The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians covers everything you need to make the thrilling and challenging journey to motherhood: from choosing a donor to tracking fertility to signing the right papers on the dotted lines. Rachel Pepper's lively, easy-to-read guide is the first place to go for up-to-date information and sage advice on everything from sex in the sixth month to negotiating family roles. Why a second edition? When the acclaimed first edition appeared, the author's daughter was only a few months old. This new edition takes into account the parenting know-how Pepper has developed over the intervening six years, as well as the evolving legal status of lesbian parents, and the increasing importance of the Internet for information on fertility, sperm banks, and donors. The resource section is greatly expanded, as are the sections on each trimester of pregnancy, on childbirth, and on life with a newborn. And Pepper provides more insight into preconception planning for both single lesbians and couples. An indispensable resource, The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians is now bigger and better.

“[A] a well-researched, deeply comprehensive (and readable!) guide to building a queer family in a way that works for you.” —Emily Oster, author of Expecting Better This groundbreaking, up-to-date fertility guide from trusted queer and trans midwife Kristin Liam Kali is perfect for every queer family seeking pregnancy. It’s also the first evidence-based, transgender inclusive, and body-positive fertility resource for our community. Here, queer prospective parents will find sound advice about every step of the baby-making process: · Creating a timeline · Fertile health for every body · Preconception tests · Identifying ovulation · Sperm donors, egg donors, gamete banks, and surrogacy · Methods of insemination including IUI, IVF, and reciprocal IVF · Miscarriage and infertility · Navigating early pregnancy and preparing for infant feeding, including lactation induction for trans women and other nongestational parents This book is for all LGBTQ+ readers interested in creating family through pregnancy: anyone who identifies as queer, lesbians, gay men, bisexual people, trans and nonbinary people, couples, single parents by choice, poly families, and coparents. It’s an antidote to a culture and medical system that all too often centers heterosexual couples experiencing infertility while overlooking our unique needs. Also contains sidebars with guidance for reproductive healthcare professionals. “This life-changing book is equal parts practical handbook and sensitively written resource. Highly recommended!” —Toni Weschler, MPH, author of Taking Charge of Your Fertility

Lesbians looking to have a baby often face a major issue when it comes to affordability. When you take two women who knew little about assisted conception, throw in a desire to have a baby, and add a few hundred days researching the best ways to conceive in a lesbian relationship, you get Sarah and Emma. Through our research, talking with other couples, and good old fashioned trial and error, we managed to find a way for Sarah to get pregnant without breaking the budget. All in all, we spent less than a few hundred dollars, and were able to conceive a child the first time we put our final plan to task. That's not to say that we had many 'draft' plans, and unsuccessful plans, but we found a lesbian pregnancy plan that worked for us, and that will hopefully work for you as well. Good luck, lesbian mothers to be!

Women's health, as a field of study, is a developing discipline. Health theories in general have been based on studies of men. However, in recent years, more attention has shifted to women's health, realizing the disparities between men and women in relation to their health. During the last two decades, a similar shift has occurred for a group of womenâ€"lesbian womenâ€"to further identify and specify their health needs. Over the past decade, lesbians have organized to call for attention to the health issues of this community, resulting in several federally funded research initiatives. This book offers a comprehensive view of what is known about lesbian health needs and what questions need further investigation, including: How do we define who is lesbian? Are there unique health issues for lesbians? Are lesbians at higher or lower risk for such health problems as AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, breast cancer, mental disorders, and substance abuse? How does homophobia affect lesbian health and the funding of research on lesbian health? How do lesbian health needs fit into the health care system and the larger society? What risk and protective factors shape the physical and mental health of lesbians? The book discusses how to determine which questions to ask about sexual orientation, the need to obtain information without violating privacy, the importance of considering racial and ethnic diversity in the study of lesbians, strategies for exchanging information among researchers and disseminating findings to the public, and mechanisms for supporting greater numbers of researchers. Lesbian Health takes a frank look at the political pressures, community attitudes, and professional concerns uniquely affecting the study of lesbian health issues. The book explores many other issues including the potential for transferring findings in this field to other population groups, including other rare populations and women in general.
