REVIEW: Eating Well When You’re Expecting

What to Expect: Eating Well When You’re Expecting is the fourth book I have of the “What to Expect” series – you’d think I collect them the way people do for the Harry Potter or Twilight series

I bought the book after browsing through it in the bookstore and find it really useful especially these chapters:

• “Eating Well for a Comfortable Pregnancy” – morning sickness, food cravings, constipation, gassiness and heartburn…
• Healthy weight gain for baby and you – “If you’re gaining too fast!” LOL I definitely do not want to gain 30 kg AGAIN and neither do I want to go on a diet,
• “Foods that make the grade” and “Eating Safely When You’re Expecting” – safe eating for pregnancy e.g. what foods are nutritious and delicious
• “Eating Well While Breastfeeding” – tips for vegetarians too!

While I find some chapters are a repeat of what’s found in What to Expect When You’re Expecting (Third Edition), this book contains more information on healthy eating and nutrition.

What’s best about this book are the 175

“delicious, easy-to-prepare and nutritious recipes developed especially for the mum-to-be and her baby (but yummy enough to satisfy the whole family.)”

I’ve already tried out the Cauliflower and Cheese, Salmon Cakes with Tropical Salsa (thumbs up from everyone!) and Stir-Fry Beef. Will be trying out the other Asian, Italian, Mediterranean, Mexican, Japanese and healthy variations of American recipes next…

If you’re pregnant or looking for a present for someone who’s pregnant, do consider What to Expect: Eating Well When You’re Expecting!
