Susie Mitchell is a 37 year first time mom to a lovely vibrant baby girl Tori. Always enjoying the challenge of trying her hand at different sports, she discovered track cycling in July of 2011. After failing to make her mark in anything from shot putt to surfing, it finally seemed she had found something she was good at. Then two months later she became pregnant. Having set her sights on competing in the World Masters Track Cycling Championships the following October, she needed a plan. It would come four months after the birth and she wanted to be ready to give a good account of herself.
Wanting to train properly throughout her pregnancy, she looked for and found lots of advice – but was alarmed at how conservative views on exercise were during this time. The advice of "gentle jogging or easy swimming" wasn’t appealing. Being both a vet and scientist with a background in research she decided to look into it herself and focus on what the science said as her guide. Through this, a healthy dose of common sense and the help of her coach, she found a way to maintain and improve her fitness while training through all stages of her pregnancy and post-partum.
Her return to form came so much quicker than anyone could have expected, winning a National Medal just 6 weeks after the birth. She added others in the following months and went from strength to strength culminating in winning a title in the Individual Pursuit at the World Masters Track Championships in Manchester just a few months after Tori arrived. She had somehow managed to achieve her lifelong goal of sporting success in any discipline, and had pregnancy to thank for it. Susie showed that it is not only possible to stay fit and healthy by exercising through your pregnancy but that you could turn pregnancy to your advantage during training. The physiological changes in the body during this time mean training with baby on board is akin to training at altitude. Only a lot cheaper and easier to do!
By staying somewhat immersed in her sport, she also reaped another unforeseen benefit – she succeeded in maintain her identity through it all. Staying fit and getting back on the bike post-partum was one of the things that kept her sane, when coping with the biggest shock to the system anyone can have – becoming a mom for the first time. All of this was made possible by the help of a very supportive husband, Cormac.
She is now back at work as a fish vet, travelling all around Ireland, visiting fish farms and jumping on and off trawlers. She tries to balance working, being a mum and enjoying her sport, a bit of a juggling act at times. Wanting to help other women like her during their pregnancies, she wrote the book she would have liked to read.

This is a pretty good self-published book---there are certainly some spelling errors and the like, but as long as you're not overly picky about things like that, the information presented in the book is still interesting and it is a fast read.Sue comes from a scientific background and goes through her process of looking for scientific data on exercise and pregnancy, for which there is very little available. What actual data are available, however, seemingly cannot conclude that there is any reason not to exercise, exercise even moderately strenuously, or begin new exercise programs. I think most doctors/midwives these days agree that continuing current exercise programs is good, but what about starting new ones? How strenuous is too strenuous? These are some of the questions that Sue tries to answer in her own life.
I picked up this book because, while I was running some in my life when I became pregnant, it became easier to cycle, and I've always enjoyed cycling more anyways. Soon after becoming pregnant I decided that afterwards I would participate in a triathlon, so my question was how much could I train before the birth. Sue is pretty a much a professional at her sport, whereas I compete just against myself and for fun. I'm happy to say that I kept cycling throughout my pregnancy, ramping it up for a little while (e.g., a 42 mile ride a month before due date), and then tapering off because it just wasn't as comfortable that last month. I still ended up doing a 11.5 mile ride on my due date, and delivered a healthy baby boy three days past the due date. This book gave me the encouragement to keep doing what I was doing----five days after the birth, I hopped on my bike and did a quick test mile, and found out that I could easily keep going.
The only thing lacking in the book, in my opinion, was more about her personal life and how much her training affected her relationship with her husband. However, some readers may appreciate that Sue sticks to the topic of training and pregnancy rather than writing about her personal relationships.

Pregnancy to Podium edition by Susie Mitchell Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
Susie tells her story with such honesty and in a way that it was hard to put the book down until finished. Her journey takes you through her ups and downs but with her determination and perseverance shows that if we want something badly enough there is always a way to achieve. Great read for all.
It's nice to know that pregnancy doesn't mean the end of a competitive athlete! Also, she recognizes everyone is different, and tells her story, not what one should, can or cannot do.
What a refreshing book. A remarkable insight into the subject by someone who has been there done that and worn the rainbow "T" shirt of a world champion and has a wonderful daughter to prove it all. It would take the tenacity of an elite athlete to take any subject about which little is written and write "The book",
It should be mandatory reading for all pre-natal and peri-natal healthcare professionals, and recommended reading for all sports club officials and staff in gyms and fitness centers everywhere.
It is the story of a remarkable journey undertaken by a remarkable young woman that reflects hundreds of thousands of journeys undertaken annually by mothers of all fitness levels. The story is told in a forthright and erudite way with not a little humour the reader can sense the mischievous sparkle in the authors eyes.
It is also a remarkable insight into the female psyche, of immense benefit to any bloke whose partner is pregnant irrespective of her athletic abilities or achievements.
Highly recommended reading.
One thing is for sure Tori will not want for sound advice and wise council when her time comes.

I can't say enough good things about this book! It was just the encouragement I was looking for!
I was asked to join a cycling team last year and have fallen in love with time trialing. I couldn't imagine giving it up during and after pregnancy as I have already come so far and know I can continue improving. Although, I am not currently pregnant, when the time comes I will definitely keep this book in mind as a great source of inspiration. Reading this book has made the whole pregnancy and birthing process seem a lot less overwhelming and, as I can imagine I will never really know what it is like until I have actually experienced it, it is great to have read about a like minded mom.
A BIG THANKS to Susie Mitchell for taking the time to write this book as the first thing I noticed when looking for information about exercising while pregnant is how much walking and swimming is mentioned. I am a terrible swimmer and walking is not going to keep up the level of fitness I currently maintain! I look forward to reaching all my cycling goals!
Refreshingly honest, written with good humour! Susie's background as a Vet helps her cut through so much of the ultra conservative misinformation surrounding the subject. A fabulously inspiring story on of one woman's journey through the biggest change that can befall any of us. Something for everybody here and hey think the fathers will enjoy it too!!
The book made me confident about my desire to keep biking through my pregnancy. I loved to read about the struggles and achievements that Susie made. Thank you very much for writing it
