Nutrition Needs During Pregnancy

nutrition in pregnancy: why do so many women disregard healthy eating while pregnant?
IMHO, it is SO important to eat correctly during this time. However, it seems as though during pregnancy some women eat worse than ever and use the pregnancy as an excuse. I understand that cravings have a play in this, but many doctors will agree that craving an item such as mac’n'cheese is your body’s way of saying it needs a certain nutrient found in mac’n'cheese, such as calcium.
there is no need to be snippy…. i’m just asking: why? i think it’s unfair to the unborn child. why doen’t the kid deserve a better chance at health than something that came out of a fast food window?
we have been taught that nutrition in general really doesn’t matter. doctors don’t get proper nutrition education during their training and many of them don’t fully realize it’s importance. it’s ridiculous that they specialize in obstetrics which is the abnormality of pregnancy and there are so many conditions that could be prevented or atleast lessened if more women had good nutrition.
dr. brewer was a brilliant doctor who came up with the brewer pregnancy diet and his patients had VERY low rates of pre-eclampsia and toxcemia which he found can be controlled by diet!
i have been following the brewer pregnancy diet and have gained the perfect amount of weight and have been feeling WONDERFULLY! i try to tell every pregnant woman i can just how important their diet is. education is key!
