Jo Glanville-Blackburn and Jo Granville-blackburn - Blossoming Beauty: Health And Wellbeing During Pregnancy

Soothing color photographs of gorgeous, relaxed pregnant women abound in this attractively designed book, which shows that being "in the family way" does not necessitate looking and feeling like a bag of rocks. Author Jo Glanville-Blackburn provides tips for maximum health, self-pampering, and well-being during this most moody of times. Tips include home recipes for oil mixtures to rub on a swelling tummy to avoid stretch marks, what to eat during what trimester, and what to pack in that suitcase for the hospital (or to have handy if staying at home with a midwife). There are recipes for super-energy foods and berry blends, and helpful reference lists such as "Ten Ways to Feel Positive" and "Ten Ways to Relax." These nine months needn't be a burden, but instead, with the help of this book, can be a time for self-reflection, anticipation, and beauteous repose. Minimize
