Human pregnancies occurred during the 40 weeks between the last menstrual period and birth (38 weeks from conception). The medical term for a pregnant woman was gravida, while people in it is called an embryo (early weeks) and then fetus (until birth).

By learning about pregnancy and about the nutrients needed, the expectant mother can learn what it takes to support health during pregnancy. And everything is done should be biased to assure you that all actions taken are for the sake of your health and your baby.
Good nutrition helps women prepare the body to become a mother because of the complex processes that occur during pregnancy require a lot of supply of protein, vitamins and minerals for mother and baby.

But if the savings lower nutrition during pregnancy, the pregnant mother has a big enough risk that accompany pregnancy, such as amnesia and difficulties of pregnancy.
When pregnant you need the extra nutrients and even have to raise twice the normal requirement, especially for Vitamin C and Calcium. Although it's good to listen to the old advice that says that eating for two need not be applied in the real sense. Remember, the fetus is not as big as adults and have distinctly different needs. Pregnant women also do not need to raise the protein source, all in accordance with the principles of eating healthy foods, sepetri meat, fish or poultry, daily products, rice-berasan, beans. Also important is to increase the number of fibers during pregnancy. Pregnant women often suffer from difficulty in bowel movements and hemorrhoid (haemorrhoid).
