Information on healthy pregnancy diet
“When you’re pregnant, your eating habits become more important than ever.
When you’re pregnant, obviously you will want to be careful what you eat. You’ll want to eat a healthy diet for your baby.
But what is a good diet in pregnancy? First of all, don’t start a weight loss diet! Pregnancy isn’t the time to lose weight. Eat a good, nutritious diet, and you’ll have no problem losing your pregnancy weight gain after your baby is born. If you have a weight problem – if you are either underweight or overweight – then you may need to follow a special nutritional programme during your pregnancy. Discuss this with your doctor. Nor is pregnancy the time to starve yourself.
Some people worry about how much weight women should gain during pregnancy? a range of 8 to 16 Kg is normal but it does not matter much unless you exceed this range by a long way. Few British doctors recommend any special weight gain target. Of course if you gain much more than 20Kg or so it will take some time after pregnancy to lose it. So while you should not diet during pregnancy, nor should you use pregnancy as an excuse to eat all the time, either!”
