So simple, helpful, lovely

I loved listening to this. Listening to Marie Louise read her words for herself made it so much more personal and reassuring. As a first time mum-to-be, who is overjoyed, but also a little terrified, this book was perfect. It tells you all you need to know without overwhelming you. It’s packed with fascinating, practical and heartfelt advice. It will leave you well informed and, perhaps more importantly, emotionally ready to bring your baby into the world.

Super helpful

It was a very insightful book that touches upon many aspects of the first, second, third and fourth trimester. Though it didn’t go into immense depth of each stage of pregnancy, I preferred that; it covered different subjects and therefore I felt I could get a better overall understanding of the process. Will be going back to read again certain sections when I need a reminder on particular subject matters.
Great book!

loads of useful information

a useful book filled with tons of useful information. Marie Louise is clearly very knowledgeable, if a bit deadpan vocally, but this was highly informative and shares information from multiple points of view and has left me feeling more informed in the build up to my birth.
