Customer Reviews

Thank you for your feedback, from the author....

To respond to reviewers comments:Tofu - I checked a variety of protein values for tofu, and while not consistent, all are lower than those listed in my book. This and all other factual information will be checked and corrected in the next edition. (This is Important!!!!)Iron anemia - I think it is interesting that a slight anemia is a NORMAL result of pregnancy. Obviously it is not the ideal!Too many stories - these comments sure date my pregnancy - to a time when vegetarian diets were spurned by most people, especially for pregnant women. Fortunately, times have changed, and even books like mine have contributed to a cultural change of heart on this. I am VERY glad to know that reassurance is no longer a problem worth so much space in a book.Recipes - I am not a recipe person, and did not make the leap into providing recipes for others. However, this is clearly a weakness in the book. The next edition will include them, most definitely! Finally - This book holds the kind of information I wish I'd had when I was pregnant. It is exciting that things have changed so much since then. Thank you all for your feedback. May all your pregnancies be happy and healthy. Sharon
