“this book has been a vital resource since my thesis and beyond. I love how it’s organized into 4 sections that mimic the stages of pregnancy, from reproduction to postpartum. It’s inclusive of all experiences of pregnancy including miscarriages and abortion and birth control. Really great contributors list and source material. Also love that it’s pink :)”
