How to navigate to different parts and sections of the What to Expect series
What to listen to when you or someone you love is expecting
When you’re pregnant for the first time, you can feel a little alone—despite having the constant company of a fellow traveler. Since it’s such a "natural" part of the human experience, it feels like you should "naturally" know and be able to respond to the changes that are going on inside—and outside—your body. Enter: the reassuring voice of Heidi Murkoff, whose words have for 35 years guided and consoled expectant moms into this new realm of parenthood. Now, along with a dozen other narrators—including her own daughter, Emma—you get to hear quite literally from the experts on everything from prenatal testing basics, to newly added topics such as alternative medicine, IVF, and hypnobirthing. And dads-to-be, there’s plenty for you here, too. Did I hear someone say "listening date?"

About the Author
It all started with a baby and a book. Heidi Murkoff conceived the idea for What to Expect When You’re Expecting during her first pregnancy, when she couldn’t find answers in the books she turned to for much-needed advice. Now with five editions and more than 19 million copies in print, the book—widely dubbed the pregnancy bible
—is the longest-running title of all time on the New York Times best-seller list. Heidi expanded the world’s popular pregnancy and parenting series—which has sold more than 42 million copies in 38 countries and 34 languages—with What to Expect the First Year, Eating Well When You’re Expecting, and the pregnancy prequel,
What to Expect Before You’re Expecting. Adapting her brand across new platforms, she created WhatToExpect.com, which features the #1 rated pregnancy app and is home to an active community of 13 million moms. She personally answers questions from the community in her weekly column, Help Me, Heidi. Her iconic book was also adapted into a feature-length comedy in 2012 starring Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, and Chris Rock. Heidi’s passionate commitment to moms and babies led to the creation of the What to Expect Project, a nonprofit dedicated to helping mothers in need expect healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries. So far, the Project’s groundbreaking Baby Basics has supported more than 950,000 expectant at-risk moms-to-be in the US, Liberia, and Bangladesh. The WTE Project has also teamed with International Medical Corps to provide life-saving maternal-child healthcare and midwife training in Africa and the Middle East, and Heidi serves as a First Responder with this team of humanitarian healthcare workers. In partnership with the USO, she and her husband Erik created Special Delivery, a program that celebrates and supports expectant military moms, active duty and spouses—hosting more than 170 baby showers at bases around the world over the last six years. Heidi actively advocates on a variety of issues impacting families, from healthcare to childcare to prison reform to Zika virus, meeting and appearing often with members of Congress. In 2011, Time magazine named Heidi one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World
—though she prefers to be known as a mom on a mission.

I learned a lot. I wish there were separate part for the dad.
Repetitive
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Also, I was not a fan of the reader’s voice. It was quite high-pitched and struck me as whiny at times. There were many parts that I might have skipped had I been reading it, but I listened to and didn’t get much out of. Regardless, it’s an all-encompassing pregnancy handbook for those who want to learn more!
Too much important information for an audiobook!

Additionally, as a listening experience, the Q&A sections are hard to navigate. Much of it is not be relevant to each person. It requires constant fast forwarding and you never know what questions are next. The excerpts for male partners are sparse and patronizing (which is hilarious). It is written with the unsympathetic, uninvolved, and clueless stereotype of a male in mind. These also assume there is a male partner or Daddy. Some folks are going at it alone and some folks are not partnered with males.
