Author Description

This thoroughly revised and expanded second edition includes the latest nutritional information, along with shopping and eating tips to keep nutrient intake high and unnecessary weight gain to a minimum. The 150-plus nutrient-rich recipes—more than 25 new to this edition—are designed with the busy cook and her family in mind. Each highlights "What's in this for baby and me" and provides nutritional breakdowns and meal-planning advice; many offer substitution suggestions and time-saving shortcuts. Eating for Pregnancy also addresses women with gestational diabetes, and includes an expanded vegetarian/vegan chapter. Plus, an all-new section, Nine Months Later, reassuringly covers information on breastfeeding, post-partum depression, and weight loss.
