About the Author
Margie Profet is a former Research Associate at the University of California/Berkeley and Visiting Scholar in the Department of Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Washington, Seattle.
From Library Journal
Profet, an evolutionary biologist and winner of a MacArthur Prize Fellowship, theorizes that first-trimester pregnancy sickness is the body's way of protecting the embryo from foods that might cause birth defects. Addressing women in their first pregnancy, she "provides a framework for understanding why the first-trimester woman gets pregnancy sickness," then she offers practical advice. Writing in great detail and very lucidly, Profet asserts that hers is the only book she knows of that addresses the role of pregnancy sickness in protecting the developing embryo. She seems to be right. Written for the educated lay reader, this is recommended for consumer health collections.
