Summary: Great information for runners and others
Comment: I had heard good things of this book, and when I discovered I was pregnant at 8 weeks and had a 10 mile race scheduled the next weekend, I wanted to be knowledgeable about running and it's effect on the baby.
I appreciated the scientific approach the author took. And while it was full of detailed information, it was an easy read (like 2-3 evenings). For atheletes, this book really fills the gaps that exists in the gammit of other pregnancy books in regards to exercise.
I did the race (at an easy pace), it went fine. And I felt good with the peace of mind that I knew what was going on in my body and that the baby was okay (and I think, enjoying the running!).
That being said, this book includes various types of exercise, so it's not just for runners. And the study follows the women and their children in the first year+. Very interesting stuff.

Summary: Finally, a book that goes beyond walking!
Comment: This book is excellent!
With my first pregnancy, I got so frustrated following the ACOG recommendations for exercise that I stopped working out. It was just too boring to go for a "brisk" walk.
This book helped me to realize that its o.k. to continue running throughout my pregnancy (which I'm still doing at 26 weeks). Dr. Clapp has references to many women who are very active throughout their pregnancies, with *postive* effects on their pregnancy: less weight gain (but still a healthy amount) and giving birth earlier but still full term (37 to 42 weeks is considered term - exercisers tend to be closer to the 37/38 week mark in his studies).
Enough motivation in this book to keep you sweating right up until the day you deliever!

Summary: Is this book for me?
Comment: For all of you who already own this book, maybe you can answer my question. I presently have a regular exercise routine of 4-5 days a week at the gym using weight machines and cardio equipment. What I'd like to know is if this book will complement my current work out routine. The pregnancy fitness books I have seen are basically a bunch of floor exercises with a couple of dumbbells and stretches...not that I'm adverse to adding them to my workout, but none of the books really touched upon higher intensity workouts. If anyone out there can help me in making a decision whether it be purchasing this book or any other for that matter, please let me know.
Thanks & happy exercising
***UPDATE
I have just completed reading this book and am now also 7 weeks pregnant. Its great to know that I can continue to go to the gym 5 days a week, do a 30 minute sweaty bike ride, and weight train without doing any harm to myself or the baby. No other book touched on the subject of intense cardiovascular and weight-training workouts as this book. I had also experienced two very early miscarraiges and thought that maybe my exercising had something to do with it, thankfully this book put an end to those bad thoughts and has encouraged me to continue my routine.
