De: Linda Tourville MSN

Narrado por: Rosa Cloud

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.

Helpful!

This is just such an important book for first time parents to be. The content will really help in preparing you for what is to come so that you don't need to keep feeling anxious. I would recommend this for first time parents and even if you already have your first. The narrator also does a great job and her voice is very calming.

Great pregnancy guide

This is a great pregnancy guide for first-time Moms. The author does a good job of discussing the customs of pregnancy and birth. It is important to keep a close eye on the Mom at the end of pregnancy and after the birth. Due to the changes in hormones, some new Moms can experience post-partum depression. Making sure both the baby and the Mother have all the resources they need should be a priority for close family members and friends.

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.

Great Audio!

I’m not a mom yet but I hope soon to be. This book has great information that I didn’t know about and probably would have been concerned if I didn’t. It put some worries at ease. If you’re going to be a mother soon (or even a father as it could really benefit you as well) I would definitely recommend this audio. 10/10
