Most pregnant women are told: 'Don't worry - eat whatever you normally eat. Your baby will get what they need from you.' But science tells a different story: your diet during pregnancy can shape your baby's brain, body and health for life. And somehow, no one has told you the rules. Until now.

When biochemist Jessie Inchausp� became pregnant, she sifted through hundreds of studies and uncovered striking research: choline, DHA, protein and glucose are four key nutrients that can influence a baby's development in the womb; yet most women don't get nearly enough of the first three - and too much of the fourth. And the effects can last a lifetime.

In 9 Months That Count Forever, Jessie reveals science-based hacks to optimise these four nutrients and help give your baby a stronger foundation for life.

These principles can:
- support your baby's brain development, cognitive growth and emotional resilience
- help lower their risk of health challenges later in life
- influence your baby's body composition, organ function and long-term metabolism

Complete with guidance on supplements, nausea, labour and breastfeeding, as well as meal plans and recipes, 9 Months That Count Forever also shares Jessie's deeply honest account of her own pregnancy journey, offering support and reassurance through these crucial months.

This landmark book reveals the extraordinary power mothers hold during pregnancy - and is an essential companion for every parent-to-be.

'This book cuts through confusion with science and heart. Clear, evidence-based and empowering, it's an essential guide for anyone who wants to understand how food supports life from the very beginning.'
