Reader Reviews

"Healthy Beginnings guided me through every step of my pregnancy, the delivery and the first few days at home with Gabrielle. It's written in very realistic terms and provided positive reinforcement every step of the way. The authors tackle the issues without being alarmist; they cover every procedure and present all the options in easy-to-understand charts and graphs. I found it to be really helpful and recommend it highly."

– Jacqueline Lalonde,
Proud mother of three-month old Gabrielle

"The Healthy Beginnings handbook is a very thorough guide for new moms. The layout and inclusion of journal spaces for questions and records of doctor visits was quite useful. I found the information in this publication straight-forward and very reassuring. It made me feel more in control, therefore making my pregnancy and birthing experience a wonderful one. All first-time mothers should read this book."

Healthy Beginnings (3rd Edition) is a Trusted Advisor approved title: Indigo’s Trusted Advisor Health Program provides Canadians with a destination where they can find ‘best in class’ resources recommended by a panel of leading physicians and health professionals from across the country.

 

"The latest "Healthy Beginnings" is a welcomed addition to Canadian peer reviewed, evidence based resources on pregnancy. It is still a rare find that a resource is both scientifically based yet easy to read and understand. It also answers many of those questions that pregnant women and their partners hesitate to ask about. Every health care provider involved in pre-pregnancy counselling, pre- and post-natal care should be handing these out to their patients. Congratulations to the SOGC for putting out another winner!"

– Dr. Karen Breeck MD, MHSc, ABPM(AM)
President, Federation of Medical Women of Canada
