　　“From The Hips is a deeply refreshing, honest look at the
profound changes we undergo during pregnancy and beyond. Ceridwen

from, offering support to every kind of prospective mother. Being
pregnant and having a child is alternately the most beautiful,
complex, difficult, rewarding experience a woman can imagine. This
book gives it straight and from all sides, without judgment, and
with irreverent humor and candor from its authors.”

realistic take on the lifestyle change that is pregnancy and
parenthood.
