Praise for Marie Louise: ‘Marie is so informative and taught me so many things I had NO idea about!’ Zoe Sugg (Zoella), award-winning vlogger and author ‘I have felt really well prepared with this book. It removes a lot of pressure and uncertainty and is really clear and helpful! A very calm voice to guide you through all 3 trimesters (and beyond)’ 5-star reader review ‘[The] only pregnancy book you need to read!’ 5-star reader review ‘[A] must have for expectant parents ! The perfect amount of information in each area (pregnancy, birth, postpartum)… really can’t recommend it enough’ 5-star reader review ‘I would highly recommend this book for any expecting mum .’ 5-star reader review ‘[An] absolute essential for childbirth … I feel so much more informed and comfortable going into this now.’ 5-star reader review Review: The Only Book We Need! - Excellent - 10/10!! Only book we need. A comprehensive guide to pregnancy, from start to finish, and the early days (we'll also be purchasing Marie Louise's book on the first year) I was a bit surprised by reviews saying that it didn't cover caesareans. I found the book to be very reassuring and it's given us confidence to pull together a birth plan which prepares for all eventualities, including caesarean. I'm very content to stick with just this book, the support and advice of our midwife, and one of the tracking apps, which give you a reference each week of how big your growing baby is (though if the author decided to create one, I'd jump straight on!) Bought both the paperback and the Kindle book! 100% recommend. Review: Must have for expectant parents! - This book is amazing, the perfect amount of information in each area (pregnancy, birth, postpartum) and easy to absorb a little bit at a time. Perfect balance of reassuring and realistic, I’ve read this early in my pregnancy and will keep coming back to it as I progress. Also love that the author is an NHS midwife, she gives a much more realistic overview of my experience compared to other books. Really can’t recommend it enough for expectant parents, this book has made me even more excited for all aspects of pregnancy and motherhood. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,411 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 4 in Breastfeeding (Books) 4 in Baby Development 5 in Pregnancy & Childbirth | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,466 Reviews | ## Images ![The Modern Midwife's Guide to Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond: The Essential and Empowering Guide to Pregnancy and Parenthood - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FtOcc6gXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Only Book We Need! *by K***N on 6 January 2026* Excellent - 10/10!!
