Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:From eating the best foods at the correct times to adapting a working and social life, "Healthy Pregnancy Over 35 is a practical guide to minimizing risks and ensuring an active, enjoyable pregnancy. Including step-by-step stress-reduction and exercise plans, lists of super foods and supplements, and sex tips, this book is packed with essential advice for mothers-to-be. Review:"The number of women choosing to marry later and invest more time in their careers before starting a family has jumped dramatically, and thus, these same women are having their first children years later than the generation preceding them. Authors Goetzl, a high risk pregnancy specialist, and Harford, a medical writer, have compiled an excellent and substantial resource for women facing midlife childbirth and childrearing. From planning conception, to detailing physical and emotional changes, to making adjustments to early motherhood, the authors combine their personal experiences with professional and medical savvy. Full-color pictures and expertly drawn sketches complete each section. One of the most reader-friendly aspects of this book is the two-page per topic layout, especially handy for busy women who only want a cursory background take on particular topics. First-time moms older than 35 do have some special considerations to reduce their chances of experiencing a high-risk pregnancy, and the authors provide encouraging data to prevent or minimize such occurrences. Another helpful and insightful section covers the ins and outs of making the decision to become pregnant and how this will alter relationships and career advancement. Women over 35 considering pregnancy will find solid, sound advice in this superior resource. " Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
