At last! Here's a mommy-friendly pregnancy cookbook that won't make you feel guilty when you want a chocolate chip cookie. Isn't it enough you have swollen ankles, gas, and heartburn? You deserve to satisfy those cravings and have a little fun reading the dozens of "Pregnancy Survival Tips" and wise words scattered thoughout from other women who have been there too.

Organized by trimester and their associated food issues, all of these recipes will please your taste buds and promote the health of your baby. Try a snack of Mommy's Fruit Salad to fill you up without blowing you up; a Quease-Busting Dip you will surely be able to keep down when all else fails, and Aunts Bon's Bread-and-Butter Pickles when the ice-cream you've just gobbled up seems to cry for company.
