How should my diet change now that I am pregnant?
Even before pregnancy begins, nutrition is a primary factor in the health of mother and baby. If you are eating a well-balanced diet before you become pregnant, you will only need to make a few changes to meet the nutritional needs of pregnancy. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), pregnant women should increase their usual servings of a variety of foods from the four basic food groups to include the following:
  • Four or more servings of fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals Four or more servings of whole-grain or enriched bread and cereal for energy Four or more servings of milk and milk products for calcium Three or more servings of meat, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts, dried beans and peas for protein

Pregnancy and Nutrition Of Special concern for Mothers-to-be Although everyone needs the same nutrients, the amounts we need change as our lives change. This message is for all women of childbearing age, mothers-to-be, and growing families everywhere. We will discuss perhaps the three most important phases of nutrient requirements that determine an individuals lifelong health and nutrition status; Pregnancy, lactation, and infancy. We normally think of our nutrition as personal, affecting only our own lives. This isn't always the case though. The woman who is pregnant, or who may be, must understand that her nutrition today will be critical to the health of her child throughout life. The nutrition demands of pregnancy are extraordinary because the growth of a whole new person requires all the minerals and other nutrients, and most in larger amounts. Before Pregnancy Before becoming pregnant, a woman must establish nutrition habits that will optimally nourish both the growing fetus, and herself. She must be well nourished at the outset because in early pregnancy the embryo undergoes rapid and significant developmental changes that depend on her prior balance of minerals, vitamins, and other nutrition concerns. Fathers-to-be are also encouraged to consider their nutrition status. Some evidence suggests that men who consume too few vitamins and minerals, or who drink too much alcohol before conception may damage their sperm's genetic material. This damage can cause birth defects in future children.

Pregnancy and nutrition
Despite the common nausea that sweeps over women who find themselves pregnant, proper nutrition remains essential to both mother and baby throughout the entire pregnancy. In the first trimester, through 12 weeks gestation, many expectant moms experience nausea which may hit them in the morning, mid-day or even in the evening. For these difficult times, crackers make good snacks to get through the period when no food is the best food. One nutritional way to combat "morning sickness" during pregnancy is to eat a protein snack before bedtime, like cheese or peanut butter. This will help the rough mornings when eating is the last thing on your mind, while also supplying essential nutrients to your growing baby. bodyOffer(17768) Protein is one of the most important considerations in planning meals during a pregnancy. A growing baby requires lots of nutrition from its mother to make it to term. Frequently, preterm deliveries can be traced back to an inadequate diet and thus a baby is born early because it isn't thriving and growing inside its mother. Good protein foods are cottage cheese, milk, meats, peanuts and eggs. Each of those can easily be incorporated into a typical day. If nausea continues to be a problem, then protein shakes are a preferable second choice to protein obtained from your diet. Any health food store or even grocery stores will carry a wide array of choices in shake powders which can be mixed with milk or water. Even in between meals, these shakes can add additional protein for your baby while giving you a nice mid-day snack.

Pregnancy And Nutrition
By: Roopa De
Nutrition is the most essential thing during pregnancy. Your diet during pregnancy affects both you and your baby. Adequate nutrition is required to the constant demands of your body. A successful pregnancy depends upon the proper nutrients to assist baby's development and to help you remain healthy. It is not necessary to keep a chart for the diet but however, you can keep a few advised guidelines in your mind. There maybe a higher percentage of still births, undersized babies and brain damages due to the negligence of a would be mother.
  • Take your normal meals. Eat when you're hungry and do not overeat. Take food according to your choice and climatic conditions. Balanced nutrients include chapattis, vegetables, dal, and salads.
  • Carry quality snack food with you and avoid eating at restaurants. This is especially for those who are working.

    • Lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking or improving your diet and exercise habits.
    • Physical exams for both prospective parents, to ensure that overall health is good
    • Losing any excess weight before getting pregnant, so you can start the pregnancy at a weight that's as close to normal as possible (Since pregnancy is a time of increased caloric needs, restricting calories once you become pregnant can be harmful) (Read about " Losing Weight ")
    Giving up alcohol is important too, especially once you become pregnant. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), drinking alcohol during pregnancy can be harmful to you and your baby, so the best course is not to drink at all during pregnancy. In general, women who start with a healthy weight, can gain an average of a pound a week during the second and third trimesters, according to the March of Dimes. Individual weight gain, of course, varies depending on the mother's pre-pregnancy weight as well as her age, so always talk with your doctor about what's right for you.

    Sharma, Rekha Child bearing imposes both physical and mental strain on the body and mind and it is important that the would be mother leads a healthy life during pregnancy. One of the major factor that promotes health and well being of both mother and baby in the womb is a wholesome nourishing diet. Successful pregnancy requires continuous adjustments in maternal body composition, metabolism and the functions of various physiological systems. A nutritional diet is required for the maternal well-being and a healthy baby. Nutritional needs of pregnancy can he divided into three phases of 13 weeks duration each. The approach to estimating nutrient needs emphasises the principle that nutrient intakes should be consistent with long-term health and in energy terms allow for the maintenance of economically necessary, socially desirable physical activity. (FAO/W'HO/UNU/1985) The amount and composition of the weight gained during pregnancy are major determinants of the extra energy and nutrient needs. The rate of weight gain is not uniform throughout pregnancy. Approximately 5% of the total weight is usually gained in the first quarter, and the remainder is gained fairly evenly through the rest of the pregnancy, not exceeding a total of 10- 12kg during the entire pregnancy Energy Cost of Pregnancy About 60% of the energy cost of pregnancy is accounted for by the energy content of the fetus and increments in the maternal tissue, and the remaining 40% is due to a higher basal metabolic rate (BMR) and the extra cost of a normal and heavier body. There is also a variation in BMR depending upon the environment.

