Eating for Two: The Complete Guide to Nutrition during Pregnancy

Author: Mary Abbott Hess

Foreword by Roy M. Pitkin, M.D.
The definitive book on what to eat and what to avoid during pregnancy. Here is the most authoritative and readable guide available for pregnant women concerned with proper nutrition.

Library Journal

In this updated and revised edition of the out-of-print Pickles and Ice Cream (1982), the authors provide a thorough review of current research findings on prenatal nutrition. They include ``quick quizzes'' to assess nutritional knowledge; Recommended Daily Allowance tables and charts; and a useful chapter on the dangers of food additives, caffeine, and alcohol. While this book is for general readers as well as health-care professionals, it unfortunately tends to read like a textbook. Another pregnancy nutrition guide that is easier and much more fun to read while providing medical accuracy is What To Eat When You're Expecting by best-selling authors Arlene Eisenberg, Heidi Murkoff, and Sandee Hathaway ( LJ 11/15/86). An optional purchase.-- Angela Washington-Blair, Brookhaven Coll. Learning Resource Ctr., Farmers Branch, Tex.
