Zinesters who have experienced pregnancy and parenthood use the medium as a way to offer an alternative to more traditional mainstream resources. This also creates more space for discussion of topics like trans identity (both for parents and children), parenthood outside of traditional gender norms and family structures, and challenges to medicalized versions of pregnancy.
To find zines like these, try a HOLLIS search using the form/genre term "zines" plus a subject term like "parenting" or "pregnancy" or "child rearing" or "mothers."
