Product Description

Product Description

YOUR VEGETARIAN PREGNANCY is the first authoritative guide to maintaining a healthy vegetarian diet before, during, and after the birth of your child. There's no question that a vegetarian or vegan diet is just as nutritionally sound during pregnancy as one that includes animal protein. In fact, vegetarian nutrition offers pregnant women valuable health benefits that you simply won't find in a non-vegetarian diet, such as higher levels of folic acid, lower cholesterol, and an abundant variety of essential minerals, vitamins, and nutrients. Whether you are already vegetarian or you simply want to reduce the amount of meat in your diet, making the right dietary choices to support you and your baby is the key to a safe, healthy pregnancy. With this unique and accessible handbook, filled with all the information required to make a balanced judgement about you pregnancy diet, you can be confident that your vegetarian pregnancy will be wonderfully beneficial for both you and your baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Information, complete baby book, not a cookbook, 14 May 2004
By Bocasdeltorro "bocasdeltorro" (Wokingham, Berkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is not just an exceptionally good source of information on nutrition for vegetarian women (antenatal, during pregnancy and in the months after), it provides tips on how to calm the nerves and fears of meat-eating relatives and friends.

It is also a complete month-by-month baby book, with images and info on the growth of your baby and the changes in your body.

There are no recipes in here, though, so if you are looking for a cookbook, this isn't it. But you will get information on every kind of food, vitamin, mineral, carbohydrate, protein, etc., source you can think of!

1.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't get with this book at all, 27 July 2005
By A Customer
I've bought lots through Amazon over the years and this is the first time I've felt strongly enough to write a review. I've no complaints about the information in this book, but I found the tone and style so offputting that I stopped reading after a couple of chapters and have given it away. Basically it felt like the author was making a lot of assumptions about my views just because I'm pregnant and a vegetarian (for example by speaking about the joys of creating life without taking life (i.e. eating meat)) and it made the book very annoying to read.

I guess I like the 'rough guide to pregnancy' style, which is peer-to-peer, modern, informative and amusing - in contrast this title felt like I'd gone back in time with traditional black and white drawings of pregnant women and couples, over sweet introductions of what to expect at various stages which were probably meant to be inspirational but I think would have looked more at home in greeting cards, and generally a supportive, but to me overly mumsy and patronising manner.

You may find this book great and just what you wanted, it depends on what style you like.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting!, 7 July 2009
By Cotur Olga (Moldova Chisinau) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you have got some time and especially if someone ( future father) is doubtful about the diet you are on- this book will be a good reading. Not a brilliant one but not that bad.
