So informative!
I'm not currently pregnant or actively trying so I'm not the key target audience but this book was incredibly informative. I learned so much about the human body that I wish was taught more widespread. As someone not initiated to motherhood it answers so many questions I'd be too scared to ask. It also made me feel a lot more positive and prepared for a future pregnancy and birth. I found there are so many more options available than I would have imagined.

Great resource and nicely narrated
As a first time mum I found this book really useful.
It provided a lot of great information that doesn't get covered during your appointments. I will be going back to various sections as I continue to make plans and progress through my pregnancy.
Marie's voice is really easy to listen to.

Extremely informative
I have listened to a few audio books at this point in regards to birth.
Most have basic information and don’t go into deep detail.
I found that even though this book revisited almost things I have learnt about it taught me something new or went deep into the topic.

Best baby book I've read so far
Informative and detailed while also being caring and compassionate; everything I needed in a baby book. Having read/listened to a few baby books already, this was my favourite.

Best pregnancy book, I’ve read so far
Covers pretty much everything from pregnancy to birth and the early years. I appreciated the first chapter reassuring me. My symptoms were normal and to not be hard on myself. I feel like I will be re-reading this one at least a couple times! So many good nuggets of useful and relevant information. Would highly recommend to all expecting mothers.

Vague and wishy washy
If you have any background in healthcare, don't bother. I was expecting evidence based and specific pregnancy/birth advice, but the majority of the content is anecdotal opinion.
(A study of only 10 participants is not useful research worth including)
Lots of discussion about basic relaxation techniques and diet choices that any health educated person (and most lay people) should already know.
