Very thorough, well-written, full of information

This is the best book I've read on nutrition during pregnancy. It covers all of the everyday nutrition needs, and gives extra info on special situations that may arise during pregnancy.

The best nutrition resource for pregnant women

I absolutely love this book. I read it cover to cover, but I also refer back to it regularly as my pregnancy progresses and more specific concerns arise. It has a great recipe section which gives wonderful ideas for healthy (and easy) meals, and it really helps you to plan out what to eat to ensure that you are getting everything that you and your growing baby need. I also really like the section in the end which gives you a check-list to ensure that you are covering all of your nutritional bases on any given day. I have had a lot of random concerns about nutrition (for example- will it cause my baby to have a peanut allergy if I eat peanut butter while pregnant? How can I absorb more iron in my diet without taking extra supplements? What is the right amount of weight to gain during the different trimesters, How do I meet my nutritional needs when I have severe food aversions in the first trimester, just to name a few!) and they have all been thoroughly addressed in this book. I could not recommend this book more highly!!
