Lots of really great recipes in this book. I have made a few of the meals in it and even my husband who is such picky eater loved the meals.

I bought this book in Kindle Edition and I have to say, it is full of great information for mothers or those wishing to conceive. I will say however, that the vegan section was a little lacking as it focuses heavily on soy. While I am glad to be included in a book about nutrition, vegans don't actually eat this way. There's a part called "Welcome to the World of Soy"... I think it said. I remember thinking, this isn't how things really are and soy is not the only source of vegan protein. While she does mention other non-dairy milks in a couple of locations I just thought the lack of seitan (wheat meat) a glaring error. It's got HUGE amounts of protein, but no mention. Kind of unfortunate, some people will read this and think that they must replace everything with soy products. I'm not anti soy, just pro-diverse diet. So, I still give it 4 stars because it wasn't a vegan book so I can't really say that it wasn't a good one. I'm glad there's an effort here.
Everything a mother-to-be needs to know about healthy eating June 7, 2010
Feathered Quill Book Reviews (Goshen, MA)
Pregnancy is a natural opportunity to focus seriously on nutrition. But where to begin? And, even harder, where to end if you don't want to come home from the bookstore with your arms overflowing with purchases? Fortunately, Catherine Jones and Rose Ann Hudson make this decision easier by packing generous servings of nutritional information for pregnant women along with 150 healthy, simple recipes into just one book.
Eating for Pregnancy combines easy-to-make, nutritionally-rich recipes literally from soup to nuts, with a plethora of nutritional information, healthy eating tips, and dietary guidelines. The authors touch on many useful topics, such as combating heartburn, choosing the healthiest fish, high risk pregnancies, and environmental concerns, to name but a few. Vegetarians and vegans will find plenty of support for making good dietary choices during pregnancy in this book, with an entire chapter devoted to "Vegetarian and Vegan Delights" full of succulent and simple recipes. The second edition has been expanded to include a Nine Months Later section, providing recipes specifically for breastfeeding mothers, an exercise program and tips on dealing with post-partum depression from experts in the field.
Woven into the thorough array of gastronomical guidelines, the authors provide a delightful range of guilt-free recipes that taste as delicious as they sound. Breakfast might be a French Toast Banana Sandwich, a lunch of Asian-Style Turkey Wrap or Crispy Fried Tofu with Sesame-Soy Sauce, and for dinner a Sauteed Salmon on a Bed of Greens with Citrus Vinaigrette. And for dessert? Hmm, will it be Peach and Blackberry Cobbler or Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting? Maybe both? These recipes are so wholesome that you can have your cake - and your cobbler - and eat it too.
The recipes in Eating for Pregnancy are remarkably easy to make, requiring minimal effort. Most can be made in only three steps! The simple ingredients seem carefully chosen to provide the most nutrition and the best taste with the least effort. Both authors are mothers who know intimately about the up's and down's of pregnancy in today's world. They wrote this book to assist real women in a real world. "Considering our time-pressured lives," the authors write, "we tried to make this book as quick to read and user-friendly as possible. At-a-glace nutrient sources, pantry lists, and cooking tips are designed to make your life easier in the grocery story and in front of the stove."
The authors write for an inclusive readership, anticipating the special needs of over- or under-weight moms-to-be as well as teenagers, those carrying multiples, and women with gestational diabetes. However, Eating for Pregnancy seems to be most suited for educated readers who already have a health-conscious approach to eating. Women less knowledgeable about good food choices might become overwhelmed by the advice and some of the recipes. For instance, a woman accustomed to a salad of iceberg lettuce might have a hard time getting her mind around more nutritionally-packed choices like dandelion, sorrel and mustard greens. (Though in my opinion, it's a hurdle worth trying to overcome.)
Healthy eaters will become even healthier with the guidance of this book. Eating for Pregnancy helps women make better dietary choices for themselves and their families, not just during pregnancy, but for a lifetime of good eating.
Quill says: Everything a mother-to-be needs to know about healthy eating, plus 150 nutrition-packed, tasty recipes. Yum!
Very Useful and Helpful Guide/Cookbook! May 6, 2010

Eating for Pregnancy: The Essential Nutrition guide and cookbook is a wonderful tool for all women, especially pregnant women. Whether you know a lot or know nothing about healthy eating for mommy and baby, this book has something for everyone. The cookbook is not only full of delicious recipes (who says you have to be pregnant to make them?!), but also very helpful information on foods the baby needs and that your body needs to help sustain the pregnancy and keep you healthy. Along with these delicious recipes that are easy to make and are what I would consider "normal". The recipes are not flamboyant, but everyday pantry items or easy to find in you local grocery store. There is also a ton of helpful information to help answer any pregnancy questions in regards to your diet and what you should or shouldn't be eating. Some of these questions include; "What should I be eating? What is dangerous and why? If I eat this how is it benefiting the baby and I?" There is also a section for your last 9 months after baby is born. The exercises and eating tips are designed to help you loose the baby weight and regain your body!
This book is truly for those considering having a baby to those who have had their baby and everyone in between! Among the many helpful tidbits of information you will find helpful list that give sources of fiber, vitamin C, and other important nutrients. There is information on how much fish, water, vitamins, and other items that you should or shouldn't be consuming. The recipes are in convenient categorized sections and come complete in a seven day menu planner. The author gives a list of pantry items needed for each categorized chapter of recipes along with time saving tips, storage tips, conversion charts and a variety of other very helpful pieces of information. The recipes range from breakfast to dinner with snack and vegetarian dishes. Eating for Pregnancy will quickly become a part of your family even after your baby is born. The recipes are for families too!
If your pregnant, planning to get pregnant, recently had your baby, are a health care professional or simply like to collect cookbooks or are interested in good nutrition, Eating for Pregnancy is for you! It would also make a wonderful gift for any expectant mother to be! It is well worth the time and money.

I shopped online for this book for my daughter who is a great cook and lives out of town...her first baby, my first grandchild. (Sniff, sniff.)
She has tried several of the recipes and raves about each one. She is working and also having "morning sickness" but is able to enjoy cooking with the help of this book.
