It’s like the midwife is there answering all your inner thoughts. I’m a 1st time mum to be at early stage of pregnancy. I can’t speak to an actual midwife until weeks 7-8 and found this very reassuring, especially when you are experiencing everything for the first time and can’t talk about it till your 12 weeks! I will recommend this to every pregnant woman I meet from now on.

Relaxing and calming for a first time over 35 mum to be.

There are so many pregnancy and beyond books out there and I was so confused what to listen to!
I certainly picked the right one, the first audio book I have actually finished and I have also ordered a hard copy so I can refer back as I'm now in my third trimester! Overall, brilliant, informative and is now my pregnancy, birth and baby bible!
Thank you Marie!

Just what I was looking for!

I am so grateful for this book, it really helped me at the early pregnancy to understand what was happening with my body and then all the way till third trimester where now I feel very informed. I have purchased a second book as well which is again wonderful! It is a very very beneficial book that really explains what is happening and reminds you that you are in control
