Pregnancy is an amazing time, full of wonder and excitement. But it can be worrying too.

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 provides an instant checklist as to what foods are safe and what you should steer clear of.
