Fitmama Strong Durham's Top 5 Recommended Reads for Pregnant People
Welcome to pregnancy! What an exciting, yet overwhelming time. Most of the pregnant people I know are eager to find out as much information as they can in preparation for the big day. If you are like most of them, then you are likely spending a tremendous amount of time doing random google searches. In my experience, this search for knowledge ends up confusing and overwhelming most expectant moms who are looking for reliable and helpful information. It can also decrease one's confidence in their ability to give birth, which is counter productive! To save you time and to help build confidence in your ability to give birth, I have compiled my Top 5 Resources on all things related to pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding. Check them out today! All of the books can be borrowed from your local library or purchased at your favourite bookstore.
