The Pregnancy Centre has been quietly busy over the past few months putting together a series of e-booklets written by Dianne Edmonds, Physiotherapist called The Whole Body Connection. This new series of e-booklets has been specially put together to complement our wonderful little booklet As Your Shape Changes, which we republished in its fourth edition last year.

Today we are pleased to announce that the first two e-booklets in this series are ready for sale and can be downloaded from our Products page. We are sure these e-booklets will not only inspire new mums and mums-to-be, but will be appreciated as a wonderful resource for all fitness professionals.

A portion of the proceeds of these e-booklets will be donated to Fit for Good, the fitness industry’s charitable foundation. Fit for Good works to enhance the lives of Australians in need by providing health and fitness opportunities.
