Product Description

When you're pregnant, you're eating for two-or maybe more! You need to eat right-and this book shows you what that means, meal by meal. The Everything Pregnancy Nutrition Book helps you break down all that confusing information about prenatal vitamins, calorie counting, and smart food shopping. From getting healthy before conceiving to staying fit through each stage of pregnancy, you can shape your eating and exercise habits to contribute positively to your well-being-and ultimately, your baby's.

The Everything Pregnancy Nutrition Book helps you design a well-balanced diet that's right for you and your baby, whether you're a teenage mother-to-be, an older expecting mom, or somewhere in between.

With this engaging and enlightening book at your side you can:

  • Get the real deal on controversial foods such as fish, tea, wine, and cheese
  • Avoid harmful food additives and over-the-counter medications
  • Make informed decisions in the supermarket and kitchen
  • Indulge some cravings-and beat others
  • Learn the best ways to cope with the discomforts of pregnancy
  • Assess which vitamins and minerals are most important during each trimester
  • Develop an effective pregnancy exercise routine
  • Introduce your newborn to healthy foods
  • Adopt a post-pregnancy eating plan

    Complete with tips on prenatal care for your baby and methods for regaining your pre-baby figure, The Everything Pregnancy Nutrition Book is your complete resource for planning a healthy pregnancy from beginning to end!

    Fine, if you believe everything the government tells you.1
    I found this book dated and misleading. I was especially concerned with the advice to drink plenty of fluoridated tap water. More evidence is available that shows fluoride is dangerous, especially to pregnant women and babies.

    And it may be safe to eat processed cheese, but I wanted a book centered around a diet that avoids processed foods. Disgusting.

    I found the information in other popular "Expecting" books to be more complete for preferences towards natural diets.

    The book is ok, but not realistic on some food choices and things to do.

    This book limits itself to food when everyone knows there's a lot more to pregnancy than what you eat. I would recommend getting an all-inclusive pregnancy book like "What to expect when you're expecting" because it completely covers what to eat as well as a lot of other helpful information that this book leaves out.
