Baby Dreams is more than an autobiography; it is a very powerful
exploration into conception and its many hurdles, especially the often undiscussed effects of miscarriage on personal mental health and family.
The debut book provides insight into the various medical procedures Louise Warneford underwent.
The main reason for her eventual success is put down to her testing for ‘killer cells’ by an amazing expert in this area professor Hassan Shehata, who is based in the UK, in Epsom, Surrey. Without his protocol Louise is convinced she would have suffered another failure.

Louise Warneford invites readers into her life with an unapologetically honest delivery. She bares her soul, sharing with the reader sensitive information such as her childhood experiences,
first heartbreaks and tough lessons learnt in life. This merging of excerpts of her personal life
within her fertility story reinforces the fact that for many women fertility issues can consume
lives, making this book a passionate read.
Baby Dreams makes complex medical terminology easy to understand
Often difficult topics are overshadowed by complex medical terminology and overwhelming information, but Baby Dreams is an easy to read, information-packed book that also dives into the sentimental everyday experiences that shape lives.
This personal invitation to her life causes this book to differ from the usual information on
miscarriages, as a sense of humanity is restored in regards to the discussion of fertility issues.
This is done through the use of photographs, offering a refreshing change from medical
diagrams.
Warneford is a down-to-earth narrator, allowing readers to be able to find a piece of themselves in the book, especially with the variety of treatments Louise Warneford underwent such as IVF, IUI, and holistic aides such as juicing. To help other women avoid falling prey to scams or overzealous advertisements Louise provides a realistic review of each as well as the time spans and cost.
Overall Baby Dreams is a wonderful well-rounded book that accurately portrays the highs and lows of fertility journeys whilst also providing easy to understand information regarding the processes she undertook to achieve her baby dream of conceiving William Oliver Warneford.
‘Baby Dreams’ is available via Amazon.
