Editorial Review:

Product Description:


When you're eating for two, you need to eat well.

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 nonvegetarian 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.

Fulfilling every nutritional guideline recommended by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Your Vegetarian Pregnancy is the first authoritative guide to maintaining a healthy plant-based diet before, during, and after the birth of your child. Combining complete obstetrical information with sound nutritional guidance, this guide will educate you about:

Basic pregnancy issues, such as fetal development, changes within your body, and preparation for labor and delivery.

What to expect each month, and how to cope with the unexpected.

Key nutrients for your baby and you, with suggestions on how to obtain these through diet, vitamins, and supplements.

The myriad benefits to eating vegetarian during pregnancy, in an entire chapter comparing vegetarian and nonvegetarian nutrition.

With this unique and accessible handbook, you can be confident that your vegetarian pregnancy will be wonderfully beneficial for both you and your baby.




Rating: - wonderful read!
Let me start off by saying I have been veg for 20 years and vegan for 12. I had been looking for info on having a healthy vegan pregnancy but most of what I found had to do with smoking, illegal drug use, etc. which was not helpful in my case. I was over joyed when I found this book. It's an easy read and really informative. I was a bit nervous when thinking about pregnancy and it really eased my nerves. It spells out what you need, how much you need, and where to get it. This book was worth ... Read More

Rating: - Waste of Money
The book is okay and somewhat informative but does not offer any true guidance as to what should a vegeterian woman eat during pregnancy. Very dissapointed. Waste of money.

Rating: - Not as good as I expected
This entire book is in Question & Answer format, which I find rather annoying. It was written by an obstetrician, and contains far too much general info about pregnancy. I have other books for that; I was expecting only information about nutrition from this book. The actual information and tables related to nutrition are the best part of this book, but comprise far too few pages relative to the whole thing.

Rating: - okay book
I didn't really like it and didn't find it helpful. Maybe if you're new to vegetarianism and scared it might reassure you. Being a pregnant vegetarian is no different than being a pregnant meat eater. Just eat healthy foods and you're good to go.

Rating: - Not really useful.
It really didn't help. I have other pregnancy books that weren't veggie, that gave the same information.
