Your Pregnancy week by week (6th edition) by Glade B. Curtis and Judith Schuler

Your Pregnancy week by week by Glade B. Curtis, M.D., M.P.H. and Judith Schuler, M.S. is a terrific resource for mom's to be. The newest edition (copyright 2008 - 6th edition) is by far the best of all the editions. I like how they have incorporated weekly exercises with each week of pregnancy. Of course all exercise must be approved by your OB prior to starting any plan especially if you haven't exercised in the past.

I had been faithfully exercising for over three years when I fell walking in my church parking lot at 15 weeks pregnant. I had some complications and my doctor told me that I needed to skip the gym for a little over a month. When I was finally cleared to return, I decided not to since the restrictions put on me were ones that I wasn't sure I would follow at the gym. I'm the kind of person who likes to do more or better than the day before and since its not an option now, I've decided to resume my gym membership after delivery. I've been going to our local water park with the kids and walking in the lazy river, but not as much as I would like. Soon the water park will be closed for the season and I will need to start walking in my neighborhood and then it will be cooler too.
