A great companion guide January 10, 2010
Plan B (Tucson, AZ USA)
This book is a great guide for dietary needs in pregnancy. There are some great pearls of information and the author is well respected in the community and has been on numerous talk shows for the book and she delivers some great recipes as well. There is a great chapter on one of the most frequent questions regarding the safety of fish and then another chapter on heartburn and how to deal with the rigors of frequent heartburn. Another myth out there is that you are eating for two and the author dissects how this is simply not the case and what is a good goal for weight gain. I think this book is a great companion guide to the main pregnancy books and deserves its place in the pregnancy library of any woman. The dietary myths were some of the more fun areas and I think this book would go greatly with another book on pregnancy myths Hands Off My Belly: The Pregnant Woman's Survival Guide to Myths, Mothers, and Moods
Great Gift Idea! August 4, 2009

Getting pregnant and maintaining a healthy pregnancy can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. Frances Largeman-Roth has written a book that makes the importance of pre-natal nutrition easy to understand and extremely accessible. She prepares the reader from the pre-planning stages of pregnancy to the "big as a house" moments with humor, helpful nutritional/lifestyle hints and super yummy recipes that would soothe the wackiest of pregnancy cravings. Feed the Belly would be a spectacular gift for newly expectant moms as the information provided is current, hip, healthful and most of all fun to read.

What a perfect book for all grandparents-to-be to give their expectant, or soon-to-be expectant, daughters and daughters-in-law. Much better than our outdated and possibly resented advice! Although this book is so delightful, Grandma will probably read it first or buy two copies and keep one for herself.
Largeman-Roth takes the reader on the journey from pre-pregnancy through the child's birth and breast feeding. As an encouraging, never judgmental coach, she explains how pregnant mothers can best take care of themselves and their babies by discussing what foods are healthiest and why. In a supportive tone, she offers the mother-to-be realistic advice on everything from food cravings to dealing with gas to healthy snacks to eating out at fast food places to drinking enough water to surviving morning sickness to best equipping your kitchen.
Largeman-Roth must have a great sense of humor--this book is fun! It's also remarkably easy to read and understand despite the large amount of nutritional information it contains. There is nothing dry or boring in "Feed the Belly". Largeman-Roth makes it all seem simple. She comes across like a helpful confidante who wants you to follow her advice without being compulsive about eating healthy.
There's a whole chapter on exercise--something that other pregnancy nutrition books skip completely. It includes a list of places to buy hard-to-find maternity exercise clothes, as well as a list of yoga poses that are safe for pregnancy. With obesity such a looming issue these days, Largeman-Roth does the reader a great service by encouraging pregnant women to get--and stay--active. And that's good news for your grandkids too.

If you're trying to get pregnant or are pregnant, this is a book to have on your must-read list! These days when pregnant women everywhere are told what to eat and what not to eat and considering that eating is one of the things always on our minds, it's nice to have a guide that takes all of these things into consideration. This book not only discusses amounts of nutrients needed and how to get them, but yummy recipes to use that are "pregnancy safe". It's an easy read that will give you many, "I didn't know that!" moments. My favorite parts of the book are the "Belly Tips." Small tips throughout each chapter that provide you with creative ideas to use like -- how to drink more water and get more folic acid. Seems simple, but Largeman-Roth really provides easy tips that make you say, "What a great idea!" You'll love it from beginning to end.
a "need to have" resource! May 1, 2009

Finally, a nutrition guide for pregnancy that we can actually understand AND FOLLOW! This book is an excellent resource for any pregnant, or trying-to-become-pregnant, woman. Chock-full of delicious and easy to prepare recipes and snack ideas, it provides smart food guidance to meet all the nutritional needs required for a healthy pregnancy, while also addressing special diet needs faced by many women. The recipes are varied, and really help satisfy those pesky pregnancy-induced cravings! The author also includes great advice on safe excerises to help ensure a fit and healthy pregnancy. A must-read for all soon-to-be moms.
