It so refreshing that there is science backed information!
I only wish that I had bought the paper version so I could easily go back and forth.

Science is Awesome

Clear and informative, it also has given me hope and the motivation to try again after several loss’s. Will be taking multivitamins mentioned regarding recurrent miscarriages

So informative, enjoyable listen

I did my PhD in developmental biology and really like reading books about embryo development, pregnancy, fertility. I understand and value all the information in the book, it’s all well explained, researched and summarized but it left me wondering…Do we really need all the supplements, stress and tests? I wonder to what extent it is a money-making thing. Before supplements were there people would still get pregnant.
My nan for example had my mom at the age of 43 with no IVF, in the middle of post war recession. I’m not saying that I disagree with the research but I equally think that for a person who wants to get pregnant reading all this may only cause anxiety…so much to buy, check and control! Shouldn’t it be that a healthy diet, exercise’d be already good enough with some folate/vitamin D help? My review is more of the discussion rather than the actual review. I find the book informative but a bit frightening. Very good for those wanting to prepare the body for pregnancy and make sure nothing is missing.
But also worth remembering that some of the vitamins like e.g. retinol (vitamin A) can be harmful for a baby, so I would recommend talking to the GP.

Good information but confused me

I would recommend this book to anyone trying for a baby, excellent information and very well researched. This was also recommended to me by a colleague.

Amazing content recommend this book to everyone who is trying for a baby!! I listened to it twice. It’s extremely heavy so there should be a PDF version alongside it because it’s not appropriate to have all this info with no written format to refer back to.

Amazing content needs PDF version

Normally books with such technical content come with embedded pdf resources available to purchasers of the audiobook, Unfortunately this one doesn't so if you want access to all the useful lists of supplements and doses for each condition you have to buy the print edition. Can't fault the content of this audiobook otherwise, and the narration is generally clear if a little dour and sleep-inducing.

Good content but no supporting pdf resources
