Synopsis

Among women there used to be a 'common' sense of what was appropriate, effective and safe in pregnancy and birth. Today, common sense has given way to expert opinion. Pat Thomas's excellent guide hopes to restore a little balance. It will provide women with the resources they need not only to cope with, but to enjoy, their pregnancy. The author treats pregnancy as a state of health, suggesting practical guidelines for good diet and gentle exercises while offering sensible advice for common complaints that may occur. She also deals with the mother's emotional wellbeing both during and after pregnancy and looks sympathetically at the role of the man and how it can be enhanced to the benefit of both parents. Written in a supportive and easy style, the book includes helpful nutritional, useful addresses and further reading. Other titles in the series 'The Common Sense Approach Sleep' , 'Stress' , 'Headaches' , 'Addiction' , 'Men's Health' and 'Depression'.
