[QUOTE MightyMitre]Hi Ladies. Wondered if you could help. DH & I are thinking about starting a family next year and thought I should do a little research ( For 'little' read - gobbling up all the tips I can find for use later! :

Im afraid I cant help you with a book name I know I had a few but they are all in storage in Aust so no help there sorry.

With regards to riding/exercise and pregnancy I would say take it day by day and let your body be your guide. I enjoyed swimming and walking thru each pregnancy. I have only taken up riding recently so cant give you any info on that.

My last piece of advice is when you become pregnant people will hand out all sorts of advice and this will continue thru your childs early years. Take what you think is good and ditch the rest. You will get the ones that love to tell birthing horror stories and ones that are very competitive about the strangest things. Every pregnancy and child is different remember that and enjoy the experience.
