(Owl Books, 2002, $17). Eating while pregnant can feel like a battle between cravings and common sense. Registered dietitian Somer, a regular on NBC's Today show, has distilled the latest nutrition research, from fertility boosters (try wheat germ) to which foods might help prevent morning sickness (baked fruit), gestational diabetes (whole grains and veggies) and heartburn (sour lemon drops). This edition contains 50 percent new material, some of it startling. One example: Your body can take up to a year postpartum to rebuild iron stores. With plenty of helpful lists--18 snacks to satisfy a sweet tooth and 50 ways to sneak veggies into a diet--this is a good nutrition resource for every pregnant woman.
