Pregnancy Nutrition: A great start for Baby (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781499745115)

Product Description As a mother-to-be you assume a significant responsibility. Giving birth to a new individual to love and to cherish is a wonderful experience. Providing that individual with good health and proper future development for its life ahead lies largely with your care and attention to your pregnancy. Where possible, that care and attention should start some three months or more prior to conception. Often conception may come unexpectedly, in which case lifestyle changes and optimal diet changes should take place immediately. The science of nutrition continues to develop at a rapid pace. The "Grandma told Mother, and Mother told me" information does not keep up with the new studies which show the importance of specific nutrients which contribute to the health and brain development of the baby in the womb. Adequacy of these nutrients can have far-reaching impacts on your baby's later scholastic achievements in childhood and adolescence. Locating relevant up-to-date, scientific evidence-based information on these nutrients is a difficult task for mothers-to-be. The author, a Specialist Nutrition Consultant, has lectured to doctor groups throughout Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Hong Kong and Taiwan. He was a guest speaker at both the 2005 Obstetrics & Gyn cology of Singapore Congress and the 2006 Obstetrical & Gyn cology Society of Malaysia Congress. This book is informative, interesting, and well-written on a specific aspect of pregnancy that more general pregnancy guides do not cover in detail. A well-balanced overview of key factors which can play an important role in the proper development of your baby in the womb, this book is a definite "must read" for the discerning mother-to-be wanting to give her baby a great start in life.
