useful, but more details please!

I thought this book was interesting and informative, but not beyond the second chapter.

The second chapter on nutrition runs through detailed information about all the essential nutriants and general dietary guidlines. This is the best section of the book if you want to understand what to eat and why.

Unfortunately, the month-by-moth guide is greatly lacking in detail and information. I think there is too much general (and very unnecessary) commentaries, such as complications from eating fish or having a venereal disease. I'd rather have had more information about what exactly is happening with my body and my baby's, what foods are ideal for what stage in development.

So, if all you need is some (fairly comprehensive) information about nutrition and very general information about your pregnancy, this book should be fine. On the other hand, I've not seen a better book that deals with vegetarian pregnancy, particularly because the author is so reassuring about maintaining a vegetarian diet during pregnancy.

Great Reference!

As a vegetarian, I have many questions about what to eat while pregnant or trying to conceive. I feel that this book does an excellent job outlinging the main points of a vegetarian diet and pregnancy. In a simple question and answer format, the author clearly provided information for all my questions. I liked that it was straightforward and simply put without overdoing it on the herbal remedies like other books I have read. It is a good reference!
