Pregnant Women

Executive Summary By Kent Pinkerton

During the time of pregnancy, regular care is vital to protect the health of the mother and the baby.

All pregnant women are required to take regular medical check-ups throughout their pregnancy. To support the growth of the fetus, pregnant women should consume nutrient-rich food. Foods like un-pasteurized milk, raw eggs, and processed meats are likely to be contaminated with listeria – a bacterium that can cause premature delivery, miscarriage or even a fetal death. The right amount of exercise can decrease the risk of premature delivery. Yoga, walking, and swimming are some of the safe exercise forms. Pregnant women must try to exercise 3-4 times a week.

Pregnant women should get sound sleep.
