This pioneering guide provides birth professionals, pregnant people, and advocates with comprehensive insight into navigating conception, pregnancy, birth, and the perinatal period whilst fat. Drawing on the author''s decade of experience as well as evidence-based research and case studies from people sharing their own perspectives and stories, this authoritative and compassionate book provides practical and effective advice on how to improve quality of care for fat parents. It covers a wide range of topics across the birth journey and beyond including interviews with a number of high-profile people including Nicola Salmon and Amber Marshall and empowers readers to feel reassured and confident in their choices and rights. This ground-breaking resource challenges the pervasive bias against fat service users in the birthing world and acts as a call to action to dismantle the fatphobic stigma present in our healthcare systems in order to create an environment that is inclusive of all bodies.

Industry Reviews

Another invaluable read from AJ Silver, on a subject very close to my heart; making birth better for every body. This educational and thought-provoking guide will help you understand and unpack your own bias on bigger bodies and ultimately provide better informed and safer antenatal care for people of all shapes and sizes. An essential read for all birth workers. -- Siobhan Miller, Founder of The Positive Birth Company and author of Hypnobirthing: Practical Ways to Make Your Birth Better
