5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Read for All Moms, January 26, 2004

I read this book during my second pregnancy. Now pregnant again, I knew I needed a refresher. I realize that many books and magazines provide pregnancy and postpartum information, but author (and mother) Theresa Francis-Cheung includes quotes from interviews with moms that really tell it like it is - from their worries about weight gain to battling postbaby blues. The most helpful tip for me is a list of "Nutrient-Rich Foods" (Chap 22) designed to help you lose weight postpartum. I made a copy of it and posted it on my fridge. I recommend it to all moms, whether this is your first child or not.

Maybe I was expecting too much, but I wish I hadn't wasted my $$$ on this book. The book is dry and contains nothing special. The information written is pretty much common sense thinking. The author really doesn't tell us anything that most of us don't already know. (Avoid "empty" calories from foods such as cakes, cookies, & candy and focus on getting your nutrition from healthier choices.) Save your money, and instead refer to the web or your doctor for information regarding what to eat and how much while pregnant.

I think this was a good book. It wasn't full of ground breaking information or anything, but it was good. The author just reiterates what we know already: eat healthy, exercise, and realize that each woman's body is different and unique. What I really liked was the many quotes from "average" women on subjects such as exercise and pregnancy, weight gain, intimacy after a changed body, and dieting. Makes you feel better to know that lots of other women feel the same as you do. Overall, I probably wouldn't recommend it simply because I could've written it myself! It's pretty basic.
