A moderate exercise routine is
adequate during pregnancy. It
helps with posture and reduces common
discomforts like fatigue and back pain.
Sadly, exercise is not for every pregnant
women, especially those with spotting or
bleeding, threatened miscarriage, previous
premature births or a weak cervix.
Remember, to stop any exercise when your
body is not responding properly and call
health care provider, if necessary.

Salmon, berries, beans, low-fat yogurt,
eggs, and whole grains. These foods provide
proteins and calcium needed for tissue and
bone growth in the baby. They also provide
folic acid needed to prevent neural tube
defects, as well as provide oxygen via red blood cells. The key to a healthy pregnancy is variety.

Being Realistic

Prenatal care is a "prevention" to

complications with pregnancy.

However, this does not mean

obstacles do not occur

because they can with any

pregnancy. It is better to be prepared

and be aware of the problems that

can occur during pregnancy. Ultimately,

prenatal care will give your baby the

best chance at a healthy life.

Keeping Babies Healthy

Prenatal care is meant to keep
mothers and their babies
healthy. If the mother does
not receive prenatal care, the baby is three times as likely to be low birth weight and five
times as likely to die.

but there are many agencies that
