Doctors frequently warn women to slow down and rest during prengancy. But years of scientific research-and the personal experiences of Olympic runner Shannon Rowbury and pelvic health expert Jessica Dorrington- show that pregnant women's bodies are capable of so much more. Strong as a Mother provides evidence-based, empowering information that challenges outdated notions of pregnancy as a time of limitation. By combining Olympic-level athletic experience with specialised medical knowledge, this book offers a unique, authoritative perspective that will revolutionise how women approach fitness during pregnancy and postpartum.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Strong as a Mother is the guide I wish I had-medically grounded, athlete-tested, and deeply empowering. It gives you clear, confidence-building guidance to keep moving throughout pregnancy and into postpartum."
-Allyson Felix, 11-time Olympic medalist, cofounder of Saysh, cofounder of Always Alpha
"As essential to me in my pregnancy as a pair of running shoes is in a marathon buildup! I honestly don't know what I would do without this guidance-it's transformed my entire pregnancy experience from uncertainty to complete confidence."
-Jordan Hogan, Boston Marathon bronze medalist
"The pregnancy book that finally answers 'what can I actually do?' instead of listing everything you can't. Strong as a Mother empowers women with expert, science-backed guidance to move with confidence, strength, and trust in their bodies-during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond."
-Dr. Rachel Goldman, PhD clinical psychologist and author of When Life Happens
