Inhaltsangabe

A comprehensive guide to what you should - and should not - eat before, during and after pregnancy, compiled by a dietician, gynaecologist and nutritionist who all work for the Centre for Pregnancy Nutrition, Sheffield. The book aims to provide both background information on the importance of nutrition, and practical, day-to-day advice on how to establish and maintain the optimum diet for you and your baby. Chapters include "Planning Ahead" in which the authors discuss preparing for pregnancy, with topics ranging from the link between nutrition and fertility and the importance of trying to plan for your baby, to advice for would-be mothers with particular concerns, such as vegetarians, allergy-sufferers and those with specific medical disorders. The authors also provide profiles of minerals and vitamins, and suggest recipes to help steer you away from the wrong sorts of food. Other areas covered include food safety advice, tips on exercise during pregnancy, and changing energy requirements through from conception to breastfeeding. This is a book for all mothers who want to be informed about the key role of diet in helping ensure a trouble-free pregnancy and a healthy baby.
