Weight Gain DURING PREGNANCY  Gaining the right amount of weight during pregnancy helps to make sure the pregnancy outcome for both mother and baby is healthy. Women who gain too little weight are at risk of having a small baby (less than 5 1/2 pounds). On the other hand, women who gain too much weight have a greater risk of having an early baby or a large baby. Additionally, gaining too much weight during pregnancy may be associated with health problems such as gestational diabetes, high blood pressure (preeclampsia), and varicose veins in the mother. In addition to weight gain associated with the growth of the baby during pregnancy, pregnant women store fat to prepare for breastfeeding. Women below optimal weight need careful monitoring and meal planning advice in preparation for breastfeeding. The chart, “Where Does Weight Gain Go?” highlights the typical distribution of weight during pregnancy. GOALS FOR WEIGHT GAIN          Goals ...

OTHER FOOD INGREDIENTS  CAFFEINE  Many pregnant and breastfeeding women are concerned about consuming too much caffeine. Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, some soft drinks, chocolate, and some over-the-counter medications. Most research finds that it is safe for both pregnant and breastfeeding women to consume moderate amounts of caffeine. Moderate caffeine intake is considered to be about 300 mg/day. This is typically about the same amount that is found in two to three 8-ounce cups of coffee, depending on the type and strength of the coffee, or six cups of tea. Pregnant and breastfeeding women don’t have to give up their morning cup of coffee, tea, or soft drink. However, if their usual coffee consumption is more than two to three cups per day, it would be wise to cut back until they are no longer pregnant or breastfeeding. With that in mind, women who are planning to conceive may want to limit caffeine consumption to less than 300 mg/day. This includes caffei...

Pregnant women should choose foods and beverages that are “nutrient-dense,” or rich in nutrients. Nutrient-dense foods are packed with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, and have relatively few calories. Choosing a variety of foods from all five food groups (grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat and beans) will help to ensure that a woman gets the nutrition she and her growing baby need. However, there are a few nutrient-dense foods that pregnant women should avoid due to food safety concerns. MyPyramid.gov is an excellent resource for specifics regarding the amount of calories individual moms-to-be and new moms should consume. PROTEIN  Protein is found in many foods. It helps maintain muscle and body tissue, helping the body to produce some hormones and antibodies. Pregnant women should take in 60 grams of protein every day. This is only 10 grams more than non-pregnant women. Lean meats, poultry, fish, dairy products, and legumes (beans) are good sources...
