If you are pregnant, your baby’s development is on your mind at all time. Improving your diet during pregnancy is an easy way to enhance your baby’s health. Chat with your doctor, shop carefully and try them. Changes in food likes and dislikes in pregnancy are connected with your sense of smell and not your sense of taste. 90% of your ability to taste is actually connected with sense of smell.
Our recommendation– Be prepared for certain smells to make you feel physically sick.

Here are some of the foods recommended for pregnant mums-
Eggs. Packed with protein and vitamins D and B12, these nutritional powerhouses are quick and easy to prepare. Try them scrambled or on top of lightly fried rice.

Dairy products. Low-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt are delicious sources of calcium. Try to drink milk a couple of times a day, and include a daily serving of yogurt or cheese (made with pasteurized milk).

Nuts. Portable and non-perishable, nuts and nut butters are perfect on-the-go snacks and excellent sources of protein and healthy fat, which can aid in your baby’s development. Almonds, peanuts, and walnuts are all good picks.

Fruit. Whether fresh, frozen or canned, fruit is high in vitamins and fiber, key in every pregnancy diet since it can help prevent constipation. Read the labels on canned fruit carefully. Go for fruit packed in water rather than syrup.

Thanks for reading and share.

Also, ensure that you avoid self-medication. This is one of the things causing loss of pregnancies and complications during child birth for many Nigerian women today.

Any and Every medication or drug/food recommendation should come from your doctor only. I advice that you speak to your doctor as much as possible, go for regular health checks so as to discover underlying issues before they become complicated. Also, do not miss antenatal classes, even if you've already done it several times during your previous pregnancies. Things change and there may be new information on diseases and pregnancy health that you may need to learn.

Last but not the least, keep track of your pregnancy progression. Use a Pregnancy Calculator to track your pregnancy week by week and know what is required for each trimester. Avoid stress and put on the right type of clothing.

If you have any unusual pains, report quickly to your doctor and make sure you always have people around you. Have fun and stay healthy till your due date. Cheers.
