          Your nutrition and health

          Tips for managing weight gain.

          As you approach the end of your 2nd trimester, remember to keep your weight gain in check. Consider tracking everything you eat in a food diary. This will help you see exactly what you’re eating and when.
          As you approach the end of your 2nd trimester, remember to keep your weight gain in check. Consider tracking everything you eat in a food diary. This will help you see exactly what you’re eating and when.

          Be sure to keep accurate records. Write as you eat, as it can be easy to forget by the end of the day. Be specific about everything, including snacks and condiments.

          After one week, review what you’ve written and ask yourself: Are my food choices providing me and my developing baby with the right nutrients? Where can I make some adjustments? You can also share your food diary at your next doctor’s appointment and ask for recommendations.

          Remember: Don’t be hard on yourself if you cave to a craving. It’s fine to indulge occasionally, and if you do, do so in moderation.

          Make exercise fun and social.

          By now, you may have met other pregnant women at the childbirth preparation class, or at work. Invite other expectant moms to meet up for a walk or another activity you enjoy. Always consult with your health care professional before adding anything new to your exercise regimen.

          • Contractions that occur at regular intervals, that are consistent, or that become more intense
          • Contractions with lower back pain, cramps, or other pain
          • Changes in your vaginal discharge that include spotting or bleeding
          • Water that is excreting from your vagina

          Breastfeeding Disclaimer 

          Breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. When thinking of using infant formula, a mother should be aware of

          1. the financial and social implications of formula feeding,
          2. the difficulty of reversing the decision not to breastfeed and
          3. the care that must be taken to prevent partial formula feeding from interfering with lactation.

          In addition, proper preparation of powder or concentrated liquid infant formula requires the use of boiled water for the purposes of mixing formula and cleaning implements and the manufacturer’s mixing instructions must always be followed. Improper mixing or preparation may make a baby sick. A healthcare professional should always be consulted before initiating formula feeding.
