My name is Hannah Bajor the Pregnancy Super Coach with over twenty years in the field taking care of women before, during and after their pregnancy.

Our topic is "Pregnancy Diet." First of fall I want to tell you is pregnancy is not a time when you actually go on a diet, but it is a time when you are very conscious of your diet, meaning conscious of everything that you are consuming.

Pregnancy requires the calorie intake of about 2000-3000 calories, which is an average of about 300 calories above the normal non-pregnant intake. The protein intake in pregnancy requires an extra 10 g of protein, but most people generally do not even eat enough protein in their regular day.

Be very conscious of what you eat during your pregnancy. Every day you should be eating at least two eggs along with some meat or fish or chicken. Of course if you are vegetarian you ought to take in a lot of beans and other very high protein foods anyway. Just be very conscious and aware.

Milk is a great product to take in pregnancy because it has a lot of calcium and protein in it. Yogurt is also very, very good. Because of the tendency to get constipated in pregnancy I would include in your pregnancy diet add some extra vegetables and fruit and look at high vitamin C fruits. Brighter fruit normally has higher vitamin C content, and needless to say part of pregnancy diet is to supplement and that is why that we give you prenatal vitamins.

Make sure you are taking the vitamins everyday, watch what you eat, become very conscious of your diet, and enjoy your pregnancy. The more informed you are about all the different aspects of pregnancy then the likelihood is that you are going to have a healthier pregnancy outcome.
