Answer 1

go to pregnancy weekly website they have all that info

Answer 2

How should I gain weight?

Good thing you asked! Because I'd tell you anyway! Remember that eating for two doesn't mean eating twice as much. In general you do not need to add any more than 200 calories a day to your present diet. However, it's what you eat that really counts.

Making sure that your diet is nutrient dense, that is full of good things for you and your baby as opposed to junk food that is full of fat and sugar. This means at snack time reach for fresh fruit instead of a candy bar. Add some cheese to your crackers.

Most women will notice a slight weight gain in the beginning of pregnancy, usually 6 - 11 pounds during the first trimester. Some of this is water weight, so of this is materials needed to help your baby grow. Your baby is still very tiny at the end of this trimester. The majority of the weight will be fairly evenly spread over the last two trimesters, about a pound a week, with a little more at the end. It is also quite common to notice a cessation of weight gain, perhaps even a slight weight loss at the very end of pregnancy.

If you notice that you've put on several pounds one week, look back at your diet. Did you changes your dietary habits? Your practitioner will also use your weight gain as an indicator of baby's growth and in looking for potential problems.

Remember slow and steady wins the race!

Answer 3

Months 1-3 nothing extra except a prenatal vitamin, and generally good healthy eating (lots of fruits and vegetables, lean meats/protein sources, lowfat dairy products and whole grains).
Months 3-6 approximately 300 extra calories plus vitamin.
Months 6-9 plus when breastfeeding approximately 500 extra calories plus vitamin.
Underweight women ideal weight gain 35-40lbs
Normal weight women ideal weight gain 25-35 lbs
Overweight women ideal weight gain 15-20 lbs
Pregnant women need to focus on good intake of iron, calcium and folic acid. Babies will 'leech' nutrients out of your body if you're not taking in enough, which isn't good for your health in the long run! Hope this helps.

Answer 4

just a prenatal. Usually you only need an extra 300 calories.

The mothers prenatal nutritions doesnt effect the health or weight of the baby. They've done studies. So long as she eats and was healthy to start with the baby uses everything her body has in it, whether she eats it or not.

The prenatals and good eating are so her own body has the nutrients it needs to replenish itself AND feed baby.

Answer 5

Your OB/Gyn should have you on a prenatal vitamin which includes folic acid. If you have low iron you may also have to take that (I took Slow-Fe). But there are many good web sites out there for lots of information on all pregnancy issues including nutrition. Here are a few I found:

Good luck and congratulations!

Answer 6

I just know that you're suppose to have at least 800-1000mg of folic acid. The rest I believe you can get from a prenatal vitamin.
