About this listen

Are you expecting a baby or planning to be soon and unsure of how to navigate your journey toward birth and motherhood? Are you overwhelmed by all the decisions you will have to make, and want to learn how to make important decisions that will come up during pregnancy and birth?

In this book you'll discover how to:

-Decode your cycle and make lifestyle changes to raise your chances of conceiving a baby

-Prepare for each trimester of pregnancy, birth, and the immediate postpartum period

-Pick a provider and birth team

-Make informed decisions in the childbearing year

-Ask questions to your provider and advocate for yourself in pregnancy and birth

You'll also learn what to expect in each phase of pregnancy and birth, and many more of my expert tips from the experience of a birth professional who has walked many couples through this journey.

Why should you listen to what I have to say? In addition to being a mom myself, I have extensive professional experience in pregnancy and birth as a birth and postpartum doula and a deep interest in getting the essential information out to expecting parents without all the fluff. Navigating pregnancy and birth can certainly be daunting.

In this book you’ll get the inside tips from a veteran birth professional about how to know what questions to ask, how to get the information that people need during this time, what choices you have during labor, and how to get through it all. You’ll also get the answers to common pregnancy questions like “how will I know when to go to the hospital?” and “how will I know when to push?”.

This narrowed-down-to-the-good-stuff audiobook gives you the information you need to handle your pregnancy and birth from a seasoned birth professional.

The narration easy to listen to and comprehend.

The voice is knowledgeable but real and conversational—you'll feel like your bestie, who just had a baby and went through it all, is talking to you and telling it like it really is.

What a gift!

I can't imagine anyone going through even the idea of pregnancy let alone the entire process without this book. It's great for reference, for information and for really loving hand holding. Easy to listen to, to understand and to follow - Naomi really delivers (pun intended). A great gift for yourself or anyone you know who is thinking of conceiving.

The Only Pregnancy Book You'll Ever Need

This book is essential for anyone who's pregnant or plans to become pregnant. My wife and I happen to fall into the "plans to become pregnant" camp, and this resource has provided a great deal of clarity around topics that have been causing some angst. For example, my wife wants to have a quiet home birth, with no family or friends present. In many of our relational and medical circles, this plan has been met with active resistance, usually in the form of (what feels like) emotional manipulation. When Naomi made a case for home births, it was genuinely the first time anyone had ever validated our decision.

That alone would be enough for me to give it 5 stars, but there's more. The author's background as a doula gives her a lot of insight and credibility around the pregnancy and birthing processes, and she goes into detail regarding what to expect trimester after trimester. It was especially encouraging to get a reference point for when the baby will start kicking, as well as learning that sex is perfectly safe and beneficial, even in late-stage pregnancy - barring major health concerns, of course.

On the whole, when it comes to pregnancy, if you want to know what to expect and how to prepare for it, this is the only book you'll ever need. 10/10 for me!
