Nutrition
A healthy diet is important during pregnancy. Not only for your well-being, but also for your child's nutrition: a certain balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates determines whether the child gets everything it needs for adequate development and growth.
You should not «eat for two». It has been proven that a pregnant woman only needs to consume 300 extra calories a day compared to a non-pregnant woman. You do not need to follow any special diet.
However, following a healthy diet is essential, just as it was before conception. Eat enough carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, along with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in season for vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, all of which are important for good digestion. Don't forget to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Be sure to add fatty fish (such as salmon, trout, sardines, or mackerel) to your diet. Fish is a source of omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA, which are extremely beneficial not only for you, but also for your baby. Studies have shown that a mother's daily intake of 200 mg of DHA promotes normal brain and eye development in the fetus.
If you have concerns about where the fish is caught, whether it contains harmful substances, or if you generally prefer supplements, you can easily trust PreMama Duo because it contains the amount of DHA you need.
It has been proven that DHA, together with Omega-3, which are ingredients of the preparation during pregnancy, has a positive effect on reducing the likelihood of premature labor.
Vitamin D, which is also included in PreMama Duo in optimal amounts, plays an important role in supporting the «mother - placenta - fetus» system. By the way, the composition of the preparation is carefully selected in accordance with the latest recommendations from the EU and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine on nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
BUY PREMAMA DUOAvoid eating processed food, as it has a high-calorie content and low nutritional value. Reduce the consumption of sweet foods: chocolate, sweets, cookies, and sweet soft drinks.
It is NOT recommended to consume unpasteurized dairy products, pâtés, semi-raw meat, raw or smoked seafood, raw eggs, or cooked salads to prevent possible intoxication. Do not drink alcohol or smoke during pregnancy, and you should also reduce caffeine intake. In any case, if you have any doubts about your diet, consult your doctor or nutritionist.
Lifestyle
Being physically active is very important during pregnancy. This lifestyle will help you stay in shape even as you gain weight. Exercise is great for reducing stress and improving sleep quality. The key is to choose the right type of activity for you. Consider daily moderate walking, swimming, or cycling. A great option is to join a health group for pregnant women.
But whatever physical activity you choose, it is important not to overdo it. In general, you should be able to talk while exercising without shortness of breath. Otherwise, the exercise is probably too intense. Developing a daily 30-minute exercise routine will help you manage.
However, there are types of physical activity that you should avoid during pregnancy. For example, contact sports or any other sport where you may get hit or fall is dangerous and can harm the baby. Exercising your pelvic muscles, which are under a lot of strain during pregnancy and labor, can be helpful. Remember that the baby has no protection against decompression sickness and gas embolism, so scuba diving is definitely not recommended during this wonderful period.
Although your body changes during pregnancy, a healthy diet, exercise, and breastfeeding will help you get in shape quickly after giving birth. Enjoy your pregnancy to the fullest because a wonderful thing is happening to you.
