Supporting Queer Birth Summary

Supporting Queer Birth: A Book for Birth Professionals and Parents by AJ Silver

Bringing together the stories and experiences of LGBT+ parents as well as professionals in the field, this guide explains what healthcare and birth workers can do to improve care for their clients. It broadens the ability to understand those who birth and parent beyond the heteronormative and cisgender binary.

Covering topics such as LGBT+ and neurodiversity, surrogacy and lactation, as well as including interviews from Jake Graf, Freddy McConnell and Sabia Wade, AJ Silver brings to light the failures of the maternity system for LGBT+ parents and discusses how these mistakes can be avoided.

A compelling, educational, and motivational book, Supporting Queer Birth is essential reading for birth workers and healthcare professionals.

Supporting Queer Birth Reviews

There is so much to learn from AJ's book. They have packed it full of information, and all of it accessible. Each read brought me to new revelations and reflections, not only with my own practice but with what I teach and how. One to return to, continually. -- Mars Lord, Life Coach and Doula Educator (Abuela Doulas)
