Proper Nutrition During Pregnancy
As an expecting mother you will want to optimize your health and therefore the health of your unborn baby. Maintaining proper nutrition in pregnancy plays a major role in that effort. We have all heard the saying she’s eating for two but that’s not really the case. In fact an expectant mother actually only requires about an additional 300 calories a day to support the growing fetus. Consuming much more then this can lead to unnecessary weight gain and strain on the mother and baby. For instance you can satisfy the increased caloric need with a tuna sandwich or a low fat cream cheese bagel. Although it may be difficult at times you should try to avoid the urge to indulge in ice cream and chocolate cravings.
