I am so excited to tell you about my first book – The Pregnancy Weight Plan.
The concept for writing this book came about as I repeatedly heard my clients say that they regret not maintaining more control over their weight during their pregnancies.
Gaining too much weight during pregnancy increases your risk of gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, having an emergency caesarean, developing a thromboembolism (DVT), miscarriage, birth defects and long term weight gain to name just a few of the side effects.
With 74% of Australian women gaining too much weight during pregnancy, this book is a ‘must read’ for any woman wanting to have a baby.
Available at all good booksellers or purchase the iBooks or Kindle editions online.
