The author writes as though we are children
The writing and reading style is overly cutesy makes me cringe. I can't listen to it any more. The author writes and reads as though the readers/listeners are children. For example, the experience of morning sickness is constantly referred to as "a case of the queezies" and "tummy troubles". I'm a grown woman and just because I'm pregnant does not mean that I've lost my ability to understand nausea and anatomical terms like stomach.
Additionally, as a listening experience, the Q&A sections are hard to navigate. Much of it is not be relevant to each person. It requires constant fast forwarding and you never know what questions are next. The excerpts for male partners are sparse and patronizing (which is hilarious). It is written with the unsympathetic, uninvolved, and clueless stereotype of a male in mind. These also assume there is a male partner or Daddy. Some folks are going at it alone and some folks are not partnered with males.

Narration Grating, Tone Somewhat Condescending
I know this is supposed to be the pregnancy bible, but I am not a fan.
I gave it overall 3 stars because the information is there, but I was really not a fan of the narration. I usually can listen to audiobooks for hours while I clean, take walks, commute etc, but the author's voice has a tone to it that would cause my ears to hurt. If I listened too long (in my case about an hour), I started getting a headache. The author is not the only narrator. There was a woman who seemed to pipe in with the more science type passages. I MUCH preferred her voice.
I also felt like the author was condescending but trying to hide it with obnoxious, cutesy expressions and puns. The condescending tone is in the language, but I think having the author read the book herself made it more obvious. For a pregnancy bible, I would like the information without the undertones of "this is what you should do if I were you".
I listened to this book because my husband and I are preparing to have children. I should note that I'm also a fan of the Great Courses and listened to the book Scientific Secrets for Raising Kids Who Thrive. In that book, some interesting pregnancy information was provided, and I wanted to get more scientific information specifically targeted to pregnancy. Since this is the pregnancy bible, this is where I started. I would say the book is science-lite mixed in with those infantile expressions (I plan on having an infant, that doesn't mean I want to be talked to like an infant) and suggestions. I suspect there has been criticism in the past because there were several times when the author made statements at the beginning amounting to "even if you are from (insert nontraditional background or role here) this book is still for you".
I'm disappointed because I was hoping for something that provided the facts and information without an agenda. I will say that compared to other books, the agenda is not as in your face, but the agenda while more subtle is still there. (Not going to lie, I wish there were a Great Courses version of this...)
I was happy to encounter more modern day topics such as the low carb (keto) diet, paleo, and raw food diets as well as things like e-cigarettes discussed (even though none of them apply to me). They seemed to be trying to address modern issues that are coming up.

Great resource...with some caveats
I would not recommend getting this book as an audio book. There's just TOO much content and there's no value add from listening. In fact, you'll be able to skim through it and only focus on what's relavent to you with a hard copy.
There's a lot here, which is why this book is still so popular. There's some things that they did surprisingly well, like their coverage of post partum health for mom - especially mental health.
But there's a number of areas where the advice they give is too conservative for my taste. For example, there was a section on food where they cautioned against the health food aisle because there haven't been studies on things like the safety of herbal teas or flax seed. I don't recall them spending ANY time discussing why there's a natural child birth movement. There was no discussion regarding the negative consequences of epidurals, which made me scratch my head since she literally cautioned against too much mint tea. I'm not against epidurals, I believe to each their own, but understanding why some people are concerned is helpful and important information. I also don't recall much discussion on the rising popularity of doulas. There were pieces here regarding exercise that made me too nervous to continue many of my regular activities, which my doctor ultimately didn't agree with.
The book also chooses to cover SO much which means that there's not a lot of depth in a lot of areas. Moreover, there's not a lot of WHY. If understanding the logic, numbers and research is important to you, I strongly suggest reading Expecting Better by Emily Oster. Surprisingly this book actually provided more info on the labor and delivery process than this one.
All in all this is a good resource, but please don't let it be your only one!

Too much of everything and not enough specifics
It feels like the reason this book has been so successful is because it has a great title.
This book covers pregnancy in broad strokes. It spends a lot of time on what to eat, and jumps back to eating often. It also spends a lot of time on beauty upkeep. Which I find to be annoying. It’s hard to skip through the BS because of it being an audible. I also find the over use of baby puns annoying.
It also is written to speak to a very traditional family archetype. They clearly made an addition to it where they said hey— this is to represent all families even though we say mom and dad throughout the entire book. Just pretend we’re talking to you & your circumstance. Woo woo.
I am certain there are better pregnancy books than this one. Save your credits and find one. This is one feels dated, despite being updated often and tries to hard to cover a very broad audience.

least helpful book on pregnancy
After becoming pregnant I reached for this book as if it were the bible of pregnancy. It's the most common known and I assumed for a good reason. This book filled me with fear and uncertainty within the first 15 min of reading. Definitely wouldn't recommend. There are so many wonderful pregnancy books available. From the hips being my most favorites and easily digestible.

Informative But Not Reference Based
The author uses a lot of "Some Doctors" and "a study" and "Should", not a lot of references as to which ones. Also, the book is riddled with cliches that would make your middle school teacher flunk your paper. Overall a better paperback than an audio book.

not all authors should be narrators
I couldn't finish it. The narration was so mind-numbing that my pregnant brain always shut down and it lulled me to sleep. The book is great, but the audiobook is not one I can recommend. (Written by Sam's wife)

Terrible narrator!
The narrator of this title is very difficult to listen to and has a grating and annoying voice. Instead of letting the author narrate her own book, they should have hired a professional!

Obvious statements with overly technical jargon
Spent hours talking about common sense ideas like not drinking or doing drugs. Of course that's bad! I know learned nothing about this process because this was either overtly obvious Do's and Don'ts with opinionated non factual based statistics like what to eat and in what quantity. No one is measuring Everything they eat for 9-10 months and what qualifies you to say stay away from 'Google' when you yourself have no educational background or expertise to speak of. You wrote this book for complete idiots who will throw money at a problem rather than seeking expert medical advise.

nutrition information is about 30yrs behind
Nutritional formation is so far from correct. It reads like notes after drinks with the girls and a good gossip. Truly the opposite of correct information.
Advocating grain consumption in high doses is one example. Grain and especially whole grain has been definitively shown to block 100% of the absorption of nutrients with double positive ions, such as zinc electrolytes and others. So your baby essentially becomes malnutrished by these foods even if you eat the right food along side of it.
Being told to eat lean meat too is wrong. Every cell in the body needs fat to function. Fat is also responsible for delivering fat soluble and vital vitamins such as K2, D3, A, B's and more.
Being told to eat carrot cake instead of normal cake is also wrong. Going back to the issue with grain, flower is powdered grain and thus is a major problem in it creates a malnourished mother and fetus.
Most people might think there is nothing left to eat other than these category of food but you couldn't be more wrong. look up Dr. Paul Saladino and his interview with Dr. Jaime Seeman, the latter being a qualified and well respected obstetrician and nutritionist.

The narrator's voice hurts your ears
The poor lady narrating has a voice that sounds worse than fingernails on a chalkboard... It is more of a squawking sound from a dying bird than a voice you can listen to for hours on end. she also shouts at a speed simular to that of a teenage YouTuber trying to sell you there 100% guaranteed 10x NFT... Reading the reviews from others, this seems to be the case for all... We could listen to more than 15mins...
