⭐ 4/5 ⭐ 

From the author that wrote Supporting Queer Birth, we are treated to an informative and reflective book about supporting larger women and people through their childbearing journey.

- The book is well set out. Silver has different chapters for different aspects of care such as homebirth or infant feeding. There's also a lot of intersectional chapters covering global majority and queer birth too.

- The book it well researched both in an academic sense, with references provided, but also in who Silver interviews through the course of the book. Not only do the additional perspectives educate amazingly but they also provide additional avenues for the reader to retake when doing further reading or learning after finishing the book.

- The last chapter I loved. It discusses how to firmly set boundaries with professionals and how to make caregivers stop and think if they are not being as respectful as they ought. It provided me with more ways of raising concerns in my own professional sphere but also is an great tool for women and birthing people.

A wonderful educational resource. I've already recommended it to several students and leant my copy to another midwife.
