Besides healthy eating, there are some special concerns my practitioner told me to be careful with. I put down into today’s post and share with you. Hope these tips will help you too!
Special concerns:
Weight Gain: Pregnancy is NOT the time to lose weight, even if you are overweight. During pregnancy, the average weight gain for a normal weight female is 25-35 pounds.
Typically, you will gain 1-3 pounds in the first 3 months and approximately ¾ -1 pound per week the remainder of your pregnancy.
If you are gaining weight too fast:
Limit high-fat foods and sweets in your diet. Examples include soda, candy, cookies and cakes. Choose more low fat options such as fruit, yogurt, gelatin or pudding.
Reduce margarine, sour cream, mayonnaise, butter and salad dressings. Try low calorie varieties.
Avoid fried foods. Do not fry meat. Bake or broil instead. Remove the skin from chicken. Avoid foods such as French fries or doughnuts.
Nausea: Nausea is not a sickness, but rather a symptom of several conditions, many of which are not related to the stomach. Nausea is often indicative of an underlying condition elsewhere in the body.
Nausea is also a common symptom of pregnancy. Mild nausea experienced during pregnancy can be normal, and should not be considered an immediate cause for alarm..
Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Keep crackers by your bed and eat a few prior to getting out of bed. Lie down or sit quietly after eating. Avoid fried and high fat foods. Drink liquids between meals instead of with them.
Constipation: is caused by decreased bowel motility secondary to elevated progesterone (normal in pregnancy), which can lead to greater absorption of water.
Drink 6-8 cups of water every day. Eat plenty of fiber, which can be found in foods such as raw fruits, vegetables, whole gains, cooked dried beans and high-fiber cereals.
