Pregnancy is an amazing time, full of wonder and excitement. But it can be worrying too. You know it's down to you to eat and drink in a way that will keep your baby safe and provide the ideal fuel for growth and development. But for most of us it's far from clear exactly what that means.

So what should you eat - and what should you avoid? What's healthy - and what's not? And if there is a risk involved with certain foods, what exactly is the risk and how big is it? What are the nutrients that a growing baby needs and what can you eat to provide them? Do you need to take supplements, and if so, which ones?

This handy, compact book is your saviour. It's the definitive healthy eating guide for pregnancy and provides an instant checklist as to what foods are safe and what you should steer clear of.
