Pregnancy is an immensely joyful, as well as a stressful time. With the overwhelming amount of information available, how can one ensure the safest possible pregnancy and birth? Alternative Therapies for Pregnancy and Birth is a comprehensive gathering of the various natural therapies available. The book offers a balanced account of the treatments, outlining their benefits, limitations, and appropriateness. It covers all the effective therapies, including aromatherapy, homeopathy, massage, nutritional therapy, Alexander technique, and yoga, general guidelines for a healthy pregnancy, including nutrition, exercise and rest, and special conditions, and motherhood as a lifestyle issue, including relationship changes and getting to know your baby.
