Following the revolutionary success of Menopausing, the Nibbie-winning Book of the Year that sparked a nationwide conversation, Davina McCall returns with a powerful new guide to one of life’s most transformative journeys.

In Birthing, Davina brings her trademark honesty, warmth, and humour to the life-changing experience of conception, pregnancy, birth, and the fourth trimester. From navigating the highs and lows of fertility to the physical and emotional challenges of birth and recovery, Davina is joined by an incredible team of experts to answer the questions women often feel too afraid-or too embarrassed-to ask.

Midwife Marley provides real-world guidance and reassurance every step of the way. IVF specialist insights ensure clarity around fertility options. A sex therapist explores intimacy through pregnancy and beyond. Breathwork and pelvic muscle therapists offer practical tools to build strength and ease discomfort, while a personal trainer shares exercises tailored for every stage. A psychologist unpacks the mental and emotional shifts, helping readers feel seen, heard, and supported.

Packed with unfiltered advice, bold truths, and empowering stories, Birthing doesn’t shy away from the messy or raw realities. Instead, it celebrates them-because women’s health deserves nothing less than honesty and care.

Like Menopausing, this book is more than a guide; it’s a call for change, sparking conversation and giving women the tools they need to feel confident and informed. Beautifully designed, unapologetically bold, and refreshingly real, Birthing is here to inspire, support, and empower-one story, one page, one woman at a time.

“A revolutionary book” – Woman’s Own

Menopausing is more than a book; it is a lifeline. An uprising!

For too long, women have had to keep quiet about the menopause – its onset, its symptoms, its treatments – and what it means for us.

Menopause affects every woman, and yet so many of us approach it with fear, misinformation, or silence. Until Menopausing launched in 2022, very few people were talking about it openly-it was a subject shrouded in shame and confusion. But that is changing.

It is time to share, to learn, and to take control of our bodies and our lives. There’s no such thing as too much information.

Revised and updated to reflect the changes in the conversation around menopause and the treatments available, Menopausing New Edition explores and explains the science, debunks damaging myths that have held us back, and smashes all of the taboos related to perimenopause and menopause.

• No more scaremongering: just evidence-based info
• No shame: real women, real menopause stories, real empathy, real community
• Honest, no-holds-barred advice: Dry vagina? Zero sex drive? Hair loss? We’ve got it covered
• The start of a movement: to get everyone talking about the menopause in every home, GP surgery, and workspace

Menopausing New Edition also features moving personal stories, so you can see and understand that every menopause is different, and yet we are all connected, a community.

This is your body. You owe it to yourself to arm it with all the information it needs to navigate this part of your life. Far from being over, this is your second spring. Menopausing New Edition will help you live it.
