I want to tell everyone about this book because it's the one pregnancy book that I really needed but had never heard of before. Garbes felt like a big sister, taking me under her wing and giving me all the validation and emotional support that I've been longing for. Her perspective as a woman of color is so valuable, and I really enjoyed the memoir aspect of this book. She does not shy away from calling out the problematic history of maternal medicine and advocating for much-needed change for ALL pregnant persons. This book is exactly what my overwhelmed, anxious, pregnant, social worker heart needed.
“Today, feminism means supporting women in whatever method of birth that they want.”

No matter how much I read about pregnancy my mind is still blown by how little we seem to know about aspects of it. Google microchimerism as just one example out of like 50 from just this book alone. I enjoyed how much Garbes went into the emotional side of parenting and the huge identity shift of parenthood. For me this books is a perfect mix of facts and emotion.
