Pregnancy is a miraculous experience—but it also comes with immense responsibility. When a woman is about to become a mother, her body needs not only self-care but also special attention and nourishment for the baby growing inside her. According to expert doctors at EMC Cradle Hospital, Dr. Priya Gupta and Dr. Monika Maheshwari, the right nutrition during pregnancy is the first and most precious gift a mother can give her child.
During this critical phase, there are several key nutrients essential for the baby’s holistic development and the mother’s well-being.
- Folic acid is crucial for the development of the baby’s brain and spinal cord.
- Iron helps prevent anemia and combats fatigue in the mother.
- Calcium strengthens the mother’s bones and supports the formation of the baby’s bones and teeth.
- Protein plays a vital role in building the baby’s cells, organs, and tissues.
Doctors advise that pregnant women should consume small, balanced meals several times a day to ensure a continuous supply of essential nutrients. Additionally, drinking plenty of water throughout the day is necessary to keep the body hydrated and flush out toxins. Most importantly, expectant mothers should listen to their bodies—fatigue, hunger, sleep, and mood changes are all signals that should not be ignored.
If you’re confused about what to eat, when to eat, or how much to eat—don’t ignore it. For any concerns or questions about proper nutrition during pregnancy, consult your doctor or a qualified prenatal dietitian today.
