healthy food for pregnant women needed.....

Hi there! Well, let me just tell you that I have no experience being pregnant but I have sister and friends who have been so I would just like to share with you what healthy foods they have eaten when they got pregnant. I hope this will help. Anyway, as what I have observed when my sister got pregnant, she avoids fatty and fried foods, sauces and hot spices it is because to prevent from nausea and from vomiting. When my friend got pregnant, she eats all variety of foods. she said so that she can get all nutrients needed. She eats foods rich in high fiber like whole-grain breads, cereals, pasta, rice, fruits and vegetables. Well basically, they just eat well-balanced diet. And some exercise too.

that is sweet... cooking for your sister. now i'm missing the time that my brother used to live at my apartment before and we take turns cooking. hehe healthy food for your sister of course includes a balanced meal of lean meat, dairy products, fruits and vegetables. aside from the essential vitamins and minerals, preggies need more calcium (for the bones)-1000mg, iron (for the blood)-30mg and folic acid (for better brain development of the child)-0.4mg. good sources of calcium are orange juice and cereals for breakfast; while dark green vegetables like broccoli for either lunch and dinner. green leafy vegetables would be good too as well as red meat, good sources of iron. when cooking sinigang or nilaga, add those greens. salmon and eggs are rich in iron also. folic acid can be found in bananas, oranges and peaches; legumes and nuts; potatoes, cabbage, and asparagus. i think those can be found in our local market so you can develop a menu suitable for your sister's liking and your skill in cooking. as much as possible avoid too much salt and oil. happy cooking!

Foods that are considered healthy for pregnant women are those that are rich in vitamins and minerals for herself and for her baby as well, and foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals are citrus fruits and vegetables. Fiber foods are also recommended to help her defecate easily and to avoid constipation. Fiber can be seen in oatmeals, wheat breads. Your sister must also take foods that are rich in folic acidfor her child's rapid brain development.

Wow that is a good news infact.Congratualtions to her.Well she must take utmost care, but she should also move herself a bit so that at the time of labour she is not suffering excess pain.For eating she shoudl take atmost care, Dint give her too much oily or cheese or butter to eat, it should be given in limited quantities as they are also important.Not too spicy at all.Tell her to take more coconut water and milk that is best for her.Then veggies are best than meat and non veg stuffs.A lot of fruits is best for her even dry fruits should be given in high quantity.She needs digestable things but the one which are high in protiens, calcium, iron and vitamins.

At that time of my pregnancy the first thing to do is to search in the Internet of what tips to do and food to eat. But the most important is to drink vitamins in prescribe by the doctor. And also, every morning I always exercise like walking and swimming. And I always visit to my doctor. And now I am so happy for my healthy kids.

i think lot of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and minerals are good.make some soups with different vegetables and try to include vegetables that are good in fiber.fruits that give blood to body are pomegranate.so ask the doctor and try to include in diet.banana is easy for digestion and onion too.all i eat is vegetables.i have no idea about meat...i hope this helps.

Salads, vegetables, fruits (lots of fruits), and lots of meat. Make sure that she never touches fast food while she is pregnant, my friend and I have a theory that fast food may very well be behind all of the health problems parents and children have today. Anything with chicken and beef is a good thing to have her eat, make sure the chicken is very clean and well cooked. Give her vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, peas, asparagus, broccoli, and colliflower. Apples, pears, peaches, oranges, watermelons, bananas, and lemons are great fruits to use. There are so many things that you can make. Gralic is another things that is great to use, it adds flavor to almost any dish. Be creative.

Fruits, vegetables, not too spicy or salty. Lean meat, dairy products, whole grain foods. Leave off the soda pop, potato chips and french fries. Eat a variety.

Besides fruits and vegetables, I think cereal is good. I've seen my sister eating all these when she was pregnant. Also, she loved potatoes that much. But she loves to boil them. That's funny; she said that was her crave during that time. But now if I shove boiled potatoes to her, she'll probably throw it back at me. How about some dough but putting vegetable meat inside. Anything bread; mix and match with protein, carbohydrate and little bit of fats.

I sure hope your sister gets along alright & has a sweet, healthy baby. I LOVE BABIES. I THINK ANYTHING LIKE VEGGIES, FRUIT 7& just healthy foods would be o.k. for her. SHE DOESN'T NEED ALOT OF THINGS THAT will make her gain alot of weight that will just make it harder on her. SEEMS like u have a big job. GOOD luck w/it.

I'll bet you can get a diet sheet from the doctor. Call the office and ask. I would also try the internet, just search maternity diets. Good luck

hello. it really is nice of you to ask since you are very much concerned towards the future addition to your family. here is a sample menu: For breakfast: 5 slices bread 1 piece of orange 1 glass of milk Morning Snack: Boiled Saba (banana) 1 glass of pineapple juice For Lunch: 1 cup of rice mix vegetables fish like bangus 1 slice of papaya 1 glass of milk Merienda: Sandwich 1 glass of orange juice Dinner: 1 cup of rice munggo with malungay leaves pork adobo ripe banana

If she is in bed, she will need to eat enough fiber for her digestion. That means vegetables, prunes, corn, whole grain bread. A vegetable soup with bits of cooked meat of any kind would be very good. Don´t give her too many fried food or too much fat. Skip the cauyliflower, cucumber and artichoke. Dry beans should be eaten without the skin. Don´t use spices and go light in the salt. I think that´s about it.

There are graphs on line you could find that will give you the exact amounts of each food group needed during pregnancy. I know at least three servings of milk and calcium is needed. Along with 4-5 fruits and vegies. Since she is on bed rest make sure she gets plenty of fiber and protien. Try to avoid frying food. Pregnant women get heart burn constantly. Also, stay away from any candies or caffiene. It isn't good for the baby.
