Special recipes/snacks for pregnancy?

[Shoushig]

Hi all, I'm 15 weeks pregnant, and was raised in a macrobiotic way by my mother since i was 12 (i'm 34 now). Although i have Aveline & Michio Kushi's book about Macrobiotic Pregnancy, i was wondering if anyone knows special pregnancy recipes or websites i can go to. Many thanks!

Hello S---
There is an excellent old macro book by Cornelia Aihara called "Macrobiotic
Child Care." I found it on half.com The first edition was done in 1971 and the last in 1979. It may be out of print, but you might try some used book websites or stores. Wish I could be of more help. Annie

Shoushig,

This is an interesting article by David Briscoe that addresses the importance of the mother's contribution to the life, condition, and constitution of the child/new person:
