Review of
Instaread Summary of Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy From Doctors Who Are Parents,
Too Edited by Rogers Harms & Myra Wick
Five out of five stars
The book being
described is another in a long list of books about how to emerge from a pregnancy
with a healthy baby, mother and father. A great deal is due to the quality of
the nutritional intake of the mother, healthy eating and the avoidance of
detrimental substances such as alcohol are critical. An extreme case of Fetal
Alcohol Syndrome is mentioned in the first key takeaway of the summary.
Advice on what
to do when you are trying to conceive is also included in the book, looking
through the nine key takeaways it is clear that there is not a great deal of
new material that will differentiate this book from others in the field. Yet,
it is also clear that the advice is sound. There is nothing new, yet it is all
valuable when you are trying to have a baby and then figuring out what to do
when the child is born. Difficulties such as postpartum depression are also
covered.
