The Pregnancy Power Workbook, authored by prenatal and gynecology experts Dr. Jim Betoni, DO and Camilla Bicknell, RNC, WHNP, helps women better understand and prepare for their own unique pregnancies. It translates information into useable knowledge. Instead of inundating a woman with facts, figures, and statistics, the workbook provides basic questions and easy-to-digest answers.

Earlier this summer, Dr. Jim and Camilla announced a partnership with Jill Arnold. Through August the newly assembled team want to assist women as shared decision-making is becoming the next wave in maternity care reform.  The team is planning an exciting series of insightful blog posts, Facebook meet-ups, articles, Twitter parties, and live chat forums to ensure that women have access to the team and up-to-date information and perspectives. The content will be delivered through The Pregnancy Power Workbook’s blog, Facebook, Twitter accounts and Jill’s website, The Unnecesarean.

“Social media is now a trusted way for people to gain access and discuss information that interests them most,” said Camilla Bicknell “We want to leverage this medium to encourage woman to discuss their pregnancies so, together, they are able to lift one another ‘up’ and all become knowledgeable pregnancy experts. This contest, we hope, is one more step to creating a generation of empowered pregnant woman!”

The Pregnancy Power Workbook is available now at www.pregnancypower.org or through Amazon!
