Title: Read only if you really are perfect
Review: This book drove me nuts. It is one huge condescending guilt trip. You are smart enough to know that you need to eat well and take care of yourself.I followed the diet, ended up with gestational diabetes at 11 weeks, and spent the next two years losing the water I gained from the ill-advised diet. The diet did not give me diabetes. But there should be more discussion and forgiveness of other health factors that may alter the diet and other recommendations. My doctor put me on a diet very different from this book's recommended diet, and I felt like I was cheating my child because I could not eat the "perfect" diet.I strongly recommend Vicki Iovine's The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy.
