“What to Expect: Eating Well When You’re Expecting
I bought the book on transit in Dubai because it’s such a good quality print, (unlike the other “What to Expect” books I got from Malaysia!)and find it useful now 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: 4th Edition
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 this really useful book!
