To my pregnant girlies or those planning to get pregnant, here's some key components to keep in mind as you go through your journey of creating your tiny human. 😊
* Keep up with your physical activity (A 30-minute brisk walk daily is beneficial)
* Keep your diet nutrient-dense and go for variety (think colors of the rainbow when eating vegetables and fruits)
* Maintain an appropriate amount of weight gain
* Find a good prenatal vitamin to help supplement your diet, to help keep up with the many demands your body & baby need
Often you hear people tell you that it's ok to eat more because you are "eating for two." When honestly, you really only need approximately an extra 300-500 calories per day during the 2nd and 3rd trimester. Overindulging and excessive weight gain during pregnancy can lead to prolonged labor, delivery complications, obesity in childhood etc.
But be advised, dieting and weight loss is not recommended during pregnancy. Simply being aware of your weight, eating healthfully and keeping up with you dr appointments is sufficient enough to know you are on the right track.
Stay healthy ladies ❤️🤍
