Everything that Nobody Tells You about pregnancy, going back to work after having a baby, and everything in between.

It’s no secret, becoming a parent is a privilege and a joy but it can also be a struggle. At every stage from getting pregnant, being pregnant, giving birth, to the postnatal period you are met with advice on what to do and what not to do and it seems like everyone has an opinion even if they are not a parent.

This collection brings together more than 100 honest accounts from the likes of Molly Gunn, Megan Rose Lane, Dr Stepanie Ooi and Victoria Eames. You won’t find any scaremongering or sugar coating in this book – just reassuring ad practical advice from experts alongside personal stories that prove there’s no “right” way to do it.

Inspired by her own experience and frustration at the lack of honest information, Becca Maberly, pregnancy and postnatal expert and the founder of A Mother Place, together with Roger Marwood, an obstetrician and gynaecologist, comped this collection about the highs and lows of the unique and often nerve-wracking journey to parenthood.

Together, with the help of a range of contributors, they share their reliable, evidence based advice with positivity and a good dose of humour. Whether you’re thinking about having a baby, you are already pregnant, or you have become a parent recently, this book is an invaluable guide.
