Any expectant mother will want first and foremost to optimize her health and that of her growing baby. Proper nutrition is a major key to that effort.The amount of additional calorie intake that pregnant women need, may be a surprise. Only about 300 extra calories per day is recommended by experts. Much more than that can lead to excess weight gain, which is not healthy for mom or baby. An extra tuna fish sandwich or bagel with low-fat cream cheese can do the trick. Avoid the urge to indulge cravings.Some of those calories should come from protein, about 60 grams total per day or about 10 grams per day more than non-pregnant women. Fish, chicken and lean meats are a good source, as are dried beans, nuts and cheese. About 1 1/2 ounces of meat contains 10 grams of protein.A woman's calcium requirement goes up during pregnancy, as well.

I have just recently found out that I have been blessed with being pregnant. My husband and I had tried for 9 months with fertility meds and nothing. But I know that God blessed us with this pregnancy the month we stopped trying with meds. I have had some very light periodic spotting and i have had 1 pregnancy in the past that resulted in a miscarriage. I would like prayer for a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby in 9 months. Also pray for our marriage to continue to grow stronger. Thank you so much!
