As someone beginning to think about her maternal future this was a good and brisk introduction to the world of pregnancy and babies. I came into this book seeking one thing: information. I am not pregnant nor ever been pregnant so I came into this guide with zero knowledge, and wanted to gain an idea of what pregnancy entails. Predominately this book is made of two formats; Personal anecdotes and medical opinions. The expert opinions provided were short and sweet snippets, so it didn’t feel overwhelming or confusing with all the medical jargon. While the personal anecdotes supplied were relevant, honest and written in good humour.
The only great issue with this book is it’s brisk nature. All of the subjects covered in this book are done so in a rather surface level nature, so you only get a quick idea rather than a deep understanding. It’s a good starting resource, but certainly not a textbook guide. I feel I only have a vague idea now and just touched the tip of the iceberg. Nevertheless, this was a casual guide which wasn’t too overwhelming, which I certainly appreciated because pregnancy and babies still freak me out a little 😐

Yes I spent a lot of time with this book and I don't regret it.
Lots of interesting information (except for maybe the party planning stuff).
Some of the midwife content didn't sit well with me, but I have to assume she was trying to be encouraging, and take it as a good reminder to seek out multiple sources of advice.

From a doula- this book was straight up garbage. I’m literally throwing it in the bin.
So many non-evidence based statements. Why is this person writing a book about birth? It is mainly anecdotal from her own heavily hospital policy influenced birth experience.

Good but not the go to and only baby book you should read. She has a nice positive perspective of everything and sums up the basics well. I liked the last chapter of the sleep routines and lifestyle.

So good! Got so much out of it and will be buying it for myself.

A great read if all you care about is "dressing for your bump" or throwing a baby shower. Everything else is light on information. Such a waste of time.

This is a light and easy read. Good anecdotes and a playful tone. Sometimes it was a little too colloquial for me, but I did appreciate the friend-giving-friend-advice nature.

Thanks for writing this book Bec. I have a 4 month old bubba and this book has worked wonders. I wish I had read this book earlier. Thanks for the Mum life hacks!

Simple overview of everything, everything is sort of breezed over but it is good for a brief overview of all things baby.

This was an enjoyable light read. Focusing less on the medical side and more on the experience. I enjoyed it but would want to read more broadly.
