About this listen

A 360-degree guide to pregnancy for first-time parents—demystify your doubts and make healthy choices for yourself and your baby. From the wild surprise that brings tears of joy to a gradual, somewhat anxious, realization that things are going to change, pregnancy is a roller-coaster of emotions, expectations, and the promise of a new life.

And, of course, when you break this wonderful news to family and friends, you are greeted with love, laughter, happiness, and—the one thing that you can’t stop, no matter what—a flood of “good” advice. For first-time parents, however, this can easily become an overwhelming experience that leaves them clueless and confused.

Pregnancy shouldn’t be a storm of uncertainty, stress, and fear—it’s a sacred experience with the potential to change your life in profound ways. You must be able to sort through all the information and options available to you and then weigh what works for you and your baby—whether it’s about nutrition, health, or changes that are yet to come.

This pregnancy guide offers you a complete view of how you can move forward during these months. You will discover:

  • A demystified approach to pregnancy, making it a more holistic experience
  • How to make informed, evidence-based decisions
  • Your personal guide to nutrition
  • A detailed look at 18 of the most common discomforts during pregnancy and how to tackle them
  • Crystal clear answers to your most pressing questions—activity, work, sex, or travel
  • A precise first-time parent’s guide to pregnancy, covering maternal changes, prenatal visits, tests, and weekly fetal development
  • And much more

Prepare yourself to welcome a new life. It’s time to dispel fear, be confident, and experience this journey without any doubts. Are you ready to rid yourself of doubt and let confidence give you more control over your pregnancy? If yes, then listen to this audiobook now.

A Much Needed Guide for First Timers

The number of things on one’s mind seems endless. Professionals or caregivers to hire, individual needs, precautions and needed steps to take. This book gives a solid run down of these and many other options.

It may occur to new parents to learn about meditation, exercises, personal development, cultural and food/dietary choices. This book will help to weight all the factors that affect these choices. It is logically broken out into the 3 trimesters to better understand the chronological sequence of events and to respond accordingly.

Overall you will learn healthier habits that will also extend beyond pregnancy into later life. The emphasis is that pregnancy is a precious time with a sense of connection to life and larger than ourselves. We don’t have to do it alone and can make it smoother with proper arranging and awareness. It’s well worth the time to learn with this great source of information.

Great Guide

I'm getting ready to be a mom for the 2nd time...and its been 8 years since my first so I feel like I am starting over. Hence grabbing this audiobook. I'm glad I did. I had forgotten a lot of the basics, such as nutrition, the amount of Dr. visits, etc. Linda did a nice job of giving practical information that every mother to be can use and I appreciated her direct answers.

Don't leave things to chance

First baby on the way, it's pretty scary. It amazes me how many people just "wing it" there is no need. This book not only gave me the vital information for me and my partner, it helped relieve anxiety. Thing that I would have stressed about this book gave me assurance that these things are normal and how to proceed effectively.

Best pregnacy guide for first timers!

For those who will be first-time parents, this book is absolutely essential. The information provided will be very helpful in easing your anxiety by preparing you for what lies ahead. Many useful advice because doubts and questions are common. For new parents, as well as those who already have children, I would suggest this.

Must Read Before or Just After Conceiving

First-time pregnancies are more than dealing with all the changes in a woman’s body because she’s pregnant, there’s a plethora of emotions occurring with hormonal changes and everything that is unknown, such as how to be a good parent, health care providers, and more. This book is a must-read for new parents to not only help with all the expectations associated with pregnancy but everything you need to consider during pregnancy. And it’s not just for the person carrying the child, it's for her partner too. There’s so much you need to know that you haven’t even thought of. This book is your go-to guide.

A VERY USEFUL PREGNANCY GUIDE FOR FUTURE PARENTS

This book is fantastic to listen to. The Great Survival Guide for New Parents is presented here. From the onset of pregnancy till, say, age two, it has all the information you require. The best statistics based on evidence-based medicine combined with real-life mother anecdotes may be found in this book. I don't believe I've ever written a book review before. This one required that I write. I found it to be the most beneficial pregnant book I've ever read. It is entirely comprehensive and contains all the information you need to make decisions and conduct more research, if you choose.

Informative

There is so much information in this book about pregnancy that I don't know where to start reading. Literally every concern I had about my pregnancy was addressed. The author discussed everything from prenatal dental care to sex to workplace issues. The author also addresses common worries and pain points, and she devotes considerable space to elaborating on the significance of self-care and providing concrete suggestions for putting them into practise. A detailed and informative trimester breakdown is included as well. Quite a useful and enlightening read!

A definite must-listen for all expecting mothers

Must-knows - This book has your back!
This was such a great tool to discover! Calming and informative, this listen is perfect for expecting moms to make the best decisions for themselves and their bub. Having a child for the first time is daunting in so many ways, not to mention fluctuation in hormones can lead to brain fog and so much indecision. It is also time of deep uncertainty that can lead to anxiety, which is why having a complete guide like this pregnancy handbook at hand is such a blessing. Tell your expecting friends and loved ones, or dive in yourself - it's definitely worth a listen.

A Great Pregnancy Guide

This audiobook was full of valuable information to help first time mothers get through their pregnancy. It's one of the few pregnancy books that talks about the spiritual aspects as well as the physical aspects of the pregnancy. It takes you through the rights that pregnant mothers have, as well as important information needed to make critical decisions. There is great advice on self-care, such as what to eat/drink and how to stay active. It addresses a large amount of pregnancy concerns and how to overcome, and I also really enjoyed how it broke down the pregnancy by trimester and month, organising the information very effectively. A very valuable resource for anyone who's expecting!
