Healthy Pregnancy

The goal of every pregnant woman should be to have a happy, healthy pregnancy, and provide a healthy environment for their developing baby! This is the time in your life when you want to be practicing healthy diet habits, and eating for your health.

Your baby will be eating and drinking what you eat and drink. If you are eating healthy foods, your baby will be eating healthy foods. If you are eating junk foods, so will your baby. If you are drinking alcohol, your baby will be also. Take the extra care and thought to plan Lifestyle Solutions that will allow for a healthy full term pregnancy. Your babies’ health should be foremost on your mind!

Unhealthy Pregnancy Habits

A few unhealthy pregnancy habits that pregnant women should be aware of: 

• Pregnancy and Alcohol - Is it ok to mix Pregnancy and Alcohol? Ask yourself, "Is Alcohol really that important to me that I would chance my babies' health?  Please DO NOT drink while pregnant!


• Pregnancy and Autism - Pregnancy and Autism is a hot topic as almost 1 percent of all babies born, will be diagnosed on the autism spectrum. There may be genetics involved, but there may be environmental triggers also! 


• Pregnancy and Chemicals - Pregnancy and chemicals do not mix!  Exposure to  environmental chemicals should be avoided as much as possible while pregnant, because chemicals can harm your baby.


• Pregnancy and Fish - Pregnancy and Fish may not go together if you don't take precautions.  There are four types of fish that the American Pregnancy Association recommends to avoid due to higher mercury levels.


• Pregnancy and Teflon - My recommendation for Pregnancy and Teflon, would be to use stainless steel cookware instead, while you are pregnant and your kids are young!


• Stress and Pregnancy - Repeated Stress and Pregnancy can be associated with increased risks for your pregnancy!  Take the steps to eliminate stress and to enjoy a healthy pregnancy with no long term effects to your baby!
