A Definite Must-Have for Expectant Moms

I wish I would have had this during my first pregnancy. I had asked all of my health care professionals what I should eat and how I should take care of myself during that crucial time, but the standard reply was always, "Eat healthy and exercise." This book defines what eating healthy and taking care of yourself during pregnancy involves. It includes tips on weight gain, pre-pregnancy and postpartum nutrition, information on low carb and vegetarian diets as well as family-friendly recipes.

great book

This book has great info. and great recipes. I have made a few and My family really likes them. I'm greatful for a book that has info and recipes that are easy to use.

Much better than its predecessor

I read "What to eat when you're expecting" in preparation for becoming pregnant, and was overwhelmed by all the dos and do nots. This book is much more user friendly- it gives examples of how to squeeze in all those required foods in a normal day, and how to substitute realistically. Huge improvement over the first book.

Excellent advice for good health in general

When I got this book, I had already been changing my diet around. Healthy eating gave me more energy and helped me fight off colds and flus more quickly. I just found out that I am pregnant, and my body feels very prepared to handle the challenges ahead. I think the diet suggested by this book is good for everyone.

Do and Dont's of Eating when you're pregnant

Awesome book!!! Goes into detail about why you should and shouldn't eat certain foods. Book also has recipes for good nutritious meals. This book covers diet in more depth than your average pregnancy book about nutrition, which will cover it in a single chapter. This one covers it thoroughly! A must-have for anyone fanatical about their baby.
