Nutrition and Pregnancy : A Complete Guide from Preconception to Postdelivery Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got this book as a preface to actually getting pregnant in an effort to improve my eating habits. Much to my delight, I found that this book was very easy to read, extremely informative, and overall, just made very good sense. It's a great basic, "bottom-line" outline of the types of things a woman (from pre-pregnancy through post-delivery) needs to eat, and why eating these things is important. Knowing the "why" part was of great help to me.
Despite feeling like I was well versed on nutritional needs before picking up this book, I most certainly learned quite a bit. I feel like it will become a very useful reference guide for me through my pregnancy and beyond. From the pre-pregancy standpoint, I have already begun to lose some weight and feel much more energetic. Hopefully this is a change for life!
My one criticism of this book is that the author seems to downplay the importance of taking a prenatal vitamin. To some extent that concerns me only because I wonder if I'm truly getting all of the minerals and vitamins necessary for a healthy pregnancy in my normal diet, regardless of how hard I try. Therefore, I strongly suggest, as did the author, that any woman reading this book use it in conjuction with advice from her own doctor.
