A pioneer in the field of fertility, Zita West's programme is invaluable for couples trying to conceive. Harley Street's most popular fertility expert, and favourite consultant to celebrity clients, guides the reader through a process of vital physical and mental preparation. The book is for every couple trying to conceive and has fascinating advice taken from Zita's 20 years of experience as midwife and 7 years as an acupuncturist. It provides a structured, easy-to-follow step-by-step programme, complete with case studies and and enormously detailed questionnaire. The guide includes details on:- when and how often to have sex- what can prevent fertilisation and conception- everything you need to know about sperm and ovulation- nutrition, supplements and herbs- complementary therapies such as acupressure, lymphatic massage and hypnotherapy- how to overcome stress and other emotional blocks to pregnancy- PCOS, endometriosis and other health issues- tests and procedures if there is a problem- and much much more. - Zita West has more column inches than any other complementary practitioner working in the field of fertility. She has a celebrity client list that others would love: including Kate Winslet, Davina McCall, Cate Blanchett and Gaby Roslin. - Zita's style is warmer and more holistic than her competitors as she gives as much space to the importance of mental preparation as to the physical preparation. This makes her programme truly cutting edge and differentiates this book in the market place. - Within the UK, there are approximately 800,000 couples per annum trying to conceive and approximately 10% of the population of reproductive age experience fertility problems. This book is ideal not only for those women experiencing problems conceiving but also anyone who is planning for a baby as it shows them how to optimise their chances of getting pregnant
