Vegetarian, lots of fat free milk, and water. Make sure you take pre-natal vitamins. You should eat healthy, you don't need to eat extra food, just enough that you are satisfied.

Apparantly so. www.activemanukahoneyusa.com says that it is safe to be eaten/used by pregnant women. \n\nI'd really check with your GP though, just to be on the safe side. x

You have decided to become a Mom!  Congratulations!!  I appreciate your eagerness to fortify yourself before becoming pregnant with a child.\n\nAre you so anaemic that you have to take all these vitamins/folic acids?  Excessive intake of vitamins/folic acids is harmful.  \nThe right way to do it to consult your gynaecologist.  She/he will check you up and prescribe, if necessary, the requisite vitamins/folic acids.\n\nFor the time being please maintain proper diet regimen.

I would say sex. My best friend said that is what worked for her. But your husband isn't up for that. Another suggestion would be walking and slow paced exercises that would be ok for someone who is pregnant.

I wouldn't take a darn thing but some saltine crackers. Do not risk any harm to your baby. This will pass once you reach the 3 month mark.

definatly ask a preofessional dietician. i recommend organic food. more whole grains in your diet, veggies, and whole fruits. youre plan looks really vague. eat more of your whole grains earlier in the day, so your body burns them off through out the day.

According to the latest recommendations, pregnant women can safely eat up to 12 ounces of a variety of fish a week. Canned tuna is one of the most commonly consumed types of fish with low mercury levels according to the FDA.   Pregnant and nursing women can safely consume albacore as one of their fish choices. The new advisory tells pregnant women they can safely eat up to six ounces of albacore a week (an average sandwich contains 2 ounces).

I have never heard about the breats, but yes everything else is true. ALso it is ok to take pre-natal vitamins even if you are not pregnant. There is nothing wrong with a little extra Iron in your diet. Doctors even recommend taking Iron if your not pregnant but are of child baring years.

Question: Should I steer clear of fish now that I'm pregnant? \n\nAnswer: No, there's no reason to put the kibosh on all fish. Loaded with protein, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids, fish and shellfish are an important part of a healthy diet. But you're right to be cautious. Nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of methylmercury — a compound known to be harmful in high doses to an unborn baby's or young child's developing nervous system.\n\nFish absorb methylmercury from the water they swim in and the food they eat.  But larger predator fish accumulate the highest levels of methylmercury from their prey because they eat more fish that are higher on the food chain and they tend to live longer. Methylmercury binds tightly to the proteins in fish muscle and remains there even after the fish is cooked.\n\nIn March 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued new guidelines for how women who are trying to conceive, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children can limit their exposure to mercury in fish. They now advise eating no more than 6 ounces (about one serving) of canned albacore or "white" tuna. At the Department of Foods and Nutrition at Purdue University, we tend to be a bit more conservative and recommend eating no more than 4 ounces a week. Albacore tuna contains more mercury than the canned "light" variety, which can be relatively low in mercury.\n\nAccording to the FDA/ EPA guidelines, you should also limit yourself to 12 ounces a week (about two servings) of canned "light" tuna and other cooked fish. Once again, our recommendations are more protective — eat fewer than 8 ounces a week of canned "light" tuna. And you should completely avoid shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish (also called golden or white snapper), tuna steak (fresh or frozen), orange roughy, Spanish mackerel, marlin, and grouper because these fish are at the top of the food chain and contain the highest levels of mercury.\n\nWhile all this talk of mercury may give you the impression that you should avoid fish altogether while you're pregnant, remember that fish is an excellent source of protein, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids — all of which are essential for your baby's development. There are plenty of other tasty varieties — salmon, rainbow trout, and canned mackerel, for instance — that contain low levels of mercury and are high in healthy fats. The FDA considers these fish safe for pregnant women to eat twice a week.\n\nFor more information about the risks of mercury in fish and shellfish, check out Purdue University's Fish for Your Health Web site. You can also call the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's food information line toll-free at (888) 723-3366 or visit the FDA's Food Safety Web site. The FDA site also provides a chart of mercury levels in a variety of fish and shellfish

I had three babies and I always started solid foods around 3 to 4 months.  I would buy fresh veggies from an organic grocer and I would cook them and puree them, then freeze them in ice cube trays for the perfect serving sizes.  You'll know whether or not your baby is ready.

She needs to get more potassium which is in certain fresh fruits and vegetables.  Get her eating as much fresh food as possible. It is likely she is deficient in calcium as well.  Being pregnant makes you need more calcium which is paramount in proper muscle function.\n\n If she eats Roasted Laver seaweed, made in Korea, it is really good because it has nutrients that land plants don't have.  This has a roasted flavor that is not fishy.  It is not Japanese fishy seaweed.  You have to find it at markets that have Korean food.  It is a super nutritious food! It makes your skin smooth (rough bumps on the skin disappear)and is beneficial to preventing acne.\n\nAnother food that is great to balance the body and bring it to optimum performance is GOJI juice. A web site to order it on is www.victorious.freelife.com.  It changes your blood PH from acidic tendency to alkaline which makes your body function at its best.  You can read about the benefits of this newly discovered berry on this website.\n\nHappy new baby.                  FriesianPower

anything un natural that you take can get into your blood stream and into breast milk.... altering the nutrition, quality and quantity.\n\nYou dont need diet pills, being active and breast feeding alone, will help you shed those pounds.  Once the baby no longer breastfeeds, follow up with a healthy diet, and excercise routine.\n\nYour goal should be to stay healthy right now, as you nurture your child, the more healthy you are, the more healthy the child will be.

Just going out for a walk around the neighborhood would be a good start until you get the OK from your doctor for more. And you can take the baby with you. Of course, check with your doctor before you even start the walking. \n\nOnce you get the OK from the doctor, there are a lot of different options available. You could do yoga or pilates at home. Get some dumbbells and a swiss ball and do resistance training. The link below has several articles about fitness training. And again, talk to your doctor. Let him/her know what you plan on doing, and get his/her advice if it is OK.
