Nutrition and pregnancy

Okay kiddo, let me explain nutrition and pregnancy!

When a mommy is pregnant, she needs to make sure she is eating healthy foods to help her baby grow strong and healthy too. This means eating a variety of foods from all the different food groups, like fruits and veggies, dairy products, protein (like meat, beans, or tofu), and whole grains (like brown rice or whole-wheat bread).

It's also important for mommy to drink plenty of water and other fluids to stay hydrated. This helps her body function properly and helps the baby grow.

Sometimes mommies may need to take special vitamins or supplements, like folic acid, to make sure their babies develop properly. The doctor can help decide if mommy needs any extra vitamins or nutrients.

It's also important that mommy doesn't eat certain foods that can be harmful to the baby, like raw fish or undercooked meat. Mommy should also avoid alcohol and smoking during pregnancy.

By eating healthy and taking care of herself, mommy is helping her baby grow up big and strong!
