An updated edition of this definitive guide to dietary health and nutrition for expectant mothers

Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy is a reliable reference for women who want more than just a "how to eat" guide. Fully revised in a smaller trim size, this edition features new menus and recipes as well as the latest findings on how a mother's nutrition during pregnancy determines her child's risk for heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other diseases later in life. You'll find clear explanations of
--what foods to avoid and why
--the role of vitamins and minerals and how to choose the right supplements
--how what you eat affects your labor and delivery
--dietary guidelines for pregnant women over thirty-five, as well as for pregnant teens
--how diet helps prevent common problems, from morning sickness and food cravings to heartburn and muscle cramps
--which foods and nutrients speed your recovery after the baby is born
