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

One word: FANTASTIC !!!!!
I don’t ever leave reviews, so take it from me when I say BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
Such a good read/ listen. I would HIGHLY recommend this book. I’m aiming to fall pregnant towards the end of this year as a first time mum. So it was nice to read such a POSITIVE perspective of preganacy and birth. It’s made me even more broody than before, and super excited for the journey of motherhood.
This book was easy to follow and clearly read. The author included so many top tips and tricks (perfect for 1st time mums and mums to be). I’m so glad I have this in my audible liberate as I’ll defo be listening to it again! Thank you for such an amazing book.

Comprehensive intro to motherhood
The book covered many topics but it felt very long. Some chapters were information dense and not wanting to miss anything, I found myself slowing down and pausing to process. Contains some good up to date advice and assurance.

First time mums must read/listen to it
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
