Zita West, midwife to Cate Blanchett, Stella McCartney and Kate Winslet, shares her expertise in nutrition to help you and your baby stay healthy naturally throughout your pregnancy. It is crucial to eat an optimum diet during pregnancy. Your levels of nutrients need to be high in order to support you through the process of pregnancy, and the baby that you’re carrying inside of you needs the full range of nutrients to be as healthy as possible. It can be difficult and tiring to make nutrient-filled meals, but Zita gives you clear information and simple, easy-to-make recipes. The first section of the book covers details such as what nutrients are important and what they do for you and your baby, and foods that are unhealthy to consume during pregnancy. The second section uses the vitamins and nutrients explained in the first section in 80 delicious recipes. Introduction Your Health (nutrients your body needs as it changes, sources of these nutrients, foods that help with the side effects of pregnancy, the importance of safe exercise) Your Baby’s Health (nutrients your baby needs to grow, what they do, sources of these nutrients) What to Avoid (foods not to eat why they are bad for you and your baby) Breakfasts Light Meals Snacks and Treats Main Meals Desserts.

      UK fertility expert West (Plan To Get Pregnant) here provides recipes and an opportunity to examine lifestyle changes for those trying to conceive. The author believes that the right nutrients provide the right building blocks for making a baby and offers what she calls a "preconception diet." Other topics covered include adrenal fatigue effects, hormonal balance, and "calculating your cycle," along with key antioxidants and blood sugar issues. The discussion of diet and lifestyle addresses the needs of both the man and the woman. Recipes include a Sicilian quinoa bowl, fruit and mango cream parfait, and a "stress busting mocha," with a "five-day fertility detox" plan to follow at the beginning. While healthy diet and reducing stress are common-sense ideas, West uses her extensive experience as a fertility adviser to enhance this useful guide. VERDICT A beneficial approach to fertility, this holistic manual is recommended for couples looking for ways to improve the odds of becoming pregnant.--Barbara Kundanis, Longmont P.L., CO
