The Birth Book
AN OBSTETRICIAN'S GUIDE TO PREPARING FOR CHILDBIRTH: WARM, INFORMATIVE AND FUNNY.
For most mums-to-be, the birth suite is a black box. An alarming number venture in with little clue of what to expect. The Birth Book empowers mothers, partners and support people with knowledge — changing potentially frightening birth experiences into cherished, life-long memories.
Drawing on his extensive experience as an obstetric specialist and leading researcher into making childbirth safer, Professor Stephen Tong guides you through vital information to ensure a safe and happy birth day. Simply written and entertaining, the pages are packed with information and real-life stories to answer questions such as:
- What happens during labour exactly?
- How long will labour last?
- Are epidurals safe?
- Why are caesareans even needed?
- What options and choices do I have?
Professor Tong carefully breaks down the evidence and facts so you have the knowledge and insight share in decision-making where-ever your birth may lead.
The Birth Book provides you with everything you need to know to turn anxiety and trepidation about your childbirth into an empowering and confidence led experience.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
