Pregnancy: Nutrition And Supplements For Expecting Mothers by The Sapiens Network

PREGNANCY: NUTRITION AND SUPPLEMENTS FOR EXPECTING MOTHERS

LEARN EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO OPTIMALLY NOURISH YOURSELF AND YOUR BABY

ABOUT THIS BOOK

Nutrition is important for both the fetus and mother during pregnancy, so it's essential to know what foods are healthy, which nutrients they contain and how much it’s needed.

The fetus relies on its mother's diet for proper development. If the mother does not eat enough nutrients in her diet or if she consumes too many empty calories (calories from foods that do not provide any essential vitamins or minerals), then this can negatively impact the health of her child.

For example, eating a poor diet can lead to low birth weight babies with increased risk of illness later in life, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease. On the flip side, eating a nutrient-rich diet helps promote healthy fetal growth and development when consumed before conception through every trimester of pregnancy and until after delivery.
