Tips for Pregnancy

Talk to your health care professional about how much weight you should gain during your pregnancy, and regularly track your progress.

Consume foods and beverages rich in folate, iron, calcium, and protein. Talk with your health care professional about prenatal supplements (vitamins you may take while pregnant). Eat breakfast every day.

Eat foods high in fiber, and drink fluids (particularly water) to avoid constipation.

Avoid alcohol, raw or undercooked fish, fish high in mercury, undercooked meat and poultry, and soft cheeses.

Do moderate-intensity aerobic activity at least 150 minutes a week during your pregnancy. If you have health issues, talk to your health care professional before you begin.

After pregnancy, slowly get back to your routine of regular, moderate-intensity physical activity. Gradually return to a healthy weight.

An informed community is a safer community!
