About this listen

Get Some Headspace is the ultimate guide to improving your life with just 10 minutes of meditation each day. Now founder of Headspace, Andy Puddicombe, teaches you how to remain mindful during pregnancy, childbirth and the early days of parenthood.

The Mindful Pregnancy is the concise and practical guide to achieving and maintaining mindfulness throughout every stage of having a baby. With helpful exercises for both mother to be and her partner, Andy shows how to live mindfully and get the most from pregnancy and the early days of parenthood.

From creating the right conditions for conception and reducing anxiety around pregnancy and birth to managing pain in labour and promoting well-being for mother and baby in the first hours, days and weeks after birth, Andy's simple and empowering exercises have been created to give both mother and baby a gentle, happy and positive experience.

This book was more than I thought it was going to be. I have previously tried to engage with mindfulness practice and to do this through the lens of conception pregnancy and labour was a really helpful anchor for me.

This book was reassuring and genuine without being preachy or too restrictive.

I feel like I have learnt some skills that will genuinely help in life, not just pregnancy and understand this view of mindfulness much clearer than before.

Excellent Introduction to Mindfulness for all Stages of Pregnancy

I found this book was really good as a first timer, just hearing someone speak about the anxieties that come up. It was for me more a gateway into other things such as hypnobirthing.

Really therapeutic for pregnancy

What did you like best about The Headspace Guide to...A Mindful Pregnancy? What did you like least?

This is a decent listen, however it can be summed up succinctly as "meditation is a great thing to do, and headspace is a great app to guide you". If you meditate, it will help you in all areas ofyour life, but different techniques do target different things so the meditations are useful. Some reassuring bits in there about thoughts not being the definer of your existence. That's a very useful thing to know and remember at all times of your life, but especially during the more stressful ones!

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

No ending really as this wasn't a story...

Did Andy Puddicombe and Jane Collingwood do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?

Not applicable

Was The Headspace Guide to...A Mindful Pregnancy worth the listening time?

Yes it was

Any additional comments?

Worth a listen if you fancy it, some useful anecdotes in there from various ppl too

I dont usually write reviews if im honest but this book resonated with me so much! It allows you to not be overjoyed your pregnant, to not feel guilty with not enjoying pregnancy ! Basically it was practical ways to increase mindfulness in pregnancy without expecting you to feel a certain way!

Loved it!

Fantastic!

Started out ok but very repetitive and I found it to be quite patronising talking about diet in pregnancy for health of baby etc but most women can’t eat healthy in pregnancy as their body only wants bland food etc. very repetitive but doesn’t actually give much tips to actually practice mindfulness.

Not great very patronising

It repeats again and again what mindfulness is, without actually offering any or helping you in any way, couldn’t listen past the first hour. I’d like my credit back

Not good

Sorry but it annoyed me to hear a cis man telling me about pregnancy. I bet he has good intentions and he probably has helped a lot of people but this not the book for me right now.

Written by a man

A little bit patronising at times, I was not overly impressed, unfortunately. Didn’t listen beyond chapter 14

Not fussed on this.

I found the male narrators voice harsh and patronising.
I wanted to listen to this to calm me as I’m quite anxious in early pregnancy. However I didn’t find it relaxing to listen to, his voice grated on me and I had to turn it off.

I didn’t like it
