Review: A must read for expectant mums! - 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.
Review: Highly recommended reading material - Brilliant Book, i'm really not much of a book reader but this really helped clarify and calm me down through my first pregnancy!
