We are constantly bombarded with information about diet and fitness and how important this is to a healthy lifestyle, and there is an increasing focus on pregnancy as a phase of life when this really matters. Sifting out the evidence-based, accurate information can be a challenge, and that’s where How to Stay Fit and Healthy during Pregnancy comes in. This evidence-based book is for every pregnant woman, and even those who have had no previous interest in exercise and diet will find encouragement to adopt a healthier lifestyle when they are expecting. For those who have been very aware of their fitness and health, there is guidance on how to adjust your regime to pregnancy.

How to Stay Fit and Healthy during Pregnancy takes you right through the nine months of pregnancy,and looks at different ways to keep fit and supple when you are expecting. It explains the current guidance on healthy eating in pregnancy, also covering supplements and complementary therapies. It looks at common health problems that can occur when you are expecting and how best to help yourself through them. How to Stay Fit and Healthy during Pregnancy also recognises the importance of mental health and how this can be affected during and after pregnancy. It takes you through to the birth of your baby and lays the foundations for healthy parenthood ahead.

When I found out I was pregnant I was ecstatic but also uncertain of what to expect in the next 9 months.

How To Stay Fit and Healthy During Pregnancy is an insightful handbook that helped me guide through my first three months so far. As a first time mother-to-be I find the tips on how to exercise and keeping up my fitness very useful.

There's so much information on the internet on what to eat and what to avoid eating while pregnant. The lists are long and often contradictory. Having a reliable source of information is important and that's what you'll find in this book.

The book also touches on how to prepare for birth and provides some useful basic information.

I struggled to concentrate on reading in the past two months due to bad morning sickness, but the colourful photographs and pretty layout make this a comfortable and easy read that I would recommend.

GoodReads, Nadia

With a large proportion of the world's population succumbing to obesity, it's more important than ever, especially for pregnant girls and women, to stay fit - and healthy, of course. Kate's book is practical, informative and educational in a very clear and compelling sort of way. Essential reading for those ladies who are...

Very practical and complete guide, easy to read. Easy for quick consultation. It is very good because it has an integral need of health, since it deals not only with the physical, but also of the emotional. It also deals with more aspects of the day-to-day of pregnancy, which just makes it more practical and complete.
