Pregnancy can be a scary yet exciting feeling at the same time. There are many questions and concerns that soon-to-be mothers address on a daily basis, but where do they get their answers from? There is no better way to prepare yourself for what lies ahead than listening. Individuals have been kind enough to share their knowledge and experience with us, so why not take advantage of that? Pregnancy: Everything an Expecting Mother Needs to Know About Childbirth and Motherhood was written to help ease some of these questions and concerns.

Here is what you can expect from this book:

• Foods to eat and to avoid while pregnant.
• Dealing with your body's changes.
• The benefits of exercising while pregnant.
• Taking care of your newborn baby.
• Getting to know and understand the behaviors of your baby
• Safety measures you should take to ensure your baby is safe

Did you know that proper nutrition during pregnancy is essential for your baby's growth and development? You should consume at least 300 more calories daily than you did before you became pregnant. This should include foods that are rich in all the essential nutrients for your body and your baby's development. The recommended daily requirements include two servings of fruit, 11 servings of grains and bread, four servings of dairy products, four servings of vegetables and three servings of protein foods.

Not worth it

This book really didn't have any information you couldn't really find on pregnancy blogs or websites. It was very dictatorial - "you should" "you must" "you need" - and was mostly just a list of do's and don'ts. Might be useful for a newly pregnant woman who just wants to know basics, but again you can easily find this information online for free.
