The Pregnancy Myths Guide

A groundbreaking pregnancy book for a modern generation of mothers, to find confidence and calm, your way.

The Pregnancy Myths Guide is a psychology-based, research-informed, relatable guide for women unsure about the rules of pregnancy, struggling with how things ‘should’ be, tired of conflicting advice, or wanting to do things differently this time around. Pregnancy is not always a glowing, picture-perfect experience; for many, it’s messy, confusing, and mentally exhausting.

Clinical and perinatal psychologist Dr Emma Black offers a practical approach to understand helpful truths from unhelpful myths, empowering mothers to become more flexible with expectations, emotions, and experiences as they move through pregnancy.

The book is divided into:

• Part One: Fifteen pregnancy myths are debunked, giving you a validating, supportive guide for a pregnancy free from unnecessary stresses.
• Part Two: Introduces psychological skills to help you overcome the pregnancy myths that don’t serve you.

You deserve the greatest start to growing your family, free from unnecessary expectations and stress. This book will make every parent feel less alone and more empowered – because one size does not fit all.
