it's exactly what I needed to listen to for my 1st pregnancy. The information is very digestible, easy to process and realistic.

loved it!

Although geared towards UK residents, it’s a great book with really helpful tips, I love the personal stories shared by various people. I probably listened to it 6 times

Great book

I bought this on audible and started listening, before a friend gave me the printed version as a gift. I really love the printed version. It’s beautifully laid out, easy to read and in small sections like a magazine so you can dip ‘in and out’. The format doesn’t work so well when read on audible as you can’t easily navigate the sections and listening to recipes or tables being read out is a bit tedious.

Lovely book. Great gift for an expectant mum. Just buy in print!!

Better to get the printed version
