Nutrition In Pregnancy
First of all let me answer this very often asked question: "I'm pregnant, do I need to eat by 2?". Well the answer is absolutely NO! when you are pregnant, you do need to eat more than you normally do but not by 2. About 300-500 extra calories a day is enough to give your body and your baby the right nutrition. Your body becomes more efficient during pregnancy and is able to absorb more of the nutrients you eat. So consuming twice as much doesn't double your chances of having a healthier baby! instead, it's likely to mean excessive weight gain for you. I have also hear other people saying this to other pregnant ladies: "Eat whatever you want!, this is your time to enjoy yourself"... If someone says something like that to you run as fast as you can! (if you are pregnant you probably won't get very far though- lol) But let me tell you this: is all the opposite! This is not your time to eat whatever you want! this is the time where you should eat HEALTH...
