My first pregnancy book
It was really informative and I love the different birth stories! It helped to open my mind up to so many different options as I start to prepare to try for a baby.

Comprehensive and enjoyable to listen to
I had read a fair bit and had numerous tips before listening to this book. It really does cover everything you need to know and is enjoyable to listen to rather than reading tonnes of hospital/midwife administered material. Highly recommend!!

Easy. Funny. Real.
I don’t know how many times poo can mentioned in one sentence, yet still make me feel calm and informed about the inevitable. Excellent tone, thoroughly researched and perfectly optimistic for every stage of the process. Thanks!

Great book for first time mama
I finally downloaded this book at 23 weeks. I probably could have picked it up earlier but I just wasn't ready. Clemmie has plenty of tips for the first 20 weeks that would have been helpful but I figured them out on my own. She has a no judgement way about providing the information and generally I found the content useful for me. I enjoyed hearing all of the real life stories as well. One opportunity for future editions would be to provide info that is relevant in different parts of the world. As I'm in Australia and this book is catered to the UK some details would be nice to have (even at the end or an excerpt) for different countries where the book is available/being consumed.

delightful
I liked the book. As someone doing lots of research before even before conceiving a baby (to see what I'm getting myself into) this has good solid evidence by women who know what they are talking about. the only part that wasn't relevant for me was that it was set in the UK and I'm from Australia. I can see how it would be amazing for a UK mum. and it still has loads of other information that I hadn't read in other baby books.
pretty amazing.

Beautiful
Beautiful book to listen to whilst feeling all of the first time nerves and unsettlements of becoming a mother. Definitely had some laughs and cry’s during this book. Beautiful woman inside and out and thankful to have had this on hand. Will definitely be re-reading chapters as I get closer to birthing my baby it’s made me feel so much more confident x

Outdated and biased information.
Outdated and biased information - it is concerning a health professional is using their credentials for providing information that is rapidly becoming incomplete and misleading. Also, the author's narration makes the reading monotonous and disengaging.
