Eating for Pregnancy: Your Essential Month-by-Month Nutrition Guide and Cookbook

I looked at several different books before deciding on ordering this one. This book is great! It provides a list of foods that you should eat for the month that you are pregnant based on what the baby needs for their development at that time. The recipes are easy, delicious, and for the most part, quick. I feel more confident knowing that I'm eating what my baby needs and I'm not having to question it. There's a wide variety of recipes as well. Most recipes come with suggestions on how to make it a full meal and some will come with other recipe suggestions. It also provides alternative ingredients or meal ideas for people who are diabetic. It also provides information on how long the food can keep in the fridge as well as how long you can safely freeze the food, if it's freezable.

I am a Dietitian & I absolutely love this book. It is such a great reference for what to eat at all of the stages of pregnancy from before conception to after birth.They cover general guidelines, things to avoid, and things to focus on to have the healthiest possible pregnancy.It’s all written in a lovely non-judgmental tone & includes amazing recipes that I can’t wait to try (pregnant or not)!

Some random ingredients not found at local King Soopers, but great ideas!

This is a superb book. There is great information about pregnancy spanning from pre-conception to postpartum. The emphasis is on nutrition. The information is well presented and organized and interesting. The recipes are fantastic! You do not have to be pregnant to cook from this book and enjoy the beautiful meals. I highly recommend this book to women who are in their child bearing years and who enjoy cooking healthy delicious meals.

I’m Monica Cox - a qualified Fertility Health Coach & I received a free copy of this book to review. It is packed full of useful info, but I found that the information/recommendations simply follow the mainstream, U.S. trend that I personally find at times a little outdated.If you’ve not dealt with any complications getting or staying pregnant, this might be a good supportive book for you.Here are my concerns everyone should be aware of thou::* The information provided throughout the book about Folic Acid [a synthetic form of folate] is outdated. New evidence is pointing to the fact that we shouldn't be overloading on it & looking towards using Folate, which can be used in supplements & found in fresh foods. The synthetic form, Folic Acid requires conversions to get to the active form & it can possibly mask a B12 deficiency. Woman with an MTHFR mutation or a variant should think twice about consuming any type of Folic Acid. MTHFR was mention in the book, but if you would like Info more information on this please go to MTHFR.net* Recipes called for non/low-fat dairy. These are usually very high in sugar & high quality saturated fat is essential during pregnancy [if you can tolerate dairy].* Tofu & fortified soy beverages should be used in moderation due to the phytoestrogen qualities.* Iodized salt is recommended & usually is bleached and low quality.

I love this 3rd edition of Eating for Pregnancy. There is so much nutrition and health information for those expecting and even if you are not. There are a range of easy, fresh, healthy recipes that appeal to the range of eaters in my family. Particularly love the salad and soup recipes. Also very helpful having the symbols in the upper right hand corner of each recipe - quick and easy, gluten-free, vegan, etc.

The amount of information they provide is awesome! Some of the recipes I know I won't like but a couple of the ones I won't like I might just try anyway. Most of the recipes look great and easy to alter if you don't like certain ingredients. 🙂

This book was gifted to me by a dear friend and it is the best part of my pregnancy so far. I can't stop making these recipes. Every recipe I've made is healthy, simple, and, most importantly, DELICIOUS! My husband is a big fan too so these are all getting gobbled up and I can't seem to make them fast enough. My pictures aren't the best, but these were all standouts (tuna salad, nut energy balls, gingery cran-bran muffins) along with the High-Folate Spinach Bean Dip and Lentil Soup with Brown Rice and Spinach. My friends and family beg me to make more nut energy balls. They're a big hit.I find this book to be a great comfort on my first journey through pregnancy. I know I'm eating great food for my baby AND I get to eat delicious food.FYI there is a minor typo on the Gingery Cran-Bran Muffins. The measurement for the Bran is missing. It's 3.5 cups!

This product was bought for a friend who is expecting. I was a bit juvious of it at first, but when received I had a look inside, and to my amazing it has sections on what you should be eating during each trimester and gives you some really good recipes to try out!My friend absolutely loves this books and swears that it is helping her with her pregnancy.

Excellent book, very informative for every step of pregnancy!+ 7 day menu (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)+ Detailed no. of calories to consume for each trimester based on height/age+ List of allowed/recommended ingredients to consumeVery helpful, totally recommended!

The content of the book is quite informative and can be useful but I am really disappointed with the lack of pictures. It's hard to imagine the recipe without having a picture to refer to. For this reason I only give 2 stars.

It’s American so ingredients are a bit weird and you have to convert cups to metric . Not sure recipes are great as v little fish is mentioned
