With new nutritional information available, the benefits of including certain foods in the diet when pregnant have become more apparent, and the strict regimens that older books used to recommend are no longer required.Today, the trend is toward fewer children, thus fewer pregnancies, and pregnancy has acquired it`s own status as a special time to be celebrated - with hip, sexy clothes (Liz Lange maternity, Great Belly Styles at Gap Maternity); exercise classes geared to mothers (Yoga and Pilates classes for expectant mothers); funky accessories (Kate Spade diaper bags). A cookbook that celebrates the joys of eating during pregnancy will be appreciated by this group.How many people partici Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