    SNDT Women's University, India Introduction Pregnancy is one of the most nutritionally demanding times in a woman’s life. Although it is a normal physiological process, it is a time when the nutritional needs of the mother and the foetus must be met through careful choice of foods. 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. Successful pregnancy requires continuous adjustments in the maternal body composition, metabolism and the functions of various physiological systems. Maternal nutrition during pregnancy has a vital influence on the long-term health prospects of the foetus. Pregnancy is a strain on the human body and nutrition plays an important role. Several important aspects of nutrition and dietary supplementation must be considered during pregnancy. A well balanced diet with increase in calories, proteins, vitamins and minerals is recommended. Child bearing imposes both physical and mental strain on the body and mind and it is important that the would-be mother leads a healthy life during pregnancy. One of the major factors that promotes health and well being of both mother and baby in the womb is a wholesome nourishing diet. Eating well during pregnancy does not mean following a special diet or eating foods that are not ever tolerated. It does mean that attention needs to be paid to getting a good variety of foods in the diet each day and that adequate calories from foods that are high in nutrition are consumed.

    Pregnancy And You P regnancy is a normal physiological process - and it is a time when the nutritional needs of the mother and the fetus must be met through careful choice of foods. It is important to gain weight during pregnancy - current recommendations indicate that 25 - 35 pounds of weight gain is appropriate. Eating right during the pregnancy is a good time to establish healthy eating patterns for life. E ating well during pregnancy does not mean following a "special diet" or eating foods that are not well tolerated. It does mean that attention needs to be paid to getting a good variety of foods in the diet each day and that adequate calories from foods that are high in nutrition are consumed. It does mean that "empty calorie" or "junk" foods need to be consumed sparingly. Aim for a diet with 50% of calories from carbohydrate, 20% from protein and less than 30% from fat. T he pregnant woman only requires about 300 calories more per day than the non-pregnant woman. However, the need for many nutrients increases during pregnancy. Therefore every calorie needs to carry other nutrients with it also.

    Important Nutrients Two nutrients which are especially critical to both mother and baby are Iron and Calcium. IRON: M ost physicians recommend iron supplements for their pregnant patients because it is very difficult to get adequate amounts from the diet alone. Iron is important for building the red blood cells in the fetus and for the oxygen carrying capacity of blood for both mom and baby. Be sure to discuss your iron status with your physician. Here are some foods to include in the diet during pregnancy that well help ensure adequate supplies of calcium and iron: Iron rich foods:
    Lean red meats*
    Poultry, especially the dark meat portions
    Fish
    Dried beans and Peas
    Iron Fortified breads and cereals
    Cooked oysters
    Cooked clams
    Tofu
    Baked Potato
    * Red meats are an important source of iron in the diet. If red meats are not included in the diet during pregnancy, the physician should carefully monitor the iron level in the blood and may need to recommend additional iron supplements.

    Both mothers and fathers need good nutrition to ensure healthy babies. If both are on a healthy diet before conception, one full of natural, unprocessed foods, no other dietary controls are necessary.
    However, most people live on what I call the Great American Experimental Diet of too much refined flour and sugar, and not enough vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. The effects of alcohol, drugs, nicotine, caffeine, and stress during pregnancy have been widely studied. Clearly, it is best for the mother and father to avoid all these things. However, there has not been enough emphasis on preconception nutrition, especially on the nutritional missing link-the Omega-3 fatty acids.
    The essential fatty acids play important roles in helping the fetus to develop properly. One role is in the development of the immune system, which is programmed during fetal life and in the early months after birth. If a pregnant woman eats a diet that overlooks the Omega-3 fatty acids, as commonly happens today, the developing child can suffer illnesses - both mental and physical - related to a weakened immune system, along with other problems.
    Essential fatty acids may play their most important role, though, in the development of the fetal brain. In 1968, Swedish scientist Lars Svennerholm showed that DHA, an important Omega-3 fat, was the major unsaturated fat in the brain, and that the Omega-6 fat ARA was second in prominence. Scientists realized that the fetal brain depended on fatty acids that had to come from the mother, either through her diet or from her own tissues. The fetus, while it could make certain fats, could not create there essential fatty acids by itself.

    Pregnancy and Nutrition Since the most critical time of fetus formation occurs in the earliest weeks of the pregnancy, the woman’s first awareness of her pregnancy is often after that crucial time. So, it is wise to arrange a preconception health review and care visit with a physician to prepare the bodies of ‘mothers to be’ to provide the healthiest physiological environment from the very first day of a developing fetus's journey to an infant. Women over the age of 35 years have increased risks for infants with genetic defects. Genetic screening, prior to conception, is important for Blacks- sickle cell disease; Jewish- Tay Sachs Disease; Mediterranean or Asian or Indian- Thalassemias blood disease. In India 6,000 (aprox) babies are born each year with Thalassemia major. It is now possible to detect this prenatally (at Center for Genetic Health Care, Mumbai, for example) with 99.5 % reliability. Before pregnancy, women should be screened for HIV disease, immunity to chicken pox and rubella, hepatitis B, gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis. All women planning on pregnancy should be immunized to tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox. If not immunized, vaccinations can be provided before pregnancy to protect the fetus of the future. Routine usage of some over the counter medications, prescription medications and vitamins needs to be reviewed to avoid inadvertent fetal toxicity. Some acne medications or high vitamin A consumption cause problems in the early phases of fetal development.
