Whether you are pregnant for the first time or a busy mum awaiting another arrival, making sure you are eating properly is a vitally important in helping to ensure a healthy baby.
With this in mind, Spatone (an iron rich water supplement) has teamed up with Maggie Evans, a midwife for over 30 years, to develop a free guide to nutrition during pregnancy.
The Guide to Healthy Eating in Pregnancy offers sensible advice about the types of food that will benefit mums-to-be and their unborn babies.
Maggie Evans who currently lectures at Sheffield University, says: “This leaflet provides concise information on the key aspects of a healthy diet during pregnancy, to include the essential nutrients required. Eating healthily throughout pregnancy is known to be an important strategy in which a pregnant woman, together with lifestyle changes, can positively influence the development and wellbeing of her unborn baby.”
The Guide to Healthy Eating in Pregnancy gives sample meal suggestions to make it easier for mums-to-be to get all the key nutrients from their diet. Maggie explains how cravings, such as pickles or milk, can indicate underlying deficiencies.
