For too long, women have been told that debilitating conditions following pregnancy are normal, to be expected, and something to just put up with. Emma Brockwell is on a mission to change this. Having been through two difficult pregnancies herself, Emma combines her expertise as a specialist women’s health physiotherapist with personal experience to create a warm, honest, informative and essential handbook to help pregnant women and new mums take control and care for their changing bodies. Find out how to:

-Protect your pelvic floor
-Heal effectively from birth – both vaginal deliveries and caesarean sections
-Tackle common - and TREATABLE - post-birth problems
-Exercise safely after birth

Every woman has the right to be informed and this empowering guide gives you all the tools you need to look after your amazing body throughout motherhood.
