Handbook of Nutrition
and Pregnancy

Handbook of Nutrition and Pregnancy, second edition, is written for clinicians and
healthcare professionals who treat and counsel pregnant women and women of
childbearing age. Reflecting new knowledge since the first edition was published in
2008, this second edition has updated recommendations, and it also includes coverage of topics that were not in the first edition, including body composition changes
in pregnancy, US Hispanics and preterm births, epigenetics and diet in pregnancy,
and safe food handling for successful pregnancy outcomes, as examples. This handbook is a resource for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and dietitians, while students of nutrition and dietetics and medical and graduate students
will also find this book a useful resource. Chapters provide historical perspectives
and background supporting the recommendations made in each of the chapters.
Handbook of Nutrition and Pregnancy, second edition, is a resource for practitioners and researchers all over the globe.
