About Pregnancy
Congratulations you’ve done it. You’re happily pregnant. Pregnancy is a natural event, a primal condition that is all about feelings and changes within your body. You are a woman of childbearing years and pregnancy is a normal and natural state for your body to experience. Your body automatically knows how to grow and nurture this baby within you. You are going to make some wonderful discoveries about yourself and your body, about your emotions, thoughts and your beliefs. These are going to open up a brand new magical world for you; a beautiful and mysterious time that may on occasions seem a little daunting and unsettling. And this is all perfectly normal. How you experience your pregnancy depends on many factors. You can choose to read books and discover what is happening physically to your body or decide to listen to the advice of those who have been pregnant before you. However, remember that you are a unique individual, and that the story of your pregnancy is your very own special story, your own experience, one that will be just right for you.
Diet and Pregnancy
During pregnancy your body and the growing baby require a healthy balanced diet that includes organic vegetables, salads, fresh fruits, whole grains, fish, lean meats, and organic seeds and nuts. You also need to increase your fluids and more particularly water. This is because your kidneys are now filtering waste products for two. You may also need to take some vitamin and mineral supplements. Your Naturopath or Doctor will be to advise you about this. If you have been wise enough to prepare your body for pregnancy by nourishing your body with organic fresh foods, and avoiding those foods affected by pesticides and chemicals, then you will most likely have a healthy and trouble-free pregnancy.
