Nine Months That Count Forever

In this groundbreaking book, Jessie Inchauspé shines a long-overdue light on the critical role of blood sugar health during pregnancy, not only for a mother’s well-being today and across her lifetime, but also for the health of the next generation. It offers healthcare providers and mothers-to-be the answers I have shared with women for decades in my work as a midwife and physician. I am thrilled to see this knowledge so clearly articulated and widely amplified. We have the opportunity to profoundly impact women’s lifelong health, and pregnancy is one of the most powerful times to do so. This book is an important key.

I love this book. Jessie Inchauspé’s Nine Months That Count Forever is a revelatory guide that transforms the outdated ‘bun in the oven’ myth into an empowering call to action, showing how everyday food choices during pregnancy can profoundly shape a baby’s brain, body, and lifelong health. Backed by rigorous science and laced with the author’s warm, personal insights, it’s the essential companion every expecting parent needs to nourish not just survival but thriving.

As a registered dietitian who has spent her career helping women understand their bodies, I can say this book is a breakthrough. In a world where women are still expected to navigate pregnancy with guesswork and guilt, Jessie offers truth, science, and grounding. She has a rare ability to turn complex biology into practical, life-changing tools, giving women clarity instead of confusion, and empowerment instead of fear. This work is not just helpful – it’s revolutionary. Every woman deserves the knowledge in these pages.

Jessie’s book offers beautifully clear, science-based guidance to help expectant mothers optimize their babies’ health. By focusing on essential nutrients like choline and omega-3s, she makes it easy to understand how to best nourish the developing baby’s brain and body. This book is not just a guide, it is a blueprint for maximizing the potential embedded in pregnancy and beyond. I highly recommend this vital information for all future mothers.
