Children grow up too fast. Before too long the almost indistinguishable speck in your
womb is going to be flying down a hill on a bike with their hands in the air and driving down the
interstate in your new car. Before you know it you’ll be telling them good-bye as they start
college, crossing your fingers and hoping for the best. You’ll never have the opportunity to
nurture them again that you do right now, when they’re safely inside you tucked away from the
outside world.
This is going to be the last time in your life that it’s a piece of cake to get them to eat
their vegetables, so enjoy it! You’re going to spend the next eighteen years (and then some)
trying to convince them that spinach is good for them and that the slimy stuff on the outside of
their carrots is just pulp, but right now you’re making all the decisions when it comes to what
they eat.
There are many diets that are “guaranteed†to help you have a healthy pregnancy, but unless you’re willing to spend the next nine months eating the same things over and over (and over and over and over and…) you’re probably not going to stick to them for very long. That’s okay! Pregnancy Nutrition will teach you how to identify the nutrients you need and keep your own tally going, allowing you to eat the foods that you want while at the same time doing what’s best for your baby.
Just as your child is going to have different nutritional needs when it is born, so too are its needs going to vary throughout its prenatal development. Pregnancy Nutrition will take you through the minute changes you can make to your diet each trimester that will make a major impact on your baby’s development.
