Memo
To: Six month pregnant mother to be
From: Developmental Psychologists
Subject: Prenatal Diet and Activities For your personal benefit and the benefit of your child, you must take extra precautions when it comes to your personal health, and the growth of your developing child. Diet and exercise are crucial to a healthy start to your new lives together. Pregnancy is a life altering experience for you. You will may experience physical, mental, and hormonal changes during your journey into motherhood. I have assembled a nutrition and physical activity plan for you to follow to assist you in a positive way to help ensure the healthy development of your child and a better wellbeing for the both of you.
Nutrition is very important in your child’s development, so during the remainder of your pregnancy, it is recommended that you try to be sure to eat a minimum of five small meals per day. You should consider filling your diet with foods that are full of vitamins and minerals, along with the appropriate amount of iron, protein, saturated fat, and carbohydrates. Also recommended, stay well hydrated. Try to avoid caffeinated drinks, and stay clear of alcoholic beverages. Proper Nutrition is very important to the development of your child. Please remember to take any pre-natal vitamins as directed by your obstetrician and follow any dietary guidelines that they may provide you with.
Regular exercise is also extremely important to you and your developing child. Try to establish a regular list of physical activity that focuses on the parts of your body that are directly affected by your developing child. Keep in mind as your child develops, your posture will change. You will want to focus your physical activity on areas of your body that will strengthen your abdominal area, your energy, endurance, and the organs in your pelvic region. Breathing
