safest foods to eat during pregnancy

Every pregnancy is unique on its own. People tend to give advice to pregnant women a lot on what to do and what not to do during pregnancy. The most important thing to do is to sift the truth from the lie.
Some pregnant women eat a lot during pregnancy and hide under the myth that they are eating for two. that is TOTALLY FALSE. The most important thing to do is eat healthy, try not to overeat.

1. Eat lots of Vegetables
We all know Vegetables are good, but the question is do we eat vegetables everyday? Try to eat a generous serving of vegetables everyday, it detoxifies your system, you feel good and even look healthy when you eat lots of vegetables. You can snack on a carrot while you are at work.Try cooking two or more Vegetables at once, you would love it.

2. Drink Lots of Water
Yes, its a cliche, but its the truth. Water is good, not everyone loves to drink water a lot. I read in an article that its good to consume more than five litres of water daily. Am not a fan of water myself, I force myself to drink lots of Water. It might not be convenient but its good for you and your baby.

3. Eat Variety of fruits
Fruits are good but be careful not to eat the same type of fruit everyday, mix and match, so you can get different nutrients. Oranges, Grapes, Tangerines, Pineapples, Apples, among others.

Dressing Your Baby Bump

Congratulations on your bundle of joy, Now that you are expecting a baby, you want clothes that depict your style. Most Women wear maxi dresses which can be overwhelmingly clumsy for women who rarely wear maxis. It is important you look beautiful and stay true to your style.

Wear Bright Colors
How I love Nikki of beautejadore.com. When she was pregnant, she made most of her clothes(am not saying you ladies should do that) She wore lots of bright colored clothing and even wore heels which to me is scary. Your body is changing, you want to be very comfortable, its understandable. the first three months of pregnancy can be very tiring. that does not mean your clothes have to be boring. Most people still wear their regular clothes in the first three months. Look at Nikki in this lemon dress, she was just 3months pregnant. you can also look fabulous and attractive in your baby bump.

Wear Denim
Denim looks so beautiful on pregnant women; denim dresses, denim jackets, even jeans. there are lots of denim trousers on Asos.com that you can buy.

 Try not to go Overboard

Don't overdo things, try not to stress yourself too much. it tells on your body and the baby. Stay away from tight clothing that won't let your body breathe.
  

Enjoy your Baby Bump. I would love to hear from you, do leave your comments in the comments section.
