Wellness: Healthy eating in Pregnancy
Like most pregnant women I suffered from morning sickness in early pregnancy, making it hard to eat a healthy balanced diet. I supplemented with a multi-vitamin and tried to stay hydrated, but in early pregnancy I did loose weight, which isn't uncommon. Now that I am over twenty weeks, the sickness has faded and trying to eat healthily has a whole new set of challenges, with cravings and feeling extra hungry making it easy to overindulge in things my baby and my body simply don't need.
Baby brand Organix have recognised some of the struggles that pregnant women face and have launched a guide to eating well in Pregnancy. I thought I would share some of my favourites with you and how I am going to be implementing them to make the rest of my pregnancy as healthy as it can be.
If like me you are struggling with cravings for things you probably will want to limit, take a look at this fantastic Junk food swap guide that Organix have developed:
Cravings aside I have been trying to add in more of the nutritious foods, I especially love dark leafy greens such as Kale, packed with iron. We all know oily fish is a brilliant source of Omega 3 and essential for the babies brain development as well as your own wellbeing, personally I choose to supplement with a high quality blend suitable for pregnancy as well as getting some of my intake through food.
I know with the festive period coming up I will be indulging at times, as we all do. But I will be trying to return to eating as healthily as possible shortly after. Organix has lot's more advice, recipes and facts about eating well in pregnancy as well as nutrition for children which you can find on their website www.organix.com.
Are you struggling with eating well during pregnancy, did you have cravings?
