This is so much more than a guide to exercise after pregnancy!  That’s why I bought it since I am really wanting to get my pre-baby body back, but I am thrilled at all this contains.  I was impressed from early in the book where the author explains how to take care of your back and the safe ways to pick up and move baby along with very wise diaper bag suggestions.  Although I know how to take care of my back from previous back problems, it seems like having a baby made me lose my memory!  I was glad to get the back reminders.  I am also really enjoying the section explaining exercises I can do with my baby while I’m getting back in shape.  I hate doing anything that means I don’t have my baby nearby right now so those exercises are extra valuable along with the yoga stretches for stress.  I’ve found those one are particularly helpful when my baby is fussing just to fuss and I know it’s better just to let her “talk” for a while but sooooo hard to do.  Those yoga poses help me calm and let me baby learn a few minutes of self-soothing at the same time.  Awesome book!
