A must read for those who interact/instruct pregnant women!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Essential Exercises for the Childbearing Year: A Guide to Health and Comfort Before and After Your Baby is Born (Paperback)
I am a physical therapist who has used this book as a basis for my "Prenatal exercise and Body Mechanics" Class. I have recommended it to my patients and to other professionals who teach prenatal classes. The author adds a unique perspective by inviting women to "think outside of the box" and take responsibility for their bodies before, during and after their pregnancy. The partner exercises are very well received by my patients (our hospital averages 300 births per month). I am also the mother of 21 month old triplets and I used the book as a personal reference and guide throughout my pregnancy. The book helped me to understand and appreciate just how fortunate we are as women to be able to bear children. The author's detailed description about the pelvic floor and the emphasis on the importance of the exercises is information that should be shared with young women BEFORE their pregnancy. I have been surprised by the number of my patients who have never heard of Kegel exercises or who have no idea they have a pelvic floor! A great book to pass along to all women!

Great exercises and a good start to holistic prenatal care,
By A Customer
This review is from: Essential Exercises for the Childbearing Year: A Guide to Health and Comfort Before and After Your Baby is Born (Paperback)
Elizabeth's book is a classic in the childbirth field. Her book is the sourcebook for prenatal exercises. I also appreciate the introduction to holistic prenatal care that she provides. Hypnosis is highly effective during pregnancy as studies have shown, Her writing on communication with the unborn baby taps into the most modern research on this topic. Elizabeth Noble has her finger on the pulse of what will be really important in prenatal care for the 21st Century. I recommend this book most highly.Lewis Mehl-Madrona, M,D, Ph.D. Medical Director Center for Complementary Medicine University of Pittsburgh Medical Center

Wish I had found this book sooner!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Essential Exercises for the Childbearing Year: A Guide to Health and Comfort Before and After Your Baby is Born (Paperback)
I found this book 9 weeks after giving birth because I needed the chapter on Cesarean recovery. That chapter alone was worth the cost of the book. However, I also found interesting information in the pregnancy chapters as well. I like the way the author explains WHY each exercise is beneficial.
