Parenting Pointers: What to Expect Available on Audible for Mother's Day

Audible Inc., the world’s largest producer and provider of downloadable audiobooks and other spoken-word entertainment, today announced that What to Expect When You’re Expecting, What to Expect the First Year, and What to Expect Before You’re Expecting, will be released for the first time ever in digital audio on May 7^th. These much anticipated productions will be available exclusively from Audible, just in time for Mother’s Day, and can be preordered now at www.audible.com/wte. 

These exclusive editions of the What to Expect audiobooks, performed by author Heidi Murkoff along with a full cast, are completely revised and updated, filled with must-have information, advice, insight, and tips for a new generation of moms and dads – everything a parent or parent-to-be wants and needs to know. With What to Expect’s trademark warmth, empathy, and humor, it answers every conceivable question expecting parents could have, including dozens of new ones based on the ever-changing pregnancy, birthing, and parenting choices they face: water births to gentle cesareans, baby-wearing to baby-led weaning...to what exactly you should do with that placenta. Also, the latest-breaking medical recommendations on everything from prenatal testing to vaccines to Zika virus, and the low-down on lifestyle trends, from vaping to eating raw. Advice for dads is fully integrated throughout the books, and gay couples are supported on their journeys to parenthood.

These Audible books also feature the ability to navigate by chapter so that listeners can skip right to the portions that are most immediately relevant to them for reference, a tremendous and much anticipated resource for families, as listening enables parents to catch up hands-free on needed guidance anytime, anywhere, and with convenience and ease (like at 3 a.m. when you’re trying to take your crying baby’s temperature…or you’ve got leg cramps that won’t quit).
