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.

Really enjoyed this book
I found listening to rather than reading so helpful whilst pregnant so I could multitask - this is one of my favourite books! The content is great, I love that the author is British too. She provides lots of handy tips and things to consider and doesn’t come across as condescending!

Your best friend during pregnancy
Thankyou so much Marie Louise! I really feel like you’ve been a caring friend holding my hand throughout this entire book. The information you’ve provided has given me so much confidence with my first pregnancy and I now feel empowered in looking forward to my birth. I love your holistic and open minded approach to self care and medicine and I love how mother-centred this whole book is. I have implemented so many of your suggestions with brilliant results. My baby girl is healthy and thriving at 23 weeks and I feel better than I’ve ever felt before. I loved your narration throughout- it felt warm and genuine and soothing. This is a book I will be re listening to many times over!

Really helpful!
Comprehensive, plain-talking, practical, kind. I really appreciated that this was written by a UK qualified midwife because it details the support that is available on the NHS. I also liked that this combines or considers traditional, medical and alternative approaches and is non-judgemental.
