ABOUT THE BOOK


Recovery begins as soon as possible after delivery. Women who undergo surgery are reluctant to breathe deeply, yet breathing exercises help clear the body of the effects of anaesthesia and tone the abdominal muscle walls. There is a complete exercise program, which begins with a 5-minute session and builds progressively until mother and baby can perform a complete workout that is both fun and effective. The exercises are easy to follow, require no special equipment (other than baby) and are set out step by step.


In addition, working with a medical practitioner, Chrissie Gallagher-Mundy answers the questions that cause most concern to all new mothers after a Caesarean section.
