Synopsis:

NUTRITION FOR A HEALTHY PREGNANCY is a reliable reference for women who want more than just a "how to eat" guide. Fully revised in a smaller trim size, this edition features new menus and recipes as well as the latest findings on how a mother's nutrition during pregnancy determines her child's risk of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other diseases later in life. You'll find clear explanations of: * What foods to avoid and why * The role of vitamins and minerals and how to choose the right supplements * How what you eat affects your labour and delivery * Dietary guidelines for pregnant women over thirty-five, as well as for pregnant teens * How diet prevents common problems from morning sickness and food cravings to heartburn and muscle cramps * Which foods and nutrients speed recovery after the baby is born.
