Birthing

'Davina’s new book is EVERYTHING you need to know about giving birth…this is basically a bible’ Alex Jones on The One Show

Birthing is your honest, expert guide to pregnancy, birth and beyond, featuring everything you need to feel informed, supported and empowered.

In Birthing, Davina McCall — alongside midwife Marley Hall and a team of leading experts — offers compassionate support and empowering advice on every stage of the journey, including the clear answers to the questions women often feel too afraid or too embarrassed to ask.

Inside, you’ll find:

Fertility & conception – IVF explained clearly, plus advice on what really helps (and what doesn’t).

Pregnancy care – Midwife Marley’s step-by-step guidance, from antenatal care to preparing for labour.

Your changing body – how to stay strong and comfortable throughout pregnancy and post-partum.

Birth choices – understanding your options, managing pain, and knowing your rights and a supportive look at what happens throughout the birthing process. .

The fourth trimester – practical advice for recovery, feeding, and the reality of life with a newborn.

Emotional wellbeing – coping with anxiety, financial pressures, identity shifts, the mental load of new motherhood and supporting your mental health throughout it all.

Sex & intimacy – an open, honest look at relationships and intimacy during and after pregnancy.

Representation that matters – vital insights into Black maternal health and why tackling inequalities saves lives.

Real stories – empowering voices from women sharing their honest experiences.

Looking after your baby – advice on feeding, crying, sleeping and everything in between in those early days.

Unflinching, supportive and full of expert knowledge, Birthing is here to empower you with the confidence and clarity and birth you deserve — whatever your path to parenthood looks like.

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.

Davina McCall's Menopausing was a #1 Sunday Times bestseller w/e 25 September 2022.
