Teen Pregnancy — Made Easier

 

Teen pregnancy need the right guidance and pregnancy help especially for an unplanned pregnancy. The kind of life and diet you lead defines the health and life of your baby during the pregnancy period.

Whom To Contact During Teen Pregnancy?

Constant pre-natal care from your doctor, nutrition experts and clinic as well as family and friends is one of the basic things to be followed. Drinking and smoking should be avoided at all costs as it causes irreparable damage to the little one inside. Drugs prescribed by the doctor are the only ones to be taken. A balanced and nutritional diet should be top priority.

Correct Nutrition and Medication during Teen Pregnancy:

Since, a teenager’s body is still growing, it is necessary to eat the right amount of food  essential for you as well as your baby. Correct composition of vitamins and minerals are required mainly in case of a teen pregnancy.

 

It is normal to gain 25-30 pounds during pregnancy and the minimum intake of calories per day should be no less than 300.Gaining weight is much more important if you want to breastfeed the child. Never skip meals and avoid junk food as much as possible as this can have very little or no nutrient value at all. If you cannot afford nutritious food, inform your health care providers and ask them for advice and they will enroll you into the Women, Infant, and Children (WIC) program.

Teen Pregnancy & Physical Exercise :

 

No strenuous exercises should be done during this period, but a brisk walk for 15-20 minutes or a game of basketball would be fine.
