10 Pregnancy Books That Every Mama Needs
I believe that knowledge is power.
Since college, I’ve always had my nose buried in a book so I can continue to enhance the lives of my pregnant and postpartum clients. I used to spend hours at night losing myself in a prenatal page-turner.
After seeing the information that was out there, I knew I had to create a resource so expecting mamas can have a healthier pregnancy.
I’m happy to report that all of those late nights of reading paid off and I became a published author sharing a step-by-step guide on how to prepare the pregnant body for an easier delivery and faster recovery.
*I was able to make my unique way of training available for moms everywhere!*
Once I finally got my book published, I couldn’t stop.
So I decided to bring my book to life by creating the Knocked-Up Fitness online prenatal membership! But like I said, I believe that knowledge is power…so you can still find me today getting lost in the pages of countless pregnancy books.
I could go on and on about the countless pregnancy books I’ve read to better the health of myself and my clients, but if I had to narrow it down, these would be my top ten favorite books for mothers (in alphabetical order):
