Nutrition in Pregnancy

The pregnant body goes through so many physical and hormonal change where your nutrition will impact your baby’s health. Eating a balanced diet allows you to adequately achieve and sustain a healthy baby.

MyPlate created by the United States of Agricultural Department allows you to get a personalized nutrition and physical activity plan by using the “SuperTracker” program. The five food groups and the amounts required each day from each day based on how far along are incorporated in this program. The great thing about this is that the amounts are calculated based on your your height, prepregnancy weight, due date, and your activity level during the week. The food servings are given in cups, ounces and so forth.
