The Complete 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.

Everything you want to know about organic food, plastic toys, baby bottles, cloth diapers, baby care products, household cleaning products and labor (natural or epidural) can all be found in this book. No need to search the internet for hours on each topic.

This is a must-read for all new moms and new dads! Pregnancy is not just about nagging mom to take her prenatal vitamins, eat well and keep active. Everything mom does during pregnancy affects her little baby and it’s up to dad to also be conscious and aware of lifestyle habits. Many air pollutants are found right in our own homes and can be eliminated by choosing non-toxic paints, using eco-friendly cleaning products, removing off-gassing carpets and over-all purifying the home of all the harmful chemicals that would be absorbed by mom.

If you or someone you know is pregnant, pick up a copy of this book! You’ll find it a wealth of ‘green’ knowledge!
