Story
There is so much noise surrounding pregnancy and birth. There are countless books teeming with information—what test does what, the "rights" and "wrongs" of eating, and "safe" or "risky" lifestyle choices—but few that hold a woman through the experience, acting as an elder sister, a matriarch, or a circle of women might hold her—with compassion, nonjudgment, and, most of all, wisdom. To the authors of Nine Golden Months, this is exactly what's needed now, in an era of high-speed living, endless demands, and more than a little anxiety and fear.
Publisher's Summary
It’s all here. Everything you need to know--and can’t wait to find out—about your amazing nine months, from conception to birth and beyond in the world’s best-selling and best-loved pregnancy guide: Heidi Murkoff’s What to Expect When You’re Expecting. And now, only from Audible, you’ll hear it in the reassuring, relatable voice expectant parents turn to for the must-have advice and information they crave and trust.
Heidi’s warm and empathetic narration will put moms- and dads-to-be at ease every step of the way through life’s most incredible journey. With the help of a diverse cast of voices—including her daughter Emma’s (also featured on the cover of What to Expect when she was expecting her first son, Lennox), Heidi answers your most pressing and personal questions and concerns, offering practical advice, realistic insight, easy-to-use tips, and lots of reassurance, along with the most up-to-date medical information. With the landscape of pregnancy and childbirth ever-changing, and with more choices facing expectant parents than ever before, you’ll hear the latest on pregnancy screenings, medications, and supplements during pregnancy, IVF, and multiple pregnancies, breastfeeding while you’re expecting, every birthing option (from VBAC and gentle c-sections to water birth and hypnobirthing)—plus, everything you need to know about your first three months postpartum, aka that vital fourth trimester, including how to spot the signs of postpartum depression and other mood disorders. Your pregnancy lifestyle (from work to working out, travel, beauty, skincare, and more) gets equal attention, as does your pregnant sex life. Get expert advice on juice bars, raw diets, coffee drinking, e-cigarettes and edibles, push presents, baby bump posting, omega-3 fatty acids, grass-fed and organic, health food fads,and GMOs. Expecting to become a dad? This book has you covered, too. It’s your pregnancy explained, demystified—and completely supported.
With more than 19 million copies in print, What to Expect When You’re Expecting is read by 93% of women who read a pregnancy book and was named one of the Most Influential Books of the Last 25 Years by USA Today.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, an accompanying PDF of charts and diagrams will be available in your Audible Desktop Library along with the audio.

pregnancy for dummies
this is a good book for anyone to read when pregnant for the first time. having said that it is is catered to everyone. this is the kind of book written for an evangelical american girl knocked up at 14 who doesnt know basic biology. its also written for americans who cannot afford to give birth and goes on about insurance and giving birth without a doctor and dealing with no maternity leave. there's also a good chunk about basic nutrition. if you know the basics this will be a boring read. though i do still recommend it as it does have vital information that may not be so well known. introducing allrergen foods during the later months etc.

Useful but cringy.
If you can put up with the narrator, it's got a lot of useful information for first timers, you can delve deeper with your own research after.
On the other end, it's got too much info, a lot of fluff, cringy American fluff. Save your time and skip the majority of this book. pick out what's relevant to your situation.
For non Americans this book is very American. It would be good if they tried to generalise the information for a world audience. Again going back to the book having too much fluff.
This book is worth listening to and a good reminder that common sense isn't always common.

outdated and too broad for an audiobook
34 hours no thank you.
I attempted to push through her annoying chirpy accent along with her narration style which was equally as frustrating.
I'm sure it's pack full of useful information however in audio form it's nightmaringly detailed, instead of giving it a brief 2-3 min explanation as necessary, skipping through, she is still blabbing on about it 20min later!
death by details!
not worth it, get the physical copy so you can pick and choose what information is applicable and you don't have to listen to her voice.

Unfortunately I absolutely can't stand the narrator's voice, she's very monotone and I fall asleep within a minute at nights when I'm trying to finish a chapter .

Not great
It’s full of very random points that I find aren’t useful for someone who is looking for typical questions you’d search on google. I want a book I can trust rather than a google search. Might be easier to read in hard copy then you can skip parts that aren’t relevant.

Pretty basic - the narrator’s voice turned me off
You are better off downloading the what to expect app and sticking to that. I don’t feel like I have learnt much from the book (not the I finished it) plus I couldn’t deal with the narrator’s voice or mannerisms. I personally find them annoying. I needed to fast forward through to bits I felt may be parts I needed to learn about but gave up after a while. If you are someone who knows nothing about babies (ie this is your first stop researching) it may be of use. Otherwise I wouldn’t bother. Download some podcasts and watch internet videos.

Do not listen
This book made me SO paranoid about my pregnancy. They literally list all the ways you could miscarry & made me feel like I couldn’t eat, drink or do anything. I stopped listening as it did more harm than good.
