Well, my book and booklet came from Tommy's, and the book I have to say, is brilliant. It covers much the same as all the popular website, with a few additional facts. However, the best thing about the book is, instead of just saying 'you need to do 30 minutes exercise, 5 time a week (really, when will I have a life!?), it not only suggest a lower level for people who have previously not done any exercise (phew!), it give suggestions and also has how-to's on exercises such as working your stomach and pelvic muscles. Not only is this great exercise, but also will assist in labour.
The book is so easy to read I read it in one sitting on the train (on my way to meet Lucy for some much deserved shopping therapy!) The book is broken down into very logical 'chapters', then short, easy to read sections. The shortness of the sections help is you have a really foggy pregnant brain like mine, that can lose a thread of thought halfway through typing a blog post (what was I saying...? Only kidding!) Even the graphic design of the book is nice, a rather sexy plum read with dusk pink accents and modern font.
The book covers so much, shortly and succinctly - it's a great starting point for those in early pregnancy, and a good leaping off point for further reading, if needed, later on in the pregnancy. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a good, all-round staritng point. You'll need to register, then you can order for free from here.
