About this listen
Being a mum is an incredible journey, a remarkable experience that changes how we look, how we feel, who we are. As mothers we are strong, protective and proud. We feel a love like no other.
But being a parent can be hard, too. It challenges us physically, mentally, emotionally. There are the days where just managing to fit a shower in amidst the endless feeding, entertaining young children and surviving on a lack of sleep feels like an achievement. With so many people ready to offer 'advice' on the best way to parent, it can feel like you are getting it all wrong.
Since Giovanna and her husband, Tom Fletcher, have had their sons, Buzz and Buddy, they have been sharing glimpses of their family life. With an infectiously positive outlook and a happy take on all things mum-related, Giovanna has developed a following of fellow parents and mums-to-be.
This is not an audiobook about how to have the perfect family experience - Gi would be the first to admit she is winging it just as much as the rest of us. Instead it is an honest, upbeat and incredibly personal account of her own experience of having a family.
In Happy Mum, Happy Baby, Giovanna shares her own journey through parenthood, and in doing so she looks at what it is to be a mother today, encourages you to be confident in yourself as a parent and celebrates how putting a focus on being a happy and confident mum can really make for a happy baby.

Absolutely lovely!
G is such a story teller! From the opening chapter I was hooked and carried this with me into the bath, on the bus and into bed to listen to before I slept. As someone who dearly wants a family one day it was a joy to read that had me gasping in disbelief and giggling hysterically.

Reassuring Book, Great Fun Read
I loved this book. I'm currently pregnant with my first and I was looking for some overall parenting experiences. so often with friends or blog posts it's issue based. it was really nice to get waves of good, bad, funny, frustrating over a whole period of time. The author has a beautiful narrating voice, to be honest I'd be disappointed with any other narrator, you can tell by her voice and tone, they are her children. I am planning on buying a proper step by step parenting book but I wanted something more personal and less textbook, this was just the thing!

Trigger warning for ED
This book was okay, but I felt urged to write a review with a trigger warning for eating disorders. The author goes into a LOT of detail about her weight loss journey postpartum, including how much she weighed pre and post baby, how much she wishes she weighed, how she lost weight and what weight she is unhappy with being. She attempts to follow that all with a bit about how all bodies are beautiful etc etc, but that message really doesn't match up following such an in depth discussion on how much she weighs and whether or not she feels good about that number.
I wasn't expecting that in a book about motherhood, so heads up if that is something that is an issue for you!
