It is natural to divest some irrepressible cravings during pregnancy, your baby does not justify all excesses. Pounds made during these nine months are sometimes difficult to lose... Watching your diet is essential. By following these recommendations you give yourself the chance of having the most beautiful 9 months of your life.

One of the best gifts you can give to yourself and the little one growing inside of you is a healthy diet. By your third trimester you need about an extra 300 calories daily to meet the growing demands of your developing baby. Your doctor may have prescribed prenatal vitamins or iron supplements. If so, it’s important to continue taking them along with maintaining a healthy diet.

Many pregnant women experience digestive tract problems, from constipation to hemorrhoids, at some point during their pregnancy.

PROTEIN is especially important during your pregnancy. It’s essential to help build your baby’s muscles, ligaments, hair, fingernails, bones, brain tissue, and blood. Also you need plenty of protein to produce enough blood cells to keep up with your increased blood volume. Most women find it easy to include the recommended additional 10 grams of protein needed with an extra 1¼ cup of milk. Other good sources of protein include eggs, cheese, nuts, and dried beans.

CALCIUM is essential for bone formation and growth. Good sources include milk, yogurt, cheese, sardines, calcium-fortified juice, soy drinks, and tofu.

IRON requirements increase dramatically during pregnancy as a result of the increase in your blood volume and the demands of a growing baby. Good sources of iron include red meat, poultry, fish, and liver. Other iron sources include enriched whole grain cereal and bread, green leafy vegetables, legumes, and eggs.

CARBOHYDRATES & FATS are energy foods and should make up about half your daily calorie intake. You need to eat plenty of carbohydrate-rich foods to give your body the energy to help your baby grow strong and healthy. Good sources include fruits and vegetables as well as whole grain and enriched breads, cereals, rice, and pasta. They are better choices compared to the simple carbs found in white bread, white rice, and regular pasta.

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS are also a necessary part of your diet. They help support your baby’s brain and eye development. Good sources are vegetable oils, nuts, olives, and fish that are low in mercury.

FIBER is found only in plant foods and can be a real asset in keeping you regular. Many women experience constipation and hemorrhoids at some point during pregnancy. You can minimize these problems by including enough fiber and water in your diet. Good sources include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dried peas and beans, nuts, and seeds.

Just remember to make sure that you can talk openly with your obstetrician about any problems or concerns. You’ll be able to tell early on whether this person is the right doctor for you. When you and your doctor work as a team, you and your baby will benefit.
