POST 1: Folic acid and other B vitamins are incredibly important during pregnancy. They help your
baby to develop properly, and they do a variety of other tasks that make it easy for your child to grow.
There is also proof that it helps with intellectual development and that it makes pregnancy a little less
painful for you.

POST 2: When you’re pregnant, you want to make sure that you’re getting a lot of protein, especially
during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of your pregnancy. There are plenty of sources that you can get this
from, but the best ways to get it is by eating lean meat and by eating nuts (but be careful with the nuts
– there is research that indicates that eating nuts in pregnancy could possibly lead to your child being
allergic to them).

POST 3: Even if you’re eating an almost perfect diet, you could be missing out on the amount of each
nutrient that you should be getting. Remember, you’re actually eating for two while you’re pregnant. If
you aren’t sure that you’re getting enough, then talk to your doctor and see if supplements would be
right for you.

POST 4: Weight gain during your pregnancy is not only normal, but it’s also healthy. If you don’t gain a
lot of weight while you’re pregnant, then your baby is likely not getting the nutrients that he or she
needs in order to thrive. If you’re not noticing a lot of weight gain, then make sure to talk to your
doctor and find tips on how you can bulk up and give your little one what they need.

POST 5: When you are pregnant, your chances of becoming anemic go way up. Your baby is going to
take some of that iron that you’re ingesting and use it for him or herself. That being said, there are a
lot of foods that have iron in them that can help you keep your iron up, or you can work with your
doctor to get a supplement.

POST 6: When you’re pregnant, it’s important that you continue to be healthy with your exercise
patterns. You can usually keep up with the plan that you have, unless the tasks that you are doing
could be risky for you and/or the baby. Talk to your doctor about your pregnancy routine to figure out
the best course of action.

POST 7: Your body is one of the most important tools that you have when it comes to ensuring that
your exercise plan is safe and healthy for both you and your baby. That being said, you want to make
sure that you learn how to listen to it, that you watch your body’s temperature, and that you feel
comfortable with whatever it is you are doing when it comes to your exercise routine.
