## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read for expectant mums!
*by A***Y on 16 July 2025*

I really appreciated Expecting Better. As an analyst, I liked how it broke down the data behind common pregnancy advice, but what stood out was how easy it was to read. It’s not dry or overly technical—just clear, sensible, and genuinely useful. I think it would be helpful for anyone who wants to feel more informed and in control during pregnancy, whether or not they usually read research.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everybody trying for a baby needs to read this
*by C***M on 8 May 2025*

My sister recommended this book to me and now I want to recommend it to everyone expecting or trying for a baby, including men! It completely debunks all of the myths we’ve been fed about trying to conceive and what we should and shouldn’t be doing whilst pregnant. Using insights from sooo much research, it’s crazy that no one hasn’t thought to do this before. Game changer of a book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A book to make you grateful for the NHS
*by C***E on 6 May 2024*

This book is informative and reassuring - but mostly just makes you grateful that we have the NHS with its central and well evidenced guidance, versus what appears to be the Wild West of healthcare in the US. All guidance seems to be pretty in line with what the NHS tell you, however a digestible and easy to read way to read up on academic research into pregnancy and childbirth. Limited adaptation evident for the UK market. Not a book to prioritise if you’ve got a long list!
