The comprehensive pregnancy nutrition guide, completely revised to
cover baby's development and mom's health month by month, and updated
with the latest research and 25 new recipes
Eating for Pregnancy is the ultimate no-nonsense nutrition guide and
cookbook for moms-to-be. Every pregnant woman understands that what she
eats and drinks affects the baby growing within her. Yet many of them
don't have the time or energy to ensure they're always eating right. The
guide walks readers through pregnancy month-by-month to cover
developmental highlights, body changes, and nutritional needs of the
mother and baby. Each chapter shares delicious, healthful recipes that
put a special emphasis on the nutrients that mother and baby need that
month, during preconception, the nine months of pregnancy, and the
postpartum period. Each of the 150 recipes highlights the essential
nutrients for mom and growing baby, and provides handy nutritional
breakdowns and complete meal ideas.
