The authors show how women can prepare for pregnancy and childbirth by using the Alexander Technique. By achieving an overall improvement in balance and movement, a mother's experience of childbirth can be transformed, with numerous benefits to her own health and her baby's development. As well as explaining how many of the health problems associated with pregnancy can be traced back to faulty posture, the authors show how the technique can be used to achieve a more natural birth, reducing the need for medical attention. This text is fully illustrated, with practical easy-to-follow photographs, and its publication aims to meet the great demand for information about natural childbirth techniques.
