Editorial Review:
Every pregnant woman recognizes that what she eats, drinks, and does with her body directly affects the developing baby within her. Yet mothers-to-be—between juggling work, other children, and their many other responsibilities—often don't have the time that they'd like to devote to their nutrition. Now, Eating for Pregnancy addresses the nutritional needs of pregnant women today, helping them navigate through frozen food aisles and prepared food sections and prepare homemade meals as healthy and easy as possible. Authors Jones and Hudson provide reassuring, up-to-date nutritional information; shopping and eating tips to keep nutrient-intake high and unnecessary weight-gain to a minimum; and guilt-free, smart-choice convenience and semi-prepared food options. Their more than 120 recipes, organized into six main sections, are high in vitamins, iron, calcium, protein, and fiber and moderate in amounts of fat, sodium, and sugar. Each recipe highlights "What's in this for baby and me?" and includes complete nutritional breakdowns and meal planning advice; many offer suggestions for substitutions and other timesaving shortcuts. Eating for Pregnancy also caters to women with gestational diabetes with diabetic tips and ADA exchange values. A vegetarian chapter offers essential advice to pregnant vegetarians along with inspiring recipes. Eating for Pregnancy is the only book that combines the experience of a professionally trained cook and writer turned home cook and mother with the expertise and experience of a perinatal nutritionist who sees hundreds of clients a year.

Rating: - Loved the recipes
There are some great food ideas, some are pretty basic, but for me i need basic because im not very creative with food. I have tried a lot of recipes and I have loved them all, even my family has enjoyed them.
Rating: - Great pregnancy resource
I'm 5 1/2 months pregnant and have been using this cookbook since before conception. It has been my bible through 4 months of morning sickness and into my second trimester, and will certainly stay on the shelf after I give birth. Every single recipe in the book fits my 3 main requirements: 1) easy (nothing takes longer than an hour or contains any complicated ingredients), 2) healthy, and 3) delicious. My husband loves this book too. I especially recommend the banana-walnut muffins . . . I make a ... Read More
Rating: - Great!
I love this cookbook. I am not pregnant yet, but decided to start eating more "pregnancy-friendly" & nutritious foods to prepare myself for my future pregnancy (hopefully soon!) I have prepared several meals for my husband and myself and we both enjoy them very much. Definitely worth it!
Rating: - Great Book!
I really love this book. Each of the recipes include important nutrition information that women will find helpful before, during, and after pregnancy. I believe that men will appreciate this book as well. There is a lot of information and helpful eating tips throughout the book. I would highly recommend it.
Rating: - BEST COOKBOOK EVER - could only be better if it was twice as long!
I'm not pregnant, and neither is anyone in my family, but this is simply the BEST cookbook I've ever purchased.
My husband and I are living with my fifty year old parents and my teenage sisters, and I am the only one in the family who likes to eat healthy. I've been cooking healthy recipes from other cookbooks, only to get grumpy looks and half-eaten portions from my family members. Along comes "Eating for Pregnancy." We have tried six of the main-course meals, and my family has liked ... Read More
