1. Protein - 80 grams of protein every day. This will help with reducing morning sickness (haven't had any yet) and prevent preclampsia and other complications.
2. Fats - Red meat, butter, eggs, olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, and dairy. Consuming adequate fats is absolutely vital to baby's organ and brain development.
3. Vegetables and Fruit - Variety of vitamins, minerals, and fiber all important for pregnancy. Eating a lot of green leafy vegetables will raise my vitamin K levels which will help to prevent postpartum hemorrhage.
5. Water - My blood volume will increase by 50% and my body has to provide fluid to replenish the amniotic fluid the baby is in. Drinking a gallon a day can help fight off morning sickness, prevent constipation, and keep baby and I hydrated.
My Diet will include:
- Whole Milk
- Greek Yogurt
- Butter, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, and Avocados
- Cheese
- 2 or more eggs, daily
- Salmon, 2-4 times week
- Beans, ecspecially black beans & hummus
- Red meat & Chicken
- Sweet potatoes
- Fresh colorful vegetables and fruits
- Dark green, leafy vegetables
- Walnuts and Almonds
- Berries
