Video: About Pregnancy

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the Natural Pregnancy RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This is a great video about pregnancy for first time moms (or any parent for that matter). It answers many pregnancy questions about pregnancy nutrition, pregnancy weight gain and exercise during pregnancy.

There are a couple of points in the video that I do not agree with. I would never ingest Nutrasweet, Splenda or any other artificial sweetener while pregnant or otherwise. It is a man made, chemical that your body responds to as such. Don’t touch it while pregnant.

In addition, it is not necessary to consume cow milk to build a healthy baby. In fact, many believe that pasteurized milk is a very unnatural, harmful product to put in your body, which explains why so many people are intolerant to it. If you still feel compelled to drink milk, at a minimum only consume organic animal products while pregnant. An even better option would be to find a local, raw, organic cow or goat milk source. If you cannot find a local source for raw milk, you can purchase online from Organic Pastures. Learn more about raw milk. Sick milk comes from sick, commercially raised cows and needs to be pasteurized. Healthy milk comes from healthy, grass fed cows. Seek it out.

Lastly, be very careful eating any amount of canned tuna during pregnancy. Mercury is a neurotoxin and can cause irreversible damage to your fetus. Is that tuna sandwich really worth the risk of autism? Either get fish that is guaranteed mercury free such as Wild Alaskan Salmon or get your Omega 3 from Flaxseeds and walnuts.
