet nearly every aspect of motherhood is still shrouded in judgment and mystery.
Enter Leslie Schrock, first-time mother whose own struggles opened her eyes to this widespread problem. With the frank, funny warmth of a trusted friend, she delves into everything from in vitro fertilization and prenatal testing to lactation consultants and postpartum birth control. She debunks the most pervasive pregnancy myths, explores the complementary practices, and cites the latest science (with a dash of been-there-done-that experience) to help you make the best decisions every step of the way - for both you and your baby.
So tune out all of the noise you don’t need, and take control of your pregnancy - present or future.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An easy read with lots of good facts and suggestions.
I would recommend this book to any first time, expecting mothers. It’s always good to do lots of research and collect lots of information. This book is another great resource and I found it reassuring at multiple points. It also incapsulates start to finish every step from conception to birth and a little after. It’s definitely worth listening to.

Disappointing
I wanted to find a punchy fresh current take on pregnancy, the intro made it sound promising. However the rest of the book is read by a different narrator and is heavy on the US costs and medical system, rather than society and what you are actually going through. Might be helpful for Americans, or folks at different points /planning their journeys, but for me this book long missed the mark. Would suggest sticking with expecting better (Emily oster) and saving your credits for something better.
