Nonfiction books about pregnancy and childbirth. Emphasis on intersectionality!

back in 2012 I used to run a multi-fandom account on insta/tumblr and all these books/series were fandoms I posted about. inspired to make this as some of these series I've not read for ~10 years and I want to go back and reread them, and the nostalgia in me wanted to create this list for anyone else who misses this era of fandom tumblr 🥹

small note: i don't support jkr but have included HP for the timeframe

For those who want to be seen in fantasy stories too

At the request of @moss-mylk 😊🫶 I will keep updating this list, and as always, recs are welcome.

Fantasy books with strong female protagonists. Women leads who are absolutely incredible. They are not afraid to get dirty or fight and will not sit on the sidelines. Their destiny is in their own hands and no man will tell them otherwise. Sometimes that comes with a learning curve, but they are determined and resilient.

Open to recs in the comments!

Nonfiction books about disability and sexuality. Intersectionality centered.

Please offer recommendations if you have any 😄
