very calming

loved it! it helped me gather my thoughts and destress. make me keep positive thoughts on my mind

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.

More about the need for mindfulness without much o

Maybe it gets practical at the end and I didn't get there, but most of this book just talks about the benefits of mindfulness during pregnancy which is obvious. If the reader wasn't already looking for mindfulness in pregnancy they wouldn't get this book. Not enough detail on the how. Wondering if this is just an ad for headspace?

Loved this book!

Grateful for a pregnancy book that happens to be written by a man, but isn't condescending or mansplaining AT ALL. Andy does an amazing job.

Loved reading this book during my pregnancy!

Really enjoyed listening to this book at different times throughout the day. Such good advice—I’ll have to listen again and write it down! Also loved the different exercises towards the end. Really makes you realize how important it is to practice mindfulness for your baby.
