About this listen

Prenatal nutrition can be confusing. A lot of the advice you have been given about what to eat (or what not to eat) is well-meaning, but frankly, outdated or not evidenced-based. In Real Food for Pregnancy, you will get clear answers on what to eat and why, with research to back up every recommendation.

Author and specialist in prenatal nutrition Lily Nichols, RDN, CDE has taken a long and hard look at the science and discovered a wide gap between current prenatal nutrition recommendations and what foods are required for optimal health in pregnancy and for your baby's development. There has never been a more comprehensive and well-referenced resource on prenatal nutrition. With Real Food for Pregnancy as your guide, you can be confident your food and lifestyle choices support a smooth, healthy pregnancy.

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

A very good book on nutrition that everyone that is considering having a child, already pregnant or that just had their baby, should read.

A must read!

The book is very informative and realistic.
In response to the vegetarian review, please not I have myself tried the daily intake of eggs and collage on my pregnancy and this was not unaffordable at all.
I find that my baby is very intelligent and healthy, whilst I wasn’t following everything in the diet as I had a bad nausea while pregnant and I mostly consumed carbs.
Nevertheless I was always encouraged by my next in kind to eat more of the recommended foods in this book and it did really help me and my baby who had a tongue tie and ended up losing a bit of weight, below 7% of body weight, until it was resolved around 2 months old. Being exclusively breastfed and me continuing to take collagen and minimum 2 daily eggs I found I was able to cope better than the days I wasn’t taking as much proteins.
Eggs aren’t unaffordable and the collagen can be phased to suit your money issues but it wasn’t expensive either at £15 monthly expense. Definitely cheaper than eating more meat when this isn’t an option in a daily basis.
I also couldn’t eat red meat, though I tried, I mostly ate salmon and we were able to find in reduce section of the supermarket.
I think this book is an eye opener and it is worth listening before allowing the vegetarian review putting you off.
I believe your child health should be more important than the animals in the world vegans and vegetarians want to save.
There should be a balance in the importance of life, being you and your child the priority.
Also it doesn’t recommend liver 5 times a week, says it can be mixed on a shepherd’s pie, and you only require a small amount which I’m not exactly remembering.
So get the book and assess yourself before allowing the reviews putting you off.
I also felt the book is very easy to listen to as I seem to be falling in a meditative state while driving, both focusing on the book, the road and remembering the content better than when I listen to it in other places.

AN AMAZING BOOK!

Very informative and Eye opener

I wish I’d read this before I started to try and get pregnant. This is a fabulous guide for any woman seeking to optimise their health and that of their child, irrespective of whether you’re pregnant, trying to get pregnant or already in motherhood as the advice applies to all stages. Thank you for the insights!

A great guide for all females seeking to optimise their health
