Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Now, let's focus on ensuring it's a healthy one. According to the National Women's Health Resource Center (NWHRC), your lifestyle choices over the next nine months?"what you eat, drink, your physical activity, and your weight?"all play a crucial role in your child's current and future health.
A recent NWHRC report highlights how prenatal conditions can impact your child's well-being for decades. For instance, research shows that alcohol consumption during pregnancy can increase the risk of your child developing alcohol addiction later in life, even after just one binge. Moreover, a mother's nutrition is linked to a child's future risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
The takeaway? Eating well today sets the foundation for your child’s health tomorrow.
Eating Right During Pregnancy
There are two key aspects: what you eat and how much weight you gain.
What to Eat
Focus on nutritious foods that provide essential vitamins and minerals.Weight Gain
For many, pregnancy is a time when gaining weight is encouraged, but moderation is key. In the first trimester, stick to your regular calorie intake. After the first 12 weeks, add up to 300 extra calories per day.- Normal Weight: Aim to gain 25-35 pounds throughout your pregnancy.
- First 20 Weeks: Gain no more than 5-10 pounds.
- Remainder of Pregnancy: About a pound per week.
If you're overweight, it’s advisable to lose some weight before getting pregnant. Overweight women face increased risks of emergency cesarean sections, gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, miscarriage, and delivery complications.
Your healthcare provider will assess your weight at your first prenatal visit and guide you accordingly.
Always discuss any special dietary needs with your healthcare professional, especially if you follow specific diets like vegetarian or vegan.
Focusing on healthy habits now will greatly benefit both you and your child's future.
