changes occur during pregnancy while developing at 2 weeks

Pregnancy Fitness:
Probably at the top of the list would be the value of
pregnancy fitness. While fitness and physical exercise are
important for everyone, it is especially important for
expecting mothers.
Higher levels of physical fitness will improve uteral
conditions for your baby, as well as maximize the chances of
a successful birth. In addition, regular exercise helps
reduce the discomfort and pain associated with the nine
month ordeal. The problem of course is that pregnancy
reduces some mobility.
Here are some suggestions about pregnancy fitness. First,
try swimming. It reduces the stress on the
joints, such as knees and back, as well as reduce the weight
load, which the water will help carry.
Pilates and yoga are also good alternatives, and
many gyms and fitness centers offer classes especially for
pregnant women. Also, other types of fun exercise
classes will help your mood, your baby's health,
your delivery, and your postpartum recovery.
Pregnancy Diets:
Many people use the saying "eating for two" about pregnancy
diets. However, you not truly eating for two. In fact, the
caloric needs for your baby are surprisingly low. Most
mothers overeat resulting in excessive weight gain. Your
baby only needs roughly an additional 300 calories a day,
which works out to only one or two additional snacks each
day. The importance is in quality, not quantity. Look for a
diet high in fiber and protein and
low in empty calories and fat. Fresh fruit
in the morning and nuts or cheese and crackers throughout
the day is a great way to add nutrients and calories to your
diet without overdoing it.

pregnant. There are countless books, tapes and web sites

pregnancy will always be a grueling challenge, physically,
mentally and emotionally. But knowing as much as you can
about pregnancy will ensure that you have a far more
comfortable and healthy pregnancy and a far more healthy
baby.
