le Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy and Faster Recovery is a proven plan that will support you as you navigate pregnancy and recovery. This book reveals information that your doctor is not providing for you. This simple guide provides the most up-to-date evidence and research on how to address common pregnancy symptoms, how to prepare your body for birth, and how to recover. Kaitlin has left no leaf unturned as you navigate the beautiful journey of pregnancy and motherhood.

Unfortunately, the United States has the highest rate of maternal deaths per capita despite being the country that spends the most on its health care. It is hard to find research and evidence-based care related to pregnancy and postpartum because it can take fifteen to twenty years to get that evidence and education into practice, and not all systems have the knowledge, capacity, or heart to lead their practice with the evidence.

You deserve to know how to keep your body functioning and feeling your best during this very special season of pregnancy and postpartum. This book breaks all this information down for you because you, my friend, are worthy of understanding exactly what the evidence-based information is and how your body works during pregnancy and after.

If you are looking for a realistic, no-nonsense approach to childbirth, this book is for you. I feel this book is brilliantly written to empower moms with attainable goals and realistic expectations concerning the often-ignored and misguided subject matter of childbirth and recovery. As a nurse and soon-to-be first-time mom, I feel Kaitlin's evidence-based research has helped me focus on my mind, body, and soul.

Not only does Kaitlin explain how our core and pelvic floor are connected, but she teaches how to engage those muscles safely during pregnancy and postpartum period.
