Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy, Revised Edition: The Complete Guide to Eating Before, During, and After Your Pregnancy

This book is just great for me as it answers just about everything that I can think of when it comes to my diet. It clears all of my misconceptions and also explains clearly why those misconceptions are wrong. I feel so much more educated on this. The message got through to me clearly as it's articulated well. I recommend this book to every woman who is planning to conceive. The book is in great condition and was delivered much before expected. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I bought this book when I was preparing for my pregnancy. It had excellent tips on healthy eating, not only from a pregnancy perspective, but from nutrition in general. It covers the preconception stage, gearing up for pregnancy, then pregnancy itself, and lastly has a section on what to eat postpartum. One thing I loved about the book is that it explains how eating right will bring you back to your pre-pregnancy shape much faster. I gained 35 pounds with my pregnancy and lost it all within the first 3 months, and I've continued to lose. This book is an excellent resource for nutrition in general, even beyond the pregnancy part.

This is by far the best of any of the various nutrition books or cookbooks for pregnancy that I have read through.I bought this before I became pregnant and liked it so much before and during my pregnancy that I have given this as a gift. Such a great reference - I can't count the number of times I have gone back to this. I also like the recipes Somer includes - some have become household favorites.

The book was okay but I felt it was a lttle out dated. I really wanted more information on Nutrition and not as much on Pregnancy which I have gotten from books specifically on Pregnancy.

This book was on the reading list for a student in Cameroon she was unable to locate it in her country. Not even in the school library. She will be able to share this book with her fellow students. The price was right, the book was in good condition.

I love this book. It helped prepare both my wife and i for pregnancy. From prenatls to weekly recipes it was just what we needed.

Though there is useful information about the nutrients in different food groups, I got this book at the same time as a "mayo clinic on healthy weight" and the differences were striking. Somer appears to base a lot of nutritional advice on the US RDA and "old school" food pyramid, which has been subject to lobbying by farmers and large food corporations rather than sound medical advice, and the latest research by health-based, rather than profit-biased, scientists.Also, the author tends to leave the subject matter and speak on other pregnancy health issues. Since this wouldn't have been the only book I buy to learn about my pregnancy, much of the information was redundant and less well-informed than books that make overall pregnancy health their goal.If you'd like something more concise, I'd recommend "Eating for Pregnancy - an essential guide to nutrition for the whole family" which has a shorter section on nutrients and their use for the baby, then a whole slew of recipes with their nutritional content. Then for the overall pregnancy health to fill in the gaps, "Mayo Clinic guide to a healthy pregnancy", with medical advice and information about the baby's development at each 4 week segment.
