3.0 out of 5 stars
But I thought I wasn't supposed to eat that!!!,

This review is from: The Complete Pregnancy Cookbook: Recipes, Menu Plans, and Nutritional Information for Nine Months Plus of Healthy Eating (Carroll & Brown parenting book) (Paperback)
This book worries me. EVERYWHERE else I look I am advised to avoid eating things like Marlin and Peanuts but this book actually contains recipies with these ingredients in..
Maybe it is OK to eat some of these things in moderation but by including these recipies in thier weekly menu's seems to be encouraging women to eat more of these things when perhaps maybe they shouldn't. My advice would be to read this book carefully - along with others - and maybe pick and chose which recipies you follow. Personally, I'm working on the theory thats its better to be safe than sorry and will be avoiding the recipies that include ingredients I have been told by other sources to avoid

This review is from: The Complete Pregnancy Cookbook: Recipes, Menu Plans, and Nutritional Information for Nine Months Plus of Healthy Eating (Carroll & Brown parenting book) (Paperback)
This book is great. It gives a mum to be everything you need to know to maintain a good diet throughout the nine months of pregnancy. What is particularly useful is the unique menu planner section which guides you with practical menu suggestions on a week-by-week basis - and all the recipes are to be found in the book. I highly recommend this to all expectant mums!

Bored of food in pregnancy? This book was brilliant!,

This review is from: The Complete Pregnancy Cookbook: Recipes, Menu Plans, and Nutritional Information for Nine Months Plus of Healthy Eating (Carroll & Brown parenting book) (Paperback)
My husband bought this book for me at the beginning of my pregnancy. I have to agree with some of the other reviewers that you don't really want to follow recipes etc when you are shattered etc in early pregnancy but some pregnant women are lucky enough not to feel like that and this is a great guide to eating. I didn't look at the book at first but by the time I was 4.5 months pregnant I was really glad I had it - I had run out of interesting ideas of what to eat and was eating chocolate galore....and although I didn't follow the plans completely, I really found the recipe ideas useful and my husband has found them delicious too. I would definitely recommend this book (although taking into account others concerns of peanuts, marlin etc.)
