Publisher's summary

As featured on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 5 Live Selected as one of the Independent’s 10 best pregnancy books for expectant parents.

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.

From the importance of birth plans to your human rights in childbirth, and including birth stories from women across the world, this call-to-arms will help you find your voice, take an active role in your choices, and change the way you think about childbirth.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"I feel so lucky to have read Milli’s book while pregnant, she completely changed my way of looking at giving birth." (Ella Mills, author of Deliciously Ella)

"Milli is a compassionate and passionate writer who puts women squarely at the heart of her endeavours." (Emma Barnett, Woman’s Hour)

"A much-needed, brilliant, reassuring, pioneering, kick-ass book that all women – especially mothers – should read!" (Emma Jane Unsworth)

Love it!!!

Great information and delivery. Super empowering to listen and to uncover parts of myself I didn’t realize were hidden.

Empowering

This book is empowering and offers balanced information and advice! I will definately reccomend it and read it again during my next pregnancy.

Empowering

Amazing worth while read. If you are an American reading it as I was, understand that there is a lot of UK based data so do more research on your own country to get a more specific view. Overall great book that left me confident and ready to talk to my midwife.

Great resource to make informed decisions

From my experience with most feminist groups when addressing pregnancy and birth I was a bit skeptical and hopeful at the same time when I found this book. The way it is written and how it addresses the subject presents information in a way that makes it easy to understand what is happening, why some things are the way they are, why they should change and how it is, indeed, a subject that must be included in the feminist agenda as part of women's rights which are human rights.

Doula review

Wonderful educational perspective. I’ll be searching for a hard copy for myself and add it to my list of suggested reads for clients.

Absolutely Amazing

This was such an empowering and inspiring book. I loved every minute. Easy 5 stars

I hope every woman had a chance to read/listen to this book while pregnant

I wish that we all had access to this information, and to the empowerment that it brings! It has given my strength and practical tips on how to make sure everyone around me understands that it is me who has the right to chose what I want, my body my choice my birth, whatever type it is.
Thank you!
