Book description to come.

As women of childbearing age have become heavier, the trade-off between maternal and child health created by variation in gestational weight gain has become more difficult to reconcile. Weight Gain During Pregnancy responds to the need for a reexamination of the 1990 Institute of Medicine guidelines for weight gain during pregnancy. It builds on the conceptual framework that underscored the 1990 weight gain guidelines and addresses the need to update them through a comprehensive review of the literature and independent analyses of existing databases. The book explores relationships between weight gain during pregnancy and a variety of factors (e.g., the mother's weight and height before pregnancy) and places this in the context of the health of the infant and the mother, presenting specific, updated target ranges for weight gain during pregnancy and guidelines for proper measurement. New features of this book include a specific range of recommended gain for obese women. Weight Gain During Pregnancy is intended to assist practitioners who care for women of childbearing age, policy makers, educators, researchers, and the pregnant women themselves to understand the role of gestational weight gain and to provide them with the tools needed to promote optimal pregnancy outcomes.

If you want to learn how to take control of your health during your first pregnancy, then keep reading. As somebody who has experienced pregnancy 4 times, I learned something new every single time. Every pregnancy is slightly different, but there are plenty of things that I wish I had understood better during my first pregnancy. There are several things mentioned in this book that I didn't start applying until my fourth pregnancy, and trust me when I say it made all the difference. If you are anything like me, being pregnant for the first time is extremely stressful. Don't get me wrong, I was super excited and I knew that I wanted to be a mom, but there was so much that I didn't know. I found myself spending too much time on google looking up my latest morning sickness symptom or researching how certain foods and activities would affect my baby. Despite all of my personal research and knowledge provided by others, there were still multiple surprises around every corner. I knew I couldn't predict the future, but I felt like I wasn't in control as much as I wanted to be. Between what the media portrays and the experiences of those close to you, you might think pregnancy is either all rainbows and sunshine or an excruciating experience that you just have to endure before having a baby. Although pregnancy has its ups and most certainly has its downs, I'm here to tell you that pregnancy is not meant to be suffered through. You can be happy and healthy throughout your entire pregnancy, even when it gets hard. Whether you are worried about finances, future plans, the dynamic of your partnership, or personal health, you can face these challenges head-on and actually enjoy being pregnant. Morning sickness, cramps, anxiety, and depression are all real things that you can (and most likely will) experience in different quantities throughout pregnancy. I would be lying if I said that there was a way to avoid 100% of all the negative things that happen during pregnancy, but there are some things that are out of your control. That being said, this book will teach you how to effectively control everything that is in your power to control. Even when these negative things occur and try to push you down, you can still come out on top. In this book you will discover: Pregnancy is something to be enjoyed, not endured You are much more capable of having a happy and healthy pregnancy than you think The most essential exercise for taking control of your health during pregnancy 3 critical fruits to eat for a healthy pregnancy (hint: you're probably already eating them) How something you learned to do in elementary school can help you gain control of your pregnancy emotions Things you thought would be impossible to accomplish during pregnancy that are actually vital to staying mentally positive The secret to a successful fourth trimester (yes, it's a real thing) If you are going to have a baby, why be miserable for 9 months before it happens? The information and advice in this book is so simple to understand and follow, and will literally make all the difference for you.
