Its okay, wanted more information,
This review is from: Runner's World Guide to Running and Pregnancy (Paperback)
The book is okay. Unfortunately one of the reviewers were right. It is really written for some one who has not had a child already and who has not read What to Expect When Expecting. It was more of a pregnancy guide, than a runners pregnancy guide. I was wanting more than I could find reading articles on the internet. But it really isnt more. But nevertheless it is nice to have, but now I am still looking for a book on the effects of running and pregnancy indepth and different suggested schedules for pregnant runners.

This review is from: Runner's World Guide to Running and Pregnancy (Paperback)
I found this book to be easy to read and full of advice based on the latest studies. I enjoyed the book because it is the most comprehensive reference on current information about running and pregnancy I have found. The book is written by a woman who has run with two pregnancies, and is full of stories from other women who have run with their pregnancies. It talks about their experiences, motivations, and suggestions/cautions. The book also provides material about how running and conception interact, diet, strengthening exercises, stretching, and the truth about aerobic exertion during pregnancy. As a runner, I think the book is an excellent addition to my pregnancy book collection, and recommend it to all similar runners who are thinking about or have become pregnant.

Inspiration for runners,
By K. Eilbeck "bod" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Runner's World Guide to Running and Pregnancy (Paperback)
This is a fun book that details briefly the changes that happen to your body during pregnancy and focuses on the runners body. The author had first hand experience of running throughout her pregnancy. The factual data is supported by 2 page case studies of women runners who had children. Some of them ran all the way through, some switched to cross training and some had to stop. There is a whole spectrum of experiences.
It is an inspirational and supportive book, and helped me get through my exercise on days when I did not feel like it. I also passed it on to my mother when she had issues about my exercise .I recommend it to any runner thinking about having a baby. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

Realistic Advice for Pregnant Runners,
By S. Sprouse - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Runner's World Guide to Running and Pregnancy (Paperback)
I picked up Running and Pregnancy before we even started trying to conceive so that I would be educated about my exercise choices once we achieved a pregnancy. I am pleased to say that this book is very realistic and doen-to-earth. They debunk some of the exercise myths (don't let your heart rate get above 140) and provide reasonable guidelines to active pregnant women. I am almost 16 weeks, still running strong and look forward to continuing to run through my pregnancy.
