Definitely recommend

This book has been very useful. I have listened to most of it at this point and have gone back to different parts to reference them again. The sections are well labeled and easy to navigate. I also downloaded what to expect when you're expecting, but I preferred this book and stopped listening to that one.

Good advice, but weird editing

I think this book is great! But, there are notes to the editor that should be edited out.

Very Helpful

As a first-time expecting mom, it helped my panic and fear a lot. Useful.

Great Book, Terrible Editing

The information in this book is fantastic. However, there are some sections throughout the book where the narrator pauses and verbally gives notes to the editor. The editor clearly did not do their job.

Good information but bad editing

Not only does the narrator verbally leave notes to the editor a few time, she is obviously not familiar with medical terminology. She misspeaks multiple times and the pronunciation is very irritating. Someone needs to re-edit some of the information as well. Expecting a first OB appointment to be three hours is rediculous. I’ve NEVER seen any appointment allowing that amount of time. Maybe one hour…
