When knowing that she was pregnant, a woman will definitely try to live healthier. Usually, we then try to not be too tired, and begin to consume foods or beverages that are recommended for pregnant women.

This is consistent with that recommended by doctors. "The principle is 5S: eat healthy, think healthy, resting healthy, healthy activity, and healthy environment. Take care not to stress. Try to sleep 6-8 hours. But the advantages do not sleep too good, you know," said Dr. Samuel Oetoro, SpGK , in the seminar "Protection During Pregnancy" in Indonesia Maternity & Baby Expo some time ago. You are smoking, you should immediately stop this bad habit.

You also still need to do regular exercise. Type of high impact exercise is not recommended. Select a sport such as swimming or yoga. "Sport is the aim to prepare the muscles around the pelvis and hips, so before your next delivery is in a state fit," said Dr. Dovy Djanas, SpOG, in the same seminar.

Special arrangements regarding food, health experts recommend a healthy diet should have started since you are planning a pregnancy. Thus, when pregnant you already meet most nutritional needs.

According to Dr. Samuel, the mother's health should take precedence. When healthy mother, her fetus would also healthy. But do not think any food can be eaten. Foods with preservatives, or snacks such as fried foods, should be abandoned first.

Noting the amount of food intake is also important. Understandably, because it felt compelled to feed for two people (mother and fetus), we who are pregnant and then trying to eat anything, as much as possible. The principle of this kind needs to be clarified.

"If the mother is eating as much, that there is then there is excess calories. As a result at age 6 or 7 months of the womb, the mother has difficulty standing or sitting. In essence, the portion of food should not be counted twice, because it means you only hunt satiety , "said nutrition expert Wied Harry Apriadji in the seminar" Deal with Difficult Children Eat Vegetables "in the same exhibition.

Indeed, pregnant women need a greater calorie intake is. But if you have trouble counting food calories a number of 2000 or 2300, according to Wied there are actually an easy way to find out whether we have fulfilled the number of calories needed. "When hungry, eat ya. Once satisfied, please stop. Do not feel stuffed. Because (when stuffed) also did not make the better growth of infants, only the mother who became overweight," said food stylist a lot of studying this natural healthy diet .

Wied also recalled the importance of diversity of foods consumed. This can be seen from the color of the food. Every day we have to eat vegetables more than one color. "Prepare a minimum of three colors. For example, we make clear vegetable. Usually the contents spinach spinach and corn. Try adding bean sprouts. Or, thinly sliced carrots are also good, you know," she cried.

In principle, when the cooking we do not have fixated on the type of vegetables that are commonly used. "For example, when the wife makes pecel. For the husbands, wives ask dong add vegetables with other colors. Nice or not nice that there are really only in our minds, really." (Source: kompas.com)
