The Effect of Caffeine on Pregnancy
It’s important to monitor your diet closely when you are pregnant. The old cliché is that you’re eating for two, and that cliché is right. One such substance that you want to keep tabs on is caffeine. Caffeine can have potentially harmful effects on your developing child. The team at our center for IVF in New Jersey would like to take a brief moment right now to talk about caffeine and what you need to know about it when you are pregnant.
Second Trimester of Pregnancy – What to Expect
We previously discussed what happens during the first trimester of a pregnancy, so now it may be a good idea to continue on with this topic and discuss what happens during the second trimester of pregnancy. There are plenty of matters you must be wondering about, which is why we at our center for IVF New Jersey suggest you speak with a member of our team or your health care provider for more details on this part of your pregnancy. That said, let’s take a brief look at what to expect.
First Trimester of Pregnancy – What to Expect
A woman’s body will go through a lot of changes during the course of pregnancy. Some of these changes are visible or can be felt, while other changes are invisible. We at our center for IVF in New Jersey understand all of the questions and concerns that women face during the course of pregnancy, so here we want to go over some of the basic concerns that you may have during the first trimester of pregnancy. (And don’t worry, we’ll go over the second and third trimesters in later posts.)
How Many Extra Calories Should You Consume When Pregnant
There’s that old cliché out there that being pregnant means that you’re eating for two. That’s definitely true, since the mother’s diet is going to affect the health, well-being, and weight of the unborn child. So since you’re eating for two, you may wonder just how much extra you need to be eating for that second person inside of you. That’s a question we field a lot at our New Jersey in vitro fertilization (IVF) center. While the answer will vary depending on your own dietary needs and your weight, we’ll give some general advice that you should consider.
