A Midwife Nation

BOOKS & MORE

The following recommended reading is merely that – a recommended list of reading for pregnancy, breastfeeding, parenting and beyond. Some of the books deserve comments about how wonderful they are – the italicized comments are my own opinions about each recommendation.

If you’re looking for ways to save money on books – buy them used (look for this option on Amazon or use eBay) or rent them from your library.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases (I get commissions for purchases made through links on this page). Those monies go straight to the mission and vision of A Midwife Nation – in other words, your bookish habits are helping make more midwives ❤️.

Books for pregnancy…

*These are the two desktop references that I have used the most 10 years after midwifery school. If your midwifery curriculum didn’t include these texts, I highly recommend bth wholeheartedly as cornerstones of your practice.


Books on parenting… (Disclaimer: I’m a mama of four trying to learn my way. Every day is a new challenge in parenting. There are a lot of books that do not make this list, but these are the books I would recommend to any mama I was having coffee with ☕️!)



Books for women or about women’s health…



Books on healthcare, public health or global health…



Books that I do not recommend and why…
