Preparing & managing the mind for pregnancy!
VERY HELPFUL!! This is the first book I have read (listened to) about pregnancy, and I am pleased it is as it is providing me a platform on how to approach everything that comes next from the perspective of a balanced mind and knowing how to maintain a sense of equilibrium and an internal locus of control as I face all the information and experiences that will come next. I would highly recommend it. I would, however, start with the Headspace App before reading this book so you can get started with mindfulness for "you" first (there is a 10-day free mindfulness program on the app that teaches you in a really accessible & demystifying way), then pick up this audiobook to go deeper in relation to pregnancy.

Pregnancy by a man : /
Basically don’t get stressed or you’ll harm your baby is the theme. Obviously the idea is that a woman is a vessel for a foetus and she should be able to suspend all life stresses while pregnant.

A bit useless
I bought this book based on the reviews, but I'm not sure who this book is for. I've been meditating for 5 years now, and wanted some practical meditations, or even some buddhist insight, on pregnancy.
However, the whole book is "mindfulness is great, my app is great, my business is great". It's off-putting.
Neither a mindfulness nor pregnancy book--just the calm ramblings of a guy talking about how he wanted to write a book, and about how now he's written it. I listened to so many baseless chapters thinking "surely this is the one where the book starts".
For a more mindful pregnancy book with yoga practices, try Active Birth. For meditation practices focused on pregnancy, try YouTube. And for calmness and bonding exercises, try HypnoBirthing classes.

triggering material without warning
I was really excited that this was available to me, I very much enjoy headspace and typically very much enjoy the author. what was absolutely unacceptable is that the author goes into a meditation about losing a child without warning. I was pregnant when I heard that and it made me very upset. things like that should be in a separate part of the book or a separate file or something.

A must have for expecting mammas.
Worries and stress is a part of pregnancy for most women. This book helps you be at ease, which is so important, not only for you but for the baby as well. I love the stories from the monasteries, it puts everything into perspective.

A good listen but not different enough for me...
What did you like best about The Headspace Guide to...A Mindful Pregnancy? What did you like least?
This is a decent listen, however it can be summed up succinctly as "meditation is a great thing to do, and headspace is a great app to guide you". If you meditate, it will help you in all areas ofyour life, but different techniques do target different things so the meditations are useful. Some reassuring bits in there about thoughts not being the definer of your existence. That's a very useful thing to know and remember at all times of your life, but especially during the more stressful ones!
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
No ending really as this wasn't a story...
Did Andy Puddicombe and Jane Collingwood do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?
Not applicable
Was The Headspace Guide to...A Mindful Pregnancy worth the listening time?
Yes it was
Any additional comments?
Worth a listen if you fancy it, some useful anecdotes in there from various ppl too
