Pregnancy - A Few Tips
from: Anil Kumar PammidimukkalaAre you becoming a mother for the first time? Anxious? Nothing
to worry about, make sure you keep in mind a few precautions
regarding weight and diet. What should you weigh?
Not being of normal weight at the beginning of your pregnancy
may effect your recommended weight gain. The ideal should be a
body mass index (BMI) between 20 and 25. BMI = weight (kgs)/
height (meters). Weight gain during the first quarter of your
pregnancy is very little, 3-4 lbs. The second quarter would be a
little better at 12-14 lbs and the third quarter should see a
gain of about 8-10 lbs.
Don't worry if you are a vegetarian. Make sure you eat eggs and
have a lot of milk. If you do not eggs and dairy products, you
need to take care of meeting the nutritional needs through other
means. Grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables and vitamin B should be
able to compensate the nutrient not gained form meat, eggs and
diary products.
Morning sickness is very common during pregnancy. The following
are a few tips to handle it:
1. Keep away from strong odors and smells. Make sure the rooms
including the kitchen in your house are well ventilated.
2. Keep track of foods that cause reactions.
3. Keep nausea easing foods or flavors handy at home and work
place.
4. Get over the nausea as quickly as possible.
5. Do not eat heavy meals, eat more frequently but lighter.
6. Consume more fluids like water, ginger tea, lemonade fruit
juices etc.
7. Have a snack before leaving bed in the morning. It will keep
the nausea down
8. Avoid greasy and rich foods.
Alcohol: When you have a drink, your baby is also doing the
same. Avoiding all forms of alcohol is recommended, since it
could have side effects causing low birth weight, physical
deformities, retardation and other complications. There is no
way to determine a safe alcohol level for pregnancy, avoiding it
altogether is a safer bet. Pregnancy resources are abundant on
the internet and print media. Keep yourself abreast.
