The BEST book on pregnancy

I knew this book was going to be amazing. I feel so much more prepared to bring my 1st child into the world, this guide goes in-depth on so many topics relevant to mothers but specifically black mothers to be. I am go to buy the hard copy also to reference back to. Thank you for writing this book!

Very Insightful

As a black woman going through her first pregnancy this was helpful however I cannot help but notice there is a lot of trauma in the story. As much as the author tried to empower the black maternity experience, it sounded very deeply traumatic. Obviously her story is helpful to other women who are going through similar situations as she had. I chose to pick what I liked and I did learn a lot so I'm thankful for this book.

Relatable & informative

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I still learned a lot. Very good book. I might listen again after delivery

Loved this!!!

As a first time mom and woman of color, this book was EXACTLY what I needed to hear to ease my nerves and prepare for this new journey. My biggest takeaway was that I am NOT a single mother; instead, I am a single woman who is also a mother.

Great read from start to finish.Oh Sis Amazing

such a helpful book as a black woman I've learned so much from this book.

Relatable

This book was relatable and easy to listen to. This author covers every aspect of becoming a mom. From the stages of pregnancy to different types of parents, to trials and tribulations. I would recommend this to any of my friends who are new mom 10/10.

Insightful and informative

I love how the book gives expert opinions, as well as personal experiences, and a modern outlook, on black pregnancy in America in all of its glory and gloom wow, also looking at cultural significances.  

loved this book!

would reccomend to all expecting black mama's! very informative and helpful! I will certainly reference back to this book! I have a hard copy, so I decided to listen along and read!

makes a first time mom feel more empowered

lots of good information... we have so much to worry about but be prepared by lustening to what she has to say!

I love this book and plan to it again.

I'm 39, and this is my first pregnancy. I am also a health care professional. I learned a lot and felt uplifted. I intentionally wanted to listen to this book because it is dedicated to the black woman. Bravo, I will recommend it to everyone!
