The Complete Organic Pregnancy

organic_pregnancy

The Complete Organic Pregnancy, by Deirdre Dolan and Alexandra Zissu does not read like a medical manual but rather like solid advice from an experienced friend. The book is divided into three sections - “transforming”, “growing”, and “living”. In these three sections, the book breaks down life before, during and after pregnancy and focuses on such topics as food, environment, wellness, fitness and of course, beauty.

The Complete Organic Pregnancy does not try to scare new moms about the environmental concerns in our world but rather explains in a clear and concise manner what the risks are associated with various chemical exposure and product use. It also contains several personal essays from experienced parents.

If you are thinking about becoming pregnant, the most important first step you should take is to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your prenatal vitamin/mineral supplement should contain at least 400 mg of folic acid. Folic acid is important to consume at higher doses prior to and during pregnancy to prevent certain neural tube defects such as spina bifida.

Every supplement is different and there are many inferior brands on the market that use unnecessary fillers. When choosing a prenatal vitamin, it’s important to choose one with the most natural and pure ingredients because essentially, this is what’s going to support and nourish your baby in its early vital stages of life.
