An Essential Book for Every Pregnancy
The only cookbook and nutrition guide crafted to the specific needs and challenges of today's generation of mothers-to-be.

Every pregnant woman recognizes that what she eats, drinks, and does with her body directly affects the baby developing within her. Yet mothers-to-be—between juggling work, other children, and their many other responsibilities—often don't have the time they'd like to devote to their nutrition. Now, Eating for Pregnancy addresses nutritional needs of pregnant women today, helping them to navigate through frozen-food aisles and prepared-food sections and to create healthy, easy homemade meals. Key features of this essential guide include:

• Reassuring, up-to-date nutritional information for pregnancy and breast feeding.

• Shopping and eating tips to keep nutrient intake high and unnecessary weight-gain to a minimum.

• Guilt-free, smart-choice convenience and semi-prepared food options to make preparing a homemade meal fast and easy.

• Six sections with 120 recipes that are high in vitamins, iron, calcium, protein, and fiber, and contain moderate amounts of fat, sodium, and sugar.

• Suggestions for substitution, time-saving shortcuts, and how to make a dish more kid-friendly.

• Nutrition information that highlights "What's in this for baby and me" and includes complete nutritional breakdowns and meal-planning advice.
