Exercising Through Your Pregnancy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is excellent!
With my first pregnancy, I got so frustrated following the ACOG recommendations for exercise that I stopped working out.It was just too boring to go for a "brisk" walk.
This bookhelped me to realize that its o.k. to continue running throughout mypregnancy (which I'm still doing at 26 weeks).Dr. Clapp has references tomany women who are very active throughout their pregnancies, with *postive*effects on their pregnancy: less weight gain (but still a healthy amount)and giving birth earlier but still full term (37 to 42 weeks is consideredterm - exercisers tend to be closer to the 37/38 week mark in hisstudies).
Enough motivation in this book to keep you sweating right upuntil the day you deliever!

Big, Beautiful, and Pregnant: Expert Advice and Comforting Wisdom for the Expecting Plus-Size Woman Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really enjoyed this book.It hads lots of good info about staying healthy, eating right, & exercising during pregnancy.It also did not beat overweight women up for wanting a child or becoming pregnant.I love the fact that an ob/gyn and a plus-sized mom contributed.The book outlines truthfully the risks of pregnancy to overweight women & their babies, but gives practical ways to minimize the risks.It was upbeat, and a fast, easy read that I will probably return to many times.
