Eating Healthy While Pregnant

Eating healthy is an important part of pregnancy. While it can be hard with urgers, here are 5 quick tips to help you out along the way:

1. Pick Protein- Women need 20% more protein than normal during pregnancy. They should eat food like meat, poultry, and eggs.

2. Stock up on vitamins- Mothers need iron, folic acid and vitamin B6 in their diet. They should eat iron-fortified cereals and lean meats.

3. Drink fluids- They help maintain baby's and mom's blood supplies. To prevent dehydrations, drink 8 to 10 cups of water daily.

4. Relieve heartburn- Relax and eat slowly; small meals are best. Sit up while eating, and avoid lying down for at least an hour after a meal.

5. Pay attention to hunger cues- If mothers wait until they're ravenous, they're more likely to eat large amounts of unhealthy foods.

These are just a few tips to help you out. It's important to eat healthy during your pregnancy and there are many more dietary guidelines to follow. Ask your doctor or primary care physician for more advice.
