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.

really informative but not worrisome or dull. the author/narrator has a great tone, pace and sets the info at a good level to understand without being patronising

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

First time mums must read/listen to it

A good overview of what to expect for first time but not enough on bottle feeding.
