Pregnancy:
A Special Time for Nutrition

This eight-page booklet provides pregnant and breastfeeding women with helpful tips and information about nutrition, appropriate weight gain, physical activity, breastfeeding and postpartum recommendations.

The program is based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the most recent diet, weight gain and physical activity recommendations for pregnant women. A food grouping system is used to outline the number of servings of each food group needed to maintain mom’s health and support the growth of her baby. Sections on how to handle common issues such as nausea, constipation, heartburn and lactose intolerance are included. Common questions about rate of weight gain/loss, vegetarianism, supplements, and what foods pose safety concerns are also answered.

This pregnancy nutrition guide is a must-have resource for every pregnant woman!
