Your eating habits
can have a big impact
on the development of your baby. So it’s
important for you to follow a diet that
includes plenty of healthy foods. |
You’ve probably
heard the phrase “eating for
two” before. Pregnancy does require a woman
to increase consumption on a daily basis. The
average non-pregnant woman requires 1,800 to
2,200 calories a day. (42) Pregnant women need
only about 300 more calories per day to meet
the needs of their growing fetus. Your baby
is growing rapidly and needs all of the nutrients
and energy you can provide. |
| A balanced
diet is important |
Important
nutrients for mom and baby include
folic acid, essential fatty acids, calcium, iron and
|
|
|
|
vitamin C, yet many
women are challenged to get the recommended levels of nutrients
from diet alone and need nutritional supplements. |
Prenatal vitamins are
extremely important before and during pregnancy, and many women
continue to take prenatal vitamins throughout their childbearing years. |
There are many
valuable sources for information on prenatal nutrition. However, it’s always
wise to ask your doctor, nurse or dietician for assistance. Your healthcare
provider is familiar
with your health history and can help you make healthy food choices. |
