Abstract: An authoritative text for expectant mothers details a nutritional management program that covers the various stages of pre- and post-pregnancy from conception to infant weaning, focusing on a series of medical consultations that an expectant mother would undergo under the Brewer diet program for prenatal care and childbirth. Included are detailed discussions on: optimum nutrition practice in pregnancy; the Brewer diet program for pregnancy; vegetarian pregnancy diets; special supplements to the basic Brewer diet (including a personal nutrition profile questionnaire to assess high-risk pregnancy); a discussion of a variety of situations most likely to interfere with the maternal diet plan; and special nutrition needs for specific high-risk situations in pregnancy. A technical bibliography for prospective parents and health professionals is appended. Question and answer sections are included at the end of each chapter. (wz)pregnancy.
