Product Description
Synopsis
Pregnant women and new mothers have a lot on their minds, and research into what they should or shouldn't be eating is often the last thing on the list. So having an authoritative guide to keep mother and baby supplied with the right nutrients can seriously help make nine months of pregnancy, and the first few weeks of infancy, a great deal more relaxed and enjoyable. The Complete Pregnancy Cookbook does just that, addressing the real concerns of mothers-to-be, such as: which foods are best for baby, which foods to avoid, and how to strike a balance between the two. The Complete Pregnancy Cookbook is split into three parts. Part One, "Essential Facts" covers key information on mother and baby nutrition in an attractive, accessible and easy-to-digest way. It includes the latest information on dietary supplements, best sources of nutrients, food-borne infections, and the advisability of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Part Two, "Menu Plans", looks in depth at nutritional requirements and likely food-related problems for each stage of pregnancy.There are plenty of nutritional tips plus special box features including ideas on what to do when you may not feel like eating through sickness, fatigue and aversions. There is also guidance on changing the dietary requirements necessary to support breast-feeding and a quick return to your pre-pregnant shape. Part Three contains over 100 delicious dishes, specially devised for expectant and new mothers. Recipes come in the mouth-watering categories of snacks, light lunches and suppers, main meals, vegetable and side dishes, and desserts and bakes. Specially commissioned photographs accompany these quick and easy to prepare meals, as does additional information on nutritional benefits and suitability details for those with special dietary requirements. The Complete Pregnancy Cookbook is the ideal kitchen companion for all pregnant women. It is comprehensive yet easy to understand and will make meal planning and shopping easier, while also easing worries about whether your diet is good enough - a must for all expectant and new mothers.

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

Complete Pregnancy Cookbook,

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.)
