To eat for two – nutrition and pregnancy
Of which additional calorific contribution will need I?

During a pregnancy, your basal metabolism (or quantity of énergie/de calories which you consume each day) increases, and you will need an additional calorific contribution to support the effort necessary for the development of the fetus. During the first quarter, the majority of the women do not need to increase their daily calorific contribution beyond their normal contribution (from 1.800 to 2.000 calories per day) unless having to compensate because their weight is under the normal at the beginning of their pregnancy. However, although an additional calorific contribution is not necessary during first quarter of pregnancy, a balanced food should belong to your program of daily wellbeing.

During the second and third quarters, you will need 200 to 300 calories more per day. You will not feel any more badly because roast or a banana is enough to fill this requirement in calories.

The rule of the additional calories admits however certain exceptions. The women who, at the beginning of pregnancy, are under their standard weight or make plumpness, the women which are physically very active and the women who suffer from certain medical problems should consult their doctor to know the calorific contribution which is appropriate to them.

To fill this requirement in calories, choose healthy food instead of rich foods in fat contents and sugar. If you are those which like the sweetened delicacies and drinks, you point out that the dehydrated fruits and the fruit juices made starting from concentrates, are sweetened but contain essential vitamins and nutrients (in opposition to the sweetened delicacies). On the occasion a portion of ice cream can pass, but will know that a weak yoghourt cup in fat is a more nutritive means to find in your food calcium than you need.

The women diabetics should consult their doctor or a professional dietetist in order to determine their special nutritive needs during a pregnancy. The expectant mothers who make diabetes must supervise their rate of glycemia attentively in order to make sure that it remains in the normal. Those whose glycemias are too high are likely to have a difficult childbirth. They are as likely to put at the world a baby larger as the normal, and with various problems néonatals. When the maternal rate of glycemia is too high, sugar in excess crosses the placenta and can involve at the fetus of the congenital anomalies or cause an abnormal rate of glycemia to him. The diabetes gestationnel is a type of diabetes which occurs during the pregnancy and disappears after the birth from the baby. The women who present this disorder of health have a very high rate of glycemia which can be however controlled thanks to a balanced food, drugs (seldom necessary) and a moderate physical-activity.
