Description
The definitive guide to prenatal and postpartum fitness! Olympian expertise meets pelvic health expertise to empower women of all fitness levels to embrace their strongest, healthiest pregnancy and recovery. Doctors frequently warn women to slow down and rest during pregnancy. But years of scientific research--and the personal experiences of Olympic runner Shannon Rowbury and pelvic health expert Jessica Dorrington-- show that pregnant women's bodies are capable of so much more. Strong as a Mother provides evidence-based, empowering information that challenges outdated notions of pregnancy as a time of limitation. Anyone who has been pregnant has experienced the anxiety of not knowing for sure whether their favorite exercise activity is safe. Now, by combining Olympic-level athletic experience with specialized medical knowledge, this book offers a unique, authoritative perspective that will revolutionize how women approach fitness during pregnancy and postpartum.

Critical Reviews
"Strong as a Mother is the guide I wish I had--medically grounded, athlete-tested, and deeply empowering. It gives you clear, confidence-building guidance to keep moving throughout pregnancy and into postpartum."
--Allyson Felix, 11-time Olympic medalist, cofounder of Saysh, cofounder of Always Alpha
"As essential to me in my pregnancy as a pair of running shoes is in a marathon buildup! I honestly don't know what I would do without this guidance--it's transformed my entire pregnancy experience from uncertainty to complete confidence."
--Jordan Hogan, Boston Marathon bronze medalist "The pregnancy book that finally answers 'what can I actually do?' instead of listing everything you can't. Strong as a Mother empowers women with expert, science-backed guidance to move with confidence, strength, and trust in their bodies--during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond."
