Get Some Headspace is the ultimate guide to improving your life with just 10 minutes of meditation each day. Now founder of Headspace, Andy Puddicombe, teaches you how to remain mindful during pregnancy, childbirth and the early days of parenthood.

The Mindful Pregnancy is the concise and practical guide to achieving and maintaining mindfulness throughout every stage of having a baby. With helpful exercises for both mother to be and her partner, Andy shows how to live mindfully and get the most from pregnancy and the early days of parenthood.

What did you like best about The Headspace Guide to...A Mindful Pregnancy? What did you like least?

This is a decent listen, however it can be summed up succinctly as "meditation is a great thing to do, and headspace is a great app to guide you". If you meditate, it will help you in all areas ofyour life, but different techniques do target different things so the meditations are useful. Some reassuring bits in there about thoughts not being the definer of your existence. That's a very useful thing to know and remember at all times of your life, but especially during the more stressful ones!

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

No ending really as this wasn't a story...

A good listen but not different enough for me...

I found this book was really good as a first timer, just hearing someone speak about the anxieties that come up. It was for me more a gateway into other things such as hypnobirthing.

Really therapeutic for pregnancy

This book was more than I thought it was going to be. I have previously tried to engage with mindfulness practice and to do this through the lens of conception pregnancy and labour was a really helpful anchor for me.

This book was reassuring and genuine without being preachy or too restrictive.

I feel like I have learnt some skills that will genuinely help in life, not just pregnancy and understand this view of mindfulness much clearer than before.

Excellent Introduction to Mindfulness for all Stages of Pregnancy
