Sailing Smoothly Through Pregnancy (Paperback)

The aim of this book is to give practical tips to the expectant mother that would help her cope with the bewildering changes that occur in her body and allay her apprehensions so that she no longer fears the unknown. Myths and taboos that have been handed down the generations in the Indian subcontinent have been given special attention.

The book covers all matters relevant to pregnancy ranging from morning sickness, stretch marks, regular antenatal visits to the hospital, red alerts and the father's role in pregnancy. It teaches morale boosting and relaxation techniques that would surely help the pregnant lady tide over the most trying period of life. After delivery the new mother is taken through the immediate postpartum period and taught to deal with the joys and travails of motherhood. Last but not the least is the fitness program that would make her experience the pleasure of fitting into her pre-pregnancy clothes.
