Description
A healthy pregnancy and a safe, satisfying birth rarely just "happen." This well-researched book was written with honesty and humor by the Director of St. Croix Birth & Parenting, a certified childbirth educator and mother of 5. Christelle shows soon-to-be moms and dads the importance of daily decisions for reaching the healthy, natural pregnancy and birth you desire--and gives you a proven road map for achieving your goals. Expectant couples will learn the 3 most important decisions you make that may help keep your pregnancy normal and maximize the likelihood of a safe, meaningful natural childbirth! Instead of giving you a guilt trip or setting out unreasonable expectations, Proactive Pregnancy tells you about the prenatal choices associated with the best outcomes, then encourages you to start where you are and take "baby steps" as you make healthier choices for the good of yourself and your growing baby. The perfect choice for expectant couples at any stage of pregnancy: the earlier, the better! Full color, beautiful illustrations throughout. Spiral bound, viii+67pp. (2010)
Review:
"I never did get the chance to tell you how much I enjoyed your book!! I thought it was so well done and so professional. I only wish I had read it before I even had [Baby #1]. It was a great reminder of things even this late in my current pregnancy. The nutritional information was great and that's where I struggle the most when it comes to being pregnant.... Your whole concept of "proactive pregnancy" can easily be seen throughout the whole book and I love it. Pregnancy is not something that's happening to you (well, kinda, but you know what I mean), but something that involves your active participation in and cooperation with.... All this to say, I loved your book, wish I had read it sooner."
