Staying Healthy During the Pregnancy Yields Benefits

Staying Healthy during Pregnancy yields Benefits afterwards:   written by Niva Herzig, PT

Staying healthy while you are pregnant is not only beneficial to your baby, but to you too.  This holds true whether it’s your first child or your tenth.  What does staying healthy mean?  A combination of proper diet, exercise and sleep. 

Just because you are pregnant, doesn’t mean you need to double your caloric intake.  In fact, caloric increase only needs to occur during the 2^nd and 3^rd trimesters and by 300 calories.  Take in fluids regularly in order to maintain hydration, especially when pregnant during warmer months and during exercise.  Continue eating meals consisting of all food groups and keep sugars at a minimum.  Include in your diet fruits and vegetables, whole grains and protein.  Remember to eat foods rich in Calcium, Iron, Folic Acid and Vitamin C.  Be aware of foods that may harm your baby such as unpasteurized cheeses or raw fish and meats.   Make sure all meats are cooked and are not eaten raw to avoid exposure to harmful bacteria.  Additionally, minimize the intake of caffeine.  Once your baby is born, remember to continue eating a well balanced diet and increase fluids especially if breast feeding.  For more specific issues and concerns speak with your physician or consult with a nutritionist. 

 Staying active is very beneficial to you and your baby.  Read more

Abdominal Muscle Separation; What you need to know

Pregnancy brings on many changes to your body.  When I treat women during or after pregnancy, many ask me about their abdominal muscles.  When assessing the abdomen postpartum, I always check for the possibility of a separation between the right and left most prominent abdominal muscles, the Rectus Abdominus muscles which run vertically along the abdomen.  Most of you know these muscles as the “six pack” muscles.  Read more
