Keeping Up Your Nutrition While Pregnant
How do you think your next nine months will be? Truly great, these 9 months will be full with joy, happiness, excitement, body changes and diet and maybe even mixed emotions. No matter what, this time of your life is surely something you will never forget and you will tell to your children time after time. As exciting as this might be, there's a lot of cautions that you have to remember because you are pregnant, especially with what you are eating.
Many women think that once they are pregnant, they will be free to eat anything they want. This is a common issue. Actually, when you are pregnant, you should be more wise with what you eat because this goes to your unborn as well. Your babys development is affected by the food you eat so eating right is certainly something you should do.
Because of your pregnancy, you can be at risk of aquiring gestational diabetes. Be mindful to not eat a lot of sugar. Caffeine shouldn't be eaten as well. Artificial sweeteners are not good either as there are studies showing that it could impair your babys development.
Even some fruits like strawberries should not be eaten. These fruits have a lot of sugar content that is not good for your condition. Choose bananas because of their potassium content. You should also have food with fiber to help stay regular.
Make sure that you have at least 2 glasses of milk daily. Your doctor may also recommend milk specifically designed for pregnancy. This has all the nutrients that you need and calcium which is helpful for your babys bone and brain development.
Oily food should be avoided. Similarly, intake of salty foods should be minimized as salt retains water. You can get edema, or swelling of ankles and feet, because of the water retained in your tissue due to the salt that you take in.
Finally, it is good to know that eating right while you are pregnant includes drinking correctly. Take at least 8 glasses of water daily. A baby floats in water and if you are dehydrated, they may not have enough of the fluid they need everyday. Just remember, that the better you eat, the better your baby will be. - 17273
