Hi,
I am 25 years old.Yesterday I came to know that I am pregnant.To maintain good health what food I need to take.I would appreciate you if you tell me.


Reddy01:) :confused:

I'm sure you will probably get a response from a nurse..

But I suggest taking a prenatal vitamin (if you aren't already). And try to eat balanced meals.

Instead of what to eat - here a few things that I was told to avoid...
* caffeine (I was told to limit one caffeine drink per day)
* Avoid tuna

That's all I can think of right now - but I would contact my doctor's office. Mine gave me a handout that went into complete detail of what to avoid (including medicine). So, good luck!

Avoid caffine, nicotine, alcohol of any form, tuna (?) that one is new to me.

Eating healthy means taking your prenatal vitamins and eating all of your food groups per day. As your tummy gets bigger it will be hard to eat full meals, so eat smaller, but more, meals per day.

Make sure you get enough of all of the food groups, get plenty of sleep.

Yes, avoid medications of all kinds unless your doctor says that they are okay to take. Tylenol is one that is okay to take on an as needed basis.

I did a search on the internet about pregnant woman avoiding tuna - and this is an article I found...

Pregnant women should not eat canned tuna because it may contain harmful levels of mercury, Consumer Reports magazine said on Monday, taking a more cautious approach than that recommended by the U.S. government.

Government tests found instances where canned light tuna had as much mercury, a potentially harmful heavy metal, as white tuna, also known as albacore, according to the magazine’s latest issue.

High levels of mercury in the bloodstream may harm developing nervous systems, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Fish and shellfish are the main sources of mercury exposure for humans

Hope this helps!

Sorry Charlie :eek: I got the spread the love message!!

Thanks for the info, I guess this is one I won't forget now.

Aha, yes I have heard that. Thank you for reminding me!!

It was a little hard to read for my old eyes. But now I remember. I guess this is one I will not forget for a while now. :p

Great job looking that one up!! ;)
