About this listen
'I wish someone had told me!' It's a phrase uttered by countless women after they give birth for the first time. Here's the audiobook that shares the wisdom of women and their birth stories, so that you can make informed and empowered decisions that are best for you.
The Complete Australian Guide to Pregnancy and Birth draws on the expertise of dozens of doctors, midwives and other health specialists to offer the most comprehensive and up-to-date information about pregnancy, labour, birth and early postpartum in Australia.
From making essential care decisions, asking questions of care providers and managing overwhelm to navigating physical changes and preparing for labour, this audiobook is your trusted companion as you make the transition to motherhood. And among all the facts, stats and info is a lot of gentle and kind advice, including first-hand accounts of births, in all kinds of birth settings, from families of diverse backgrounds.

Insightful and heartfelt
This was informative, inclusive and really touched on real lived experiences. I learnt a lot from this book and would recommend to any mother, particularly in Australia.

Incredible book for Australians
Loved everything about this book. I know some reviewers say it was boring but I was hooked in every chapter. So informative and calming, very much needed in first time pregnancy when life feels overwhelming.

Great copy of real birth info & stories
The book goes through a lot of details on giving birth in Australia including excerpts of stories from real people. Great way to get knowledge while pregnant or planning

A Series of Pamphlets
As someone who was hoping to find comfort and knowledge in the stories of others, this felt like the most dull, impersonal and poorly written "book"
Between the excessive reading of services/phone numbers throughout Australia and the constant breathing exercises, I felt like I would have had a more informative experience if I picked up a random selection of Pamphlets at the doctor's office
Very disappointed and underwhelming 🤷🏼♀️
