Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Help from your own "pregnancy trainer"!
Encouraging, witty, understanding, calm-Betty Parsons is someone pregnant women love to listen to. During her long career, Betty has coached more than 20,000 women through childbirth. Now, with Preparing for Childbirth, you can take advantage of her unique insights and practical suggestions to get ready for one of the most exciting experiences of your life-having a baby.
Betty takes the mystery out of labor, so you'll know what to expect, what to do, and how to meet the challenge with confidence instead of fear. Expectant fathers will learn how they can support their partners in the best possible way.
This charmingly illustrated book will help both of you learn what changes to expect as the months pass and how to cope with them, from emotional swings to physical discomforts to typical annoyances (including relatives who say the wrong things or visitors who drop by at the wrong time). Betty's tone is so sensitive and personal, you'll consider her your own "pregnancy trainer"!
At the heart of it all is Betty's own formula for proper breathing and relaxation, which can be used throughout pregnancy, during labor-and after. She proves that learning to take good care of your emotional needs during pregnancy is every bit as important as proper nutrition, exercise and checkups are to your physical health.
