Pregnancy Nutrition

Eating healthily and safely is important, no matter which stage of pregnancy you're at. Our healthy eating articles will help you to plan the best possible nutrition for yourself and your unborn baby. We've also got some great ideas for delicious meals you can cook now and put in the freezer. You'll be glad you did in those first few hectic weeks with your newborn.
Without a doubt, a nutritious, well-balanced eating plan can be one of the greatest gifts you give to your soon-to-be-born baby. Adopting a healthy eating plan before pregnancy is ideal, but no matter how many weeks are left on your countdown calendar, it’s never too late to start! Supplying your own body with a tasty blend of nutritious foods can not only improve your fertility, keep you feeling healthy during pregnancy, and pave the way for an easier labor, but it can also help to establish essential building blocks of growth and overall health for your child.
The food we eat on a daily basis affects how our bodies work, how we heal and grow, and how we maintain energy and strength for years to come. It also determines the basic nutritional health that our children are born with, and provides a model for their eating habits during childhood and beyond. Pregnancy is the one time in your life when your eating habits directly affect another person. Your decision to incorporate delicious vegetables, whole grains and legumes, lean protein, and other wise food choices into your eating plan before and during pregnancy will give your baby a strong start in life.  Read more on your Pregnancy Follow-up Handbook.
