Following the revolutionary success of Menopausing, the Nibbie-winning Book of the Year that sparked a nationwide conversation, Davina McCall returns with a powerful new guide to one of life’s most transformative journeys.
In Birthing, Davina brings her trademark honesty, warmth, and humour to the life-changing experience of conception, pregnancy, birth, and the fourth trimester. From navigating the highs and lows of fertility to the physical and emotional challenges of birth and recovery, Davina is joined by an incredible team of experts to answer the questions women often feel too afraid―or too embarrassed―to ask.
Midwife Marley provides real-world guidance and reassurance every step of the way. IVF specialist insights ensure clarity around fertility options. A sex therapist explores intimacy through pregnancy and beyond. Breathwork and pelvic muscle therapists offer practical tools to build strength and ease discomfort, while a personal trainer shares exercises tailored for every stage. A psychologist unpacks the mental and emotional shifts, helping readers feel seen, heard, and supported.
Packed with unfiltered advice, bold truths, and empowering stories, Birthing doesn’t shy away from the messy or raw realities. Instead, it celebrates them―because women’s health deserves nothing less than honesty and care.
Like Menopausing, this book is more than a guide; it’s a call for change, sparking conversation and giving women the tools they need to feel confident and informed. Beautifully designed, unapologetically bold, and refreshingly real, Birthing is here to inspire, support, and empower―one story, one page, one woman at a time.
