About this listen

From the childbirth experts at the Mayo Clinic comes the newly revised guide on planning for a healthy pregnancy. With detailed information about fertility, prenatal care, common pregnancy symptoms, and childbirth, this comprehensive guide will be your go-to source for answering all your ordinary - and not so ordinary - pregnancy questions.

The second edition of Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy dives into the nitty-gritty of motherhood by touching on topics like getting pregnant, using medications safely, proper meal planning and exercise, making important pregnancy decisions, and building beneficial lifestyle habits to help protect the health of your little one. The book features a 40-week pregnancy calendar, where moms-to-be can track their baby's progress, as well as find a thorough analysis of weekly changes to expect over the course of their pregnancy.

Finally, this collective effort from the obstetrics and gynecology experts at the Mayo Clinic covers new information about the latest technologies in prenatal care and childbirth, as well as details the benefits and risks involved with growing trends in childbirth, including topics like home births, placentophagy, and vaginal seeding. Whether you're a first-time parent or simply in need of a refresher, the Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy will provide invaluable advice that you can trust to help give your little one a healthy start.

As the premier pregnancy resource for parents-to-be, this illustrated manual combines expertise from award-winning healthcare professionals with straightforward, easy-to-understand guidance every parent needs to know.

I think this book is great! But, there are notes to the editor that should be edited out.

Good advice, but weird editing

This book has been very useful. I have listened to most of it at this point and have gone back to different parts to reference them again. The sections are well labeled and easy to navigate. I also downloaded what to expect when you're expecting, but I preferred this book and stopped listening to that one.

Definitely recommend

As a first-time expecting mom, it helped my panic and fear a lot. Useful.

Very Helpful

The information in this book is fantastic. However, there are some sections throughout the book where the narrator pauses and verbally gives notes to the editor. The editor clearly did not do their job.

Great Book, Terrible Editing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Not only does the narrator verbally leave notes to the editor a few time, she is obviously not familiar with medical terminology. She misspeaks multiple times and the pronunciation is very irritating. Someone needs to re-edit some of the information as well. Expecting a first OB appointment to be three hours is rediculous. I’ve NEVER seen any appointment allowing that amount of time. Maybe one hour…

Good information but bad editing

I learned so much about pregnancy through this book. It offers information on a wide range of topics and things to expect. It also gives you tips and tricks for those who prefer the more natural, less medicinal side of things (like myself) and those who prefer a more medical route. I really appreciated the non-bias there. There were even things I was unaware of about my own body as a woman that were never taught to me in school or by anyone that made so much sense. As a first time pregnant woman in my 2nd trimester, I am so thankful my husband found this audiobook for us to listen to in preparation for our new baby. Highly recommend!

Very educational, comforting, and empowering

Being pregnant with my first child I have felt an incredible amount of “mom gilt” already. I felt obligated to at least listen to this book since I am a patient at mayo and received a free copy with my first prenatal visit. It was much better than What to Expect When You Are Expecting (would not recommend that to anyone, unless I wanted them to hate themselves). The content of this book was delivered in a somewhat dry manor which I think might have aided in not causing as much “mom stress” but it did make it hard to get through the 20 hours listening time. Overall I feel better for having read/listened to it.

Much preferred listening rather than reading.

Great information and narrator in this book which is only slightly diminished by sloppy editing

Very informative. Poorly edited

Kind of embarrassing for them that whoever they hired to edit clearly did not properly edit this! The speaker left a multitude of notes for the editor that weren’t corrected or removed. Super weird!

They should remove this, edit it, and repost

It is hard to fathom that this book has NO relevant images, charts, graphs, or links, no glossary and no citation page. I have 8 hours left in the book and I logged into Audible on my computer specifically to find some of the (omitted!) images. I feel cheated by the publisher. They didn't even include the INSIPID recipes that almost made me quit listening during the first hour! What am I supposed to do, transcribe them?

This isn't a pulp thriller that I bought to keep myself occupied on a beach. This is, or should be, a serious resource that I can turn to for information over the course of an, absolutely critical, time period in my life. I expected The Mayo Clinic to be a reputable source, even in audio. I am sorely disappointed.

Why aren't any downloadables included?
