Description

The only guide you need to nourishing yourself and your baby from the first through fourth trimesters, from the bestselling author of The Big Book of Organic Baby Food

When you found out you were pregnant, you were probably given a long list of things you were no longer “supposed” to do. But what you really need is a practical guide to all the things you can do to feel as empowered and strong as possible. The Big Book of Pregnancy Nutrition is the comprehensive handbook to everything a mama-to-be needs to feel healthy and supported for her entire pregnancy—and beyond—from licensed nutritionist, registered dietitian, and mom-of-two Stephanie Middleberg.

This one-of-a-kind resource covers everything from prenatal vitamins and supplements to foods that alleviate constipation and heartburn to preparing for your glucose test and what to cook and freeze before the baby comes. Learn which foods may help your baby’s developing microbiome, decrease nausea, ease labor pains, and build your milk supply.

Inside, you’ll find more than forty delicious, easy, nutritious recipes to fit any preference, including:

• roasted red pepper and asparagus frittata
• butternut squash and apple soup
• miso salmon with bok choy
• lemon coconut energy bites
• chocolate chip lactation cookies

Pregnancy can be hard, but with Middleberg’s expert guidance, you will find that fueling yourself and your growing baby doesn’t have to be.
