Bump - How to Make, Grow and Birth a Baby by Kate Evans

Acclaimed cartoonist Kate Evans delivers a no-nonsense illustrated guide to the joys and pains of getting pregnant and giving birth in a much-awaited sequel to her breastfeeding bestseller, The Food of Love.

Evans deftly handles the physical and emotional changes that come with being pregnant, looking at the practicalities of every stage as well as the challenges that may arise. Her straightforward, funny and accessible text is illustrated throughout with detailed artwork to guide the reader through the intricacies of human reproduction whilst her customary laugh-out-loud cartoons demystify the complexities of pregnancy and birth.

What midwives and mothers say about BUMP:

‘Informative and empowering. This is an epic work of love and deep understanding.’
‘This is just so wonderful – such a lovely way to describe how your body is designed to birth.
I felt relaxed just reading it.’

Davina McCall on The Food of Love:

‘Amazing – I laughed out loud.’

Mumsnet on The Food of Love: 

‘The least patronising and most empathetic parenting book I’ve read. Funny, supportive, packed with up to date information, I would definitely recommend it to any new mother.’
