Nutrition

Even before pregnancy begins, nutrition is a primary factor in the health of mother and baby. A well-balanced diet before conception contributes to a healthy pregnancy and will probably need few changes. One of the most important things a woman can do to ensure a healthy pregnancy for herself and her baby is to eat a well-balanced diet. Good nutrition during pregnancy is essential to creating an environment that allows the baby to grow and flourish.
When you are pregnant, your baby grows inside you. Everything you eat and drink while you are pregnant affects your baby. Healthcare officials have issued a new advisory on the dangers of eating fish. Healthcare officials are concerned that the level of mercury in fish might pose certain risks to a developing fetus.
Food can be contaminated with a bacteria called Listeria. Learn to protect your food against this common bacteria.
The average recommended weight gain during pregnancy is 11kg to 15kg. There is no need to eat more food during pregnancy. It is recommended that for the first trimester, a woman’s energy (kilojoule, kJ) intake should remain about the same as it was prior to the pregnancy. During the second and third trimesters, energy requirements should increase by about 600 kJ a day. Increasing fruit intake to four serves each day (from the recommended two serves for non-pregnant women) will provide all the extra energy needed.
