Nutrition during pregnancy
We all want to give our children the best start in life, so itÌs not surprising that a lot of pregnant mothers get a little panicky about what they should and shouldnÌt be eating. In this article, we look at:
Eating for two
What to eat
Healthy recipes and snacks
The role of supplements
What not to eat
Firstly, if youÌve been following a healthy diet before you fell pregnant, chances are you wonÌt have to make any major changes to what you eat. However there are some particular nutritional requirements you should be aware of, as a well-balanced diet contributes to:
normal birth weight for baby
improved fetal brain development
decreased chance of pregnancy complications such as morning sickness, fatigue, mood swings, anaemia and pre-eclampsia
a speedy recovery after delivery
