Yet another great book by the Bitches! In this volume, they cover their take on vegan pregnancy. If you’ve read Skinny Bitch, some of the information is repetative. They go back through the slaughterhouse debacle, reasons not to eat dairy, and why we should avoid eggs and fish. And then they get into why you need to eat healthy and be concious of your body for your baby. They point out that it’s a huge responsibility. I get that. And granted, I’m not pregnant (yet), but I think that this book was very insightful and different than other pregnancy volumes that I’ve read. They take on breastfeeding, personal care and exercise…and are the same crass, brash, somewhat off-color Bitches I remember from their first two books. I really appreciate that the book impresses the importance of exercise before, during AND after pregnancy. YAY! I’m on the right track. They also spend time talking about stress, cravings (some good information here…I will be doing more research) and just about everything you DON’T want to know. I like the irreverent presentation…it makes me WANT to read it, rather than feeling like I HAVE to. I believe in educating myself before I make a decision, and since my hubby and I will be trying to concieve this fall/winter, I want to make sure that I am as knowledgeable as possible. I believe that we owe it to ourselves to be educated and informed. If anything, this book has further steeled my vegetarian resolve, and my search for more answers. Definitely a good read!
