Relying on the fundamentals that made The Miracle Ball Method a bestseller, Elaine Petrone now translates her method to give women a way to relieve the physical strain of pregnancy and to heal and reshape their bodies after giving birth. Elaine's method addresses all the common complaints brought on by carrying extra weight during pregnancy, including backache, indigestion, sore feet, breathing problems, and difficulty sleeping. She also offers ways to manage labor, speed postpartum healing, ease the stress of caring for a newborn (including handling breastfeeding complications), and -most importantly for many women-regain a flat belly. The Miracle Method for Pregnancy and Beyond comes packaged with two Miracle Balls, so you've got everything you need to get started. The book features dozens of moves that counteract the pressures of carrying all the extra weight a baby brings. Each move has variations to use during different trimesters, and all are accompanied by photos and detailed instructions.
