By providing a comprehensive look at pregnancy sickness--what it is, how it works, how to manage it, and how to choose which foods to eat and which to avoid--this book offers both comfort and help to an expectant mother and essential protection for her developing baby. Pregnancy Sickness is the proactive guide to a healthy baby that every pregnant woman should read.
