Prenatal Advice What to eat and what not to eat during pregnancy
Cut foods high in fat and cholesterol from your diet; limit daily fat intake to about 50 mg. Avoid swordfish and mackerel, known to contain high levels of mercury. Stay away from sushi and rare-cooked meat and eggs. Avoid food high in preservatives and unpasteurised cheese like Panela and Feta. | |
A glass of wine a night? What about coffee? | |
Pregnancy and music Researchers don¿t know for sure how music affects foetal development, but they know that your unborn child reacts to sounds in your environment. It therefore can¿t hurt to listen to soothing music during pregnancy. Even if it does nothing to help your baby, it will reduce your pregnancy stress. Mommy-to-be music favourites include Mozart for Mothers-to-Be, Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, Grieg¿s Piano Concerto in A minor, Schubert¿s Fantasia in F minor, Miles Davis, Johnny Cash, and Enya. | |
Every pregnancy differs, so make sure to consult with your doctor before adopting these pregnancy tips. |
