What to Eat When You're Pregnant

A Week-by-Week Guide to Support Your Health and Your Baby's Development

By: Nicole M. Avena PhD

Narrated by: Chloe Cannon

An approachable guide to what to eat - as opposed to what to avoid - while pregnant and nursing, to support the mother's health and the baby's development during each stage of pregnancy.

New research suggests that the foods you eat during pregnancy can have lasting effects on your baby's brain development and behavior, as well as your waistline. Drawing from the fields of medicine, nutrition, and psychology, this easy-to-follow guide gives you a clear understanding of what your body really needs and how certain foods contribute to the development of a healthy and happy baby.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

somewhat dated advice

conflicting information provided with current studies; not intuitive eating friendly. tw for weight stigma. I loved the week by week recommendations for foods and nutrients, but half the book felt like it was focused on not gaining weight.

A great guild line to start with with recipes

I'm an IVF patient and hearing the first section about vitamins scared me but I do wish she had stated that most prenatals already include them. she also talking about how sugar and fats are bad but never really gets into how much are ok and what kinds and what actually made them bad. but over all a nice book to get a start on a positive direction
