Produktbeschreibung

Bloomsbury presents Stronger by Megan Vickers, read by Joanna Eliot. Full of stuff I wish I'd known. Should be on every mother's bedside table.'- Emma Redding, Buggyfit Founder Pregnancy and birth can stretch our bodies to their limit and beyond. Incontinence, birth injuries and birth traumas have been a taboo topic for far too long, and, until now, this has prevented women from fully regaining their strength. Stronger is the must-read guide to the bodily changes encountered by all women following pregnancy, with explanations, exercises and friendly, accessible advice to protect, stabilise and rehabilitate. It's time to treat what we pretend not to see, to let the help in and to grow stronger. Let's start now.

Rezensionen

So friendly and perfectly no-nonsense. It's full of stuff I wish I'd known. This book gives you the confidence to take control of your own rehabilitation (and the nod when to ask for help and who to ask). Stronger should be on every mother's bedside table.
