STUDENT OF THE SUBJECT

This a really good book to have as well. I still recommed other books. This should be in your connection as well. At first, I didn't want read/buy it/take it of the library. I'm glad I finally saw it and bought, currently reading it. I'm really enjoying it. Before I read this I read Zita West's newest book on Fertitly and Conception: Complete Guide on Pregnant. Which was wonderful as well. Thank you. Also recommended: DK/Johnsons Mother and Baby, Carol Cooper, MD, Editor, Paula M Elbirt, MD, Constutant.

Wonderful Book

I truly enjoyed this book and found it to be invaluable during my twin pregnancy. It is a good resource guide with beautiful photographs; and it is written without the self-righteous tone found in other *holistic-oriented* books. Although I'm not an advocate for the use of the term "natural" (which I think is a rather subjective and broad term), I found the suggested complementary therapies for various pregnancy and post partum related conditions extremely helpful.

Enhancing the Experience with Alternative Therapies

Zita West works as a midwife and acupuncturist. Over the years she has observed a growing interest in holistic remedies. This is quite important during pregnancy as women are seeking natural products, non-invasive treatments and drug-free methods of pain relief that will not harm their babies. She has organized her book, trimester by trimester, so you can follow along and not miss an important aspect of your pregnancy. After all, once the first trimester is over, you are onto the second! In fact, if you are like me, you are reading all these books before even thinking about getting pregnant. Strangely, they seem to be a great form of birth control. Pregnancy is not as easy as it looks. Sure, for most people, it is easy to get pregnant, but what do you do then? If you are like many women who want to plan out their lives to the very second in order to taste life to the fullest, you will enjoy this book as it gives detailed information, comprehensive nutrition plans and exercise suggestions. Along with all the information you really need to know, there are also tips on how to boost your immunity or how to minimize morning sickness. This book also explains your baby's development. The Contents include: Planning for Conception & Pregnancy - how to improve fertility, avoid pollution and reduce stress. Nutrition - Ideally you should be at peak health before pregnancy. Boosting Immunity - How to eat for health and boost the immune system with pressure therapy. Illness during Pregnancy - What do you do if you get a cold and can't take any of the remedies you took before you were pregnant. The First Trimester - You may want to consult other book for the week by week pictures, but this gives a basic overview of your baby's development. Nutrition, exercise and common problems are discussed in each section. The Second Trimester - A discussion of heartburn and Anemia. Discussion on how acupuncture, massage and yoga can help backache. How you can use hydrotherapy to help reduce varicose veins. What about depression? The Third Trimester - Sleeplessness, Skin Problems, Stress & Anxiety, High Blood Pressure, Leg cramps, How to get a Breech baby to turn, Respirator problems. Preparation for Labor & Baby - Detailed discussion of the Placenta, how to detoxify the body, the last few weeks of pregnancy, preparing your mind, natural pain relief, stages of labor. Postpartum Period - Ok, this section makes you want to get pregnant. It is a conspiracy. Here they tell you about the day-by-day developments and a contented mother holds her child and looks so loving and happy. There is a discussion of Postpartum exercise, nutrition and how to solve problems in this time. Breast-feeding problems are discussed. You might want to choose acupuncture, homeopathy or western herbalism.
