I hate to admit this (but since we're friends, I'll go for it) but I take *NO* supplements. Never have. I've bought them in the past (One a Day or something like that) but never remembered to take them. I'm thinking the vita nutrient book may be a good one for me to read, as I'd not even know where to begin in getting vitamins....

I'm open to recommendations, BTW. I'm female, 33, and done with having children. Not sure if that matters but figured I'd throw it in there.

Barb -I agree that the induction phase isn't the whole plan, but I must say I was shocked at the 'short' list of induction foods in the '72 version compared to the list in the newer versions. Maybe, however, my memory is failing me and the list of foods is similiar - I'd check but my '02 version is on loan.

I do agree, though, at the end of the day (i.e. OWL and onward) it's the same plan.

Barb, you've also read PPLP which I've heard is an excellent read. But I believe it's a long book, yes?

Leah - welcome! When I was prego with DS#2 and had no idea the gender of the baby (though I knew it was going to be a girl), Leah was one of the names I had picked out for a girl. And Lee - I was going to spell it Leah but I've seen PLENTY of girls spell it the way you do....
