The Healthy Pregnancy Guide: Healthy Pregnancy Diet and Exercise

By Dr. Elena Smith

You should consume the recommended amounts of vitamins and energy during pregnancy to maintain the health of both you and your unborn child. Real work is equally important during pregnancy as it is during any other stage of life.

This book helps you follow your obstetrician's advice regarding the use of prenatal nutrients. Your obstetrician may recommend a daily prenatal vitamin tablet containing folic acid as well as other nutrients such as iron, calcium, and other minerals, as well as the unsaturated fats docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA). Unsaturated fats are "good" fats, and DHA in particular collects in the hatchling's brain and eyes, especially in the final trimester of pregnancy. Human breast milk also contains DHA and ARA.

Real work is equally important during pregnancy as it is during other life stages.

If you haven't been exercising regularly, your PCP might suggest a gentle exercise program, such as prenatal yoga or Pilates classes, which this book helps you to complete. Take it slow when you first start out not exercising; even five to ten minutes a day is helpful and a terrific place to begin. Assuming you are now really dynamic, this book can help you maintain the positive degree of movement you are comfortable with while also paying attention to your body and dialing back when necessary.
