This is MUST READ for every person who wants to get pregnant, is pregnant, has recently had a baby, or loves and supports someone through pregnancy! Jessie provides science and information on how a mother's diet during pregnancy affects her child for the rest of their life. What I learned was eye-opening, and quite honestly, alarming as I have had 6 babies and was never aware of this information. I will absolutely be telling everyone I know about this book. Thank you Jessie for the work you do!

Great pre pregnancy/early pregnancy Read

This book was very easy to understand and interpret. I felt like the way that elements were described were very reader friendly and it was just a very insightful book. I will be recommending this book to all my friends who will be trying to conceive or who are pregnant.

Such an amazing book about pregnancy nutrition, it is honestly life-changing. I loved that compared to some other books I have read it focused on the most important nutrients for pregnancy without overwhelming with information. The science is clear and direct and I would highly recommend it to anyone planning to be pregnant.

This is a very informative book with scientifically backed nutrition advice that is accessible to any person who is pregnant or wanting to become pregnant. I feel empowered for future pregnancies and I think you can tell how passionate the author is about the content of this book. I recommend to anyone who is currently pregnant or wishes to become pregnant.

I learned more from this book about the human body than I did in any science or health class. This book should be a required read by all women and partners.
