Eating Healthy During Pregnancy

Starting off your with a healthy well
balanced diet is the best thing you do for yourself and your baby.  This way, you'll only need to make
a few adjustments during your pregnancy.

Your first trimester If you find it tough to maintain a balanced diet
during your first trimester, you can rest assured that your not alone.  Due to queasiness, some  women will eat all of the time and gain a lot of  weight in the process.  Other women have trouble getting food down and subsequently lose weight. 

Preventing malnutrition and dehydration are your most important factors during first trimester. 

Calories When you are pregnant, you need to consume around
300 calories more than usual every day.  The best way to go about doing this is listening to your
body when you are hungry.  You should try to eat as many foods as possible from the bottom of the
food pyramid.

If you gain weight too slow, try eating small meals and slightly increase the fat in your diet.
You should always eat when you are hungry, as you are now eating for 2 instead of one.

Calcium, By the second trimester, you'll need around 1,500 milligrams of calcium each day for your bones and your baby', which is more than a quart of milk.
Calcium is something that's missing from many diets.  Along with milk, other great sources for
calcium include dairy products, calcium fortified juices, and even calcium tablets.

Fiber, Fiber can help to prevent constipation, which is a common pregnancy problem.  You can find fiber in whole grains, fruits, and even vegetables.  Fiber supplements such as Metamucil and Citrucel are safe to take during pregnancy.

Protein, Unless you happen to be a strict vegetarian, your protein intake is not normally a problem for women who eat a healthy diet.

Iron, A lot of women will start their pregnancy off with a bit of iron deficiency.  Good sources of iron
include dark leafy green vegetables and meats.  Iron supplements should be avoided, as they can cause internal symptoms such as cramping, constipation, or diarrhea. 

Vitamins, Seeing as how you get a majority of the vitamins you
need in your diet, you may want to discuss prenatal vitamins with your doctor.  Folate is one of the most important, and if you are getting enough of it, you
may be able to avoid vitamins all together - just ask your doctor to make sure.

    1. Terimakasih sebelumnya, maaf mas sengaja saya membuat postingan berbahasa inggris, karena blog saya ingin saya isi artikel bahasa inggris. Tapi anda tidak usah hawatir nanti saya update juga postingan berbahasa indonesia, masalah sumber postingan saya tidak copy di blog mana pun, silakan anda tes di tool-tool uji copas yang anda tahu. Postingan ini saya tulis sendiri, kalau gambar memang iya saya ambil di google image, dan saya sudah tulis sumbernya. Saya tahu anda ini sarjana berpendidikan tinggi dan blog anda lebih baik dari pada blog saya. Sedangkan saya hanya lulusan SMA dan blog saya tidak sebaik blog anda. Tapi saya mohon dengan anda, hargailah saya sebagai penulis.
