Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) are Vital for Baby Brain Development


In Pregnancy Without Pounds, Michelle Moss reminds us that Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are a vital nutrient during pregnancy both for your baby and for you, the new Mom.

EFAs are absolutely necessary during pregnancy for the development of your baby's brain.  Your baby's central nervous system and immune system depend upon essential fatty acids.


A great benefit of ingesting EFAs is that they help to control appetite and reduce food cravings.

The best sources of EFAs are:
  • salmon or other oily fish
  • nuts and seeds
  • green leafy vegetables
Just as necessary during pregnancy is the nutrient Magnesium which helps to develop proper bone growth in your baby and after delivery, magnesium is important as it helps to repair your uterus muscles.
Foods high in magnesium content are: nuts, seeds, whole grains, salad greens and soybeans.
When I was pregnant I would love to eat fresh fruit,yogurt, muesli and honey.

The Importance of Doing Kegel Exercises During Pregnancy


If you do kegel exercises while you are pregnant, you can prevent the tearing of your perineum during labor, having an episiotomy during delivery and suffering from urine leakage after you have given birth.
It doesn't matter what stage of pregnancy you are at, you can begin these exercises today.

Kegel exercises keep the pelvic floor muscles toned and tight.  If you keep them strong you are most likely to have an easier birth and prevent the problems mentioned above.  Learning to do them correctly is essential:
not only do you need to squeeze the inner muscles of your vagina, you also have to focus on tightening your anal muscle.
To learn how to do Kegels properly as well as other key pelvic floor exercises, get a copy of Pregnancy Without Pounds and CORE Strength Secrets for Pregnancy.
