Emch, MDElizabeth's book not only prepared me physically for labor and delivery, but gave me confidence to have a natural childbirth. I even used some of her exercises to help alleviate the pain of back labor. After having my baby, I especially found the exercise log sheets helpful in tracking my postpartum exercises that she suggests. I feel so fortunate to have tapped Elizabeth's incredible wealth of knowledge on what my pre- and post- pregnancy body is able to achieve. --A. Cumming, clientElizabeth: Wonderful book!
