Maternal Fitness is an excellent combination of exercise, education, and relaxation.

Editorial Reviews Review "Birgitta always encouraged me to work to my capacity during my twin pregnancy. This included listening to my body and resting when necessary. Exercise during pregnancy is a metaphor for life. It can be difficult at times, but you learn to just keep going. When my boys were born, the purpose was clear. The exercise had been for their health as well as mine. This book is full of Birgitta's knowledge and help. You won't find one like it anywhere else!" --Jane Seymour, Actress and mother "...[Birgitta] provides a fresh, new insight into pregnancy fitness, which has been generally lacking from a conventional medical and overly paternalistic approach to pregnancy care." --John F. Kerin, M.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, UCLA School of Medicine, and past director of the Reproductive Medicine Program, Cedar Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles "This book is an excellent, balanced source of information that should find its way to each pregnant woman who desires to remain active in pregnancy." --Raul Artal, M.D., Fellow, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and American College of Sports Medicine Review "Birgitta always encouraged me to work to my capacity during my twin pregnancy.

Editorial Reviews From Library Journal In this fourth revision, some steps of sex-selection have been refined or eliminated over the years, but the accurate determination of time of ovulation remains the basic tenet. The authors endorse the cervical mucous method for ovulation detection and consider other procedures as alternatives or additional means in achieving success. They attribute traditionalists' reticence to providing sex-selection guidelines to a concern for ethical questions of "gendercide," but they argue that most parents do consider sex-selection to balance families. It is an alluring concept, judging by the popularity of previous editions. This updated and moderately priced version is highly recommended for public libraries. - Mary Hemmings, Health Science Lib., McGill Univ., Montreal Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to the Paperback edition. From the Publisher A revised edition of the complete guide to the gender selection method best supported by scientific evidence, with evaluations of home ovulation tests, commercially available gender selection kits, and sophisticated clinical tests.--This text refers to the Paperback edition. |

Reviewer: A reader A very painful divorce and a subsequent tumultuous relationship forced me to face issues I had never faced from my childhood. I read book after book and there were many that helped to uncover what was underneath the behaviors I had developed. But of all the books, I consider this meditation book for Women Who Love Too Much to be my handbook for survival and true change. Whenever I feel myself slipping, I pick up the book and read it from cover to cover. I have many pages dog-eared that are particularly appropriate. I can't recommend it enough. I loved reading this book daily. Some meditations did not "really apply" for my situation but they made me think. It made me realize a lot of things, and I even used some thoughts as quotes that I sent to friends via email. I must say that it is a little book with a lot of wisdom. |
