The more you read, watch and hear about pregnancy, the more confused and overwhelmed you're likely to become. We're here to help, with expert advice on the only 10 things you really need to do to ha ve a healthy pregnancy and baby.

1. Plan if you can

"Start getting healthy even before you become pregnant," advises Siobhan Dolan, M.D., M.P.H., associate medical director of the March of Dimes. (Already pregnant? Just do all these things as early as possible, and try not to worry.) On your must-do-first list: Begin taking a daily multivitamin with at least 400 micrograms of folic acid, a B vitamin that helps prevent certain neural-tube defects, such as spina bifida; quit smoking, drinking alcohol or using recreational drugs; and see your dentist.

2. Find the right caregiver

"Choose someone who respects you and sees birth as a healthy process and not a disease," says Raymond De Vries, Ph.D., president of Lamaze International and member of the Bioethics Program at the University of Michigan Medical School.

3. Watch the weight gain

Women who gain either too little or too much weight during pregnancy are at increased risk for preterm delivery, regardless of their weight before pregnancy. Overweight moms are at greater risk, too, for pregnancy complications, including gestational diabetes, high blood pressure and preeclampsia. They're also more likely to give birth to larger babies, go through more complicated labors, and have C-sections, and are more prone to surgical complications when having them.

4. Surround yourself with support

Practical and emotional support can be crucial in helping you stay healthy and avoid prenatal anxiety and depression, both common but underreported problems. Your circle could include your partner, family members, friends and co-workers, a childbirth instructor and fellow students, a La Leche League leader, your doctor or midwife, and the doula you hire to help you through labor, delivery and afterward.

5. Know the red flags During pregnancy, seemingly mild symptoms may signal something serious, so never be embarrassed about calling your doctor if anything is worrisome. That includes persistent dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, constant nausea and vomiting, trouble walking, pain or burning during urination, blurry vision, pronounced swelling or decreased fetal activity for more than 24 hours. "About one in every eight babies is born prematurely, so contact your care provider immediately if you havesuch symptoms as uterine cramping that gets stronger, gripping backache, leaking amniotic fluid and vaginal bleeding,"says March of Dimes medical director Nancy Green, M.D.

Does Your Plate Contain Foods To Avoid During Pregnancy?

Do you know which foods to avoid during pregnancy period? If not, then you had better read on. Even if you do know, read on to add to your knowledge regarding the best pregnancy diet.

Raw Meats And Liver

It’s time to avoid raw meats like seafood, sushi, beef, poultry, and others. They pose a risk of toxoplasmosis, salmonella, and E.coli bacteria. Deli meats, which include hot dogs, have resulted in a type of food poisoning, known as Listeriosis, on a large scale. This is specifically detrimental to fetuses. Although the risk is less in deli meats, which to-be-mom would want to risk the life of her unborn baby?

Animal livers are also avoided due to the high amount of vitamin A that they contain. Excess of this vitamin might cause birth defects in your baby. So, it’s advisable to remove liver from your pregnancy diet plan completely.

Fish

Fish containing high amounts of mercury or PCBs (Poly Chlorinated Biphenyls) is sold in many parts of America. Mercury in large amounts might lead to brain damage of your baby or cause delay in the learning processes in your child after birth. In addition to this, it might also lead to reduction in IQ, memory, and concentration in kids.

Soft Cheese

Blue cheese, cambert, feta, soft white cheese, and blue veined cheese are examples of soft cheese. They have higher chances of being contaminated with Listeria bacteria, which might lead to severe illness in either you or your baby.

Artificial Sweeteners

The two most commonly consumed artificial sweeteners are aspartame and saccharin. Although there is no proof of harmful effects of aspartame, saccharin is found to cause birth defects as well as cancer in rats. These sweeteners are generally present in diet sodas, cokes, and other soft drinks. Therefore, it’s best to avoid them. Instead, have milk, fruit juices, and water.

Certain studies have also shown raw sprouts to contain salmonella bacteria. If you want to be on the safer side, stay away from raw sprouts; even better, avoid cooked ones too.

Besides knowing about which food to avoid, you should also be aware of post-pregnancy diet, especially if you choose to breastfeed. This is because whatever you eat and drink passes into your milk, which in turn, passes to your baby.

What Is Best Pregnancy Diet?

Best pregnancy diet is the secret to the healthy development of your baby. Contrary to the popular belief of ‘eat’ for two during pregnancy period, you only need to add 300 calories to your daily diet in order to have a healthy pregnancy and diet.

It might be difficult to maintain a well balanced first trimester diet due to nasty pregnancy symptoms like nausea and vomiting. But this shouldn’t deter you from eating healthy. Discuss about pills with your doctor during pregnancy so that any deficiencies can be prevented.

The key to the best diet is eating a variety of foods. Here is a recommended daily diet chart:

# 2-4 servings of fruits

# 4 servings of vegetables

# 3 servings of protein foods such as nuts and pulses

# 4 servings of diary products

# 6-11 servings of whole grains and breads

# Less quantity of sweets and fatty foods

.

Choice Of Foods During Pregnancy

# Choose fibrous foods like cereals, pasta, whole grain breads, rice, vegetables, and fruits.

# Consume foods rich in calcium such as diary products so that your body gets its daily requirement of 1000-1300 mg of calcium.

# Don’t forget to have foods rich in iron. The recommended daily requirement of iron is 27mg and this can be fulfilled by taking a minimum of 3 servings of such foods.

# Choose at least one food rich in vitamin C. You can select oranges, green peppers, strawberries, grapefruits, papaya, honeydew, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, brussel sprouts, or mustard greens. During pregnancy, you require 70 mg of vitamin C daily.

# Choose at least one food rich in folic acid such as legumes like black beans, lima beans, and chickpeas. Green leafy vegetables are also a good source. You need a minimum of 0.4 mg of folic acid daily for best diet. Deficiency of folic acid may lead to neural tube defects in your baby.

# Choose at least one food rich in vitamin A. However; be careful not to take an excess of this vitamin as it may lead to fetal malformations. Sweet potatoes, carrots, water squash, spinach, beet greens, turnip greens, cantaloupe, and apricots are good sources.

In addition to this, you need to take care of your mineral and vitamin requirements. The best pregnancy diet is one that contains prenatal vitamin supplements. Through these pills, you can be rest assured that your body is getting an adequate amount of minerals and vitamins daily. Always consult your doctor before starting on supplements
