While being pregnant is thrilling, the responsibility of a
growing baby can provoke anxiety about what is and isn't
safe. In The Complete Organic Pregnancy, Deirdre Dolan and
Alexandra Zissu address how you can minimize your exposure
to the invisible toxins that surround us-in everything from
food, cleaning products, and cosmetics to furniture, rugs,
air, and water. Step by step, they tell you where dangerous
chemicals are lurking, why it's so important to avoid them
when pregnant, and what you can do before, during, and after
your pregnancy to protect your child. In this exhaustively researched book, the authors (calmly)
talk parents-to-be through everything from the safest
laundry detergent to which crib mattresses contain toxic
flame retardants. You'll find out how to choose the right
face cream, plastic water bottles, household cleaners, types
of fish, and much more-all with an eye toward keeping you
and your baby safe and healthy. The Complete Organic Pregnancy also features a collection of
personal diaries from well-known writers and organophiles,
including Barbara Kingsolver and Marion Nestle, as well as
recipes from organic chefs. Required reading for anyone
heading into this exciting stage of life, The Complete
Organic Pregnancy is your chance to make a difference for
your children, even before they're born.
