DESC: This guide, authored by a consulting nutritionist and editor, includes current information that links maternal nutrition to infant behavior, birth defects, and other topics of concern, such as the physiological and emotional changes that take place during pregnancy. Fully referenced and written with the nonprofessional reader in mind, this comprehensive guide clearly explains the nutritional factors that effect the health of both infant and mother throughout pregnancy. High-risk pregnancies are discussed and guidelines introduced to put knowledge into action through the use of self-assessment charts, recipes, and weekly menus for each trimester.
