Publisher's summary

Prenatal nutrition can be confusing. A lot of the advice you have been given about what to eat (or what not to eat) is well-meaning, but frankly, outdated or not evidenced-based. In Real Food for Pregnancy, you will get clear answers on what to eat and why, with research to back up every recommendation.

Author and specialist in prenatal nutrition Lily Nichols, RDN, CDE has taken a long and hard look at the science and discovered a wide gap between current prenatal nutrition recommendations and what foods are required for optimal health in pregnancy and for your baby's development. There has never been a more comprehensive and well-referenced resource on prenatal nutrition. With Real Food for Pregnancy as your guide, you can be confident your food and lifestyle choices support a smooth, healthy pregnancy.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This should be required reading!

I am currently studying functional medicine/nutrition, and this book perfectly summarizes the main points everyone should be familiar with in order to have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy diet/lifestyle in general. I really appreciated the author's thoroughness (and in some cases, bravery) with everything she included. I'll be re-reading it soon and recommending it to everyone I know!

So informative and easy to read

This book was so informative! And entertaining to listen to (at least coming from a dietitian). Lily builds up her credibility quickly by her obvious through research and explanations of studies. I had to buy a hard copy of this book half way through so I could mark and reread certain sections. Loved it.

All I needed to Know to Nourish Both Mama& Baby!

I am happy to have found this book. It contains a lot of information without going over board with examples or a compilation of testimonials. It is a research/science base approach to nutrition from a wholistic perspective. I am to follow the suggestions and recommendations on this book in combination with any adaptations I may need base on my own nutritional needs throughout my pregnancy. Thank you Lily!

Amazing and Factual

The science is there! I've been eating this way for almost 6 years and through my 2nd wnd 3rd pregnancies which were amazing! No swelling or fatigue. Now pregnant with my 4th, I'm listening to the book. This is literally the best information out there and will contribute to a most enjoyable pregnancy and labor.

You can watch Lily on YouTube with Dr. Ken Berry. It's a great interview. They 100% know what they're talking about.

Lifesaver

I am so thankful this book was recommended to me in my first trimester by a friend that was a new mom. I feel armed with knowledge to care not only for my baby but myself throughout this process.

Essential read!!

I read this book twice while pregnant with my first daughter during Covid; adjusting my diet as I learned. My experience was that, with all these important nutrients drenching my system, I almost never had strange food cravings, almost no nausea, felt very vibrant, and had no other worrisome conditions…& that’s after 5 miscarriages & 9 years of trying. My baby was and is physically and mentally strong.
I appreciate this book more than I can say and I recommend it to people often!
