Great Book, Easy Read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I am a Massage Therapist and I loved this book! It has a lot of information but is still a very easy book to read. I would recommend it for Massage Therapists, as well as expectant moms and anyone working with them (Doulas, midwives, etc.)
A must read for parents to professionals

No expecting parent or childbirth professional should be without this book. It is a treasure of knowledge about what to expect, and what effects both mother and child during this miraculous time. As for the massage, just read about how the wrong position or pressure can harm both mother and child. This is not a do it yourself manual or picture book.The author is giving vital information for the safety and comfort of mother and developing child. This book should be in every expecting parent's and professionals library. As a professional, I do not teach a class without it.
Massage During Pregnancy

This is a comprehensive, yet understandable and useable text. It shows the benefits of massage while pregnant and continues on to include the new baby. Most importantly, it warns of improper use to prevent complications. I highly recommend this to all pregnant mothers, nurses, doctors, and all health care providers. An important work, deserving to be read and utilized.

As a professional who offers pregnancy and infant massage, andtraining for new mom's and dad's, as well as allied healthcareprofessionals, I cannot recommend Bette Water's book highly enough. Wedo not teach a class without it,whether the group be (new) expectingparents, or professionals. We have received national recognition forour work with women and children.That was attainable because of theknowledge and experience we bring to our clients. There are manyimportant topics and issues which the author has included so that thepregnancy massage may be done safely and effectively. This book shouldbe in every new parents and childbirth professionals library. I highlyrecommend it as the best source for a safe and effective pregnancy formother and child...
Massage During Pregnancy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I feel this is the best book on the market dealing directly with massage and the pregnant client. Massage During Pregnancy explains how beneficial massage is from the beginning of the pregnancy through labor and the postpartum period. The author did not forget the new arrival and devotes a chapter to the benefits of infant massage. I highly recommend this book for any woman thinking about pregnancy as well as all massage therapists working with pregnant women.
