Manage your weight during pregnancy

Managing your weight properly may also help prevent unnecessary weight gain for mothers to be.

Here are some helpful ideas.

1. Try eating small portioned and healthy foods at regular intervals instead of a few heavy meals.
2. Snacks should be healthy. These can include fresh fruits and vegetables, dried fruits, etc.
3. Opt to prepare healthy meals at home instead of dining out all the time.
4. An increase of retaining water may result if excess salt is added to food.
5. High sugar, fatty and oily foods such as deep fried chips, pizza, etc should be avoided.
6. Do not overdo the cheesy foods if you have cravings for them, as these foods can be high in calories.
