As an editor at [...], I found this to be the best current compendium of all things pre- and postnatal diet and exercise. Women should pick this up for the super-current nutrition advice, and keep it long after pregnancy for the fabulous recipes.

This book has become my new favorite gift to give to soon-to-be Moms! It is a great resource for all women-even those who aren't planning to have children in the immediate future. Expect The Best is interesting, informative and the perfect gift!

There are many books out there for diet in pregnancy and this is good one to add, but there are some misconceptions out there that you are eating for two or that you need to gain a certain amount of weight during pregnancy. Just like your baby your pregnancy is different and your weight gain is going to vary based on genetics, diet, and exercise. Another great book that looks into pregnancy myths and also has an entire chapter on dietary myths in pregnancy is Hands Off My Belly: The Pregnant Woman's Survival Guide to Myths, Mothers, and Moods <br /> <br />Again, there are many pregnancy food books out there and most of which are written by dietitians and occasional a nurse or physician. The best thing you can do is read, read, and read more and you will have a healthy and happy pregnancy. I would consider this book a necessity for the pregnant and breast-feeding kitchen Rating: 5 / 5 I have heard feedback from patients that really like the recipes in this book and that they are not too hard or time consuming to make since you really don’t have time as a mom.

But everyone can still learn and Elizabeth Ward surprised me with how much excellent information is packed into this easy to read book. She dispells a lot of myths and I love the "Words of Motherly Wisdom" from other real life moms. Good nutrition is so important at all stages of life but when you are pregnant it is vital to watch what you eat, keep food safe, and keep yourself healthy for that developing child. I highly recommend this book to any woman who is thinking of becoming pregnant or is pregnant, even if it is not your first pregnancy!

Liz Ward provides readers with all that and so much more in Expect the Best. New mom's everywhere can rest assured that the information in this book is extremely accessible and understandable, and most importantly accurate and based on the latest science. We mothers (especially new ones!) have enough to worry about without having to worry so much about what we should or shouldn't eat; this book takes all the guesswork out of the equation and helps women nurture themselves during their transition to motherhood. No mother-to-be (or even mother of more than one) should live without this book!
