			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Weight in Pregnancy" src="http://www.thepregnancyzone.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/pregnancy-weight-gain.jpg" style="padding-right:5px" alt="Weight in Pregnancy" width="204" height="304" />Weight gain during pregnancy has to be from 0.9 to 1.4 kg per month of pregnancy, or from 11 to 13.5 kg in a woman of average height. A weight gain between 13.5 and 15.8 kg fat is excessive and represents both the fetus and the mother.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that it is more difficult to control <strong>weight gain</strong> in later stages of pregnancy, so it is imperative not to increase the bulk of the total weight during the first months, however, poor weight gain is a sign negative, particularly if less than 4.5 kg.</p>
<p>No dieting is never recommended during pregnancy, even in very obese patients, it is essential that there be some increase in weight for good fetal development, and the system reduces the supply of nutrients to the fetus.</p>
<p>All the extra weight will be lost, at the latest, during the year following the birth, with a healthy diet and regular activity. Sometimes the simple fluid retention causing weight gain, who will miss a week after giving birth.</p>
<p><span id="more-45"></span><strong>DIET</strong></p>
<p>A daily diet of women should be applied and about 250 kcal per day to provide adequate <strong>fetal nutrition</strong>.</p>
<p>Most of these calories should consist of protein, but the diet must be well balanced, including fruit and vegetables of the season. It also should be taken free of sugar and cereals high in fiber. The salt (especially iodine) can be used in moderation, but avoid excessively salty foods. It should also limit foods with fats and sweets: pastries, chips, sodas, cookies and candy.</p>
<p><strong>Folic acid</strong> is a B vitamin found primarily in leafy green vegetables, legumes, asparagus and liver. All pregnant women should consume 0.4 milligrams of folic acid per day, especially in the early weeks. This helps protect the baby in training against certain birth defects of the spine or brain, such as<strong> spina bifida</strong>.</p>
<p>Do not smoke, drink alcohol or take drugs not prescribed during the entire pregnancy.</p>
<p><strong>SUGGESTIONS OF DIET IN PREGNANCY</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Vitamins: Eat different kinds of foods every day. Since it is difficult to get the recommended amount of folic acid only through food, you may need to receive supplements (multivitamin), as determined by your doctor.</li>
<li> Sal: Your body needs a certain amount of salt when you are pregnant. The salt (especially<strong> iodine</strong>) can be used in moderation, but avoid excessively salty foods.</li>
<li> Meals: Eat three meals every day. If you have heartburn or stomach bothers you, do four to six meals with smaller amounts in the day.</li>
<li> Appetizers or snacks: Cheese, yoghurt, fruit and vegetables are <strong>healthy snacks</strong>. Avoid sweets, cakes, or sweetened beverages.</li>
<li> Water: When you are pregnant your body needs plenty of fluids. Drink six to eight glasses of fluid each day (water, fruit juices, and/or milk).</li>
<li> <strong>Caffeine</strong>: Caffeine is found in tea, coffee, soft drinks, and chocolate. Too much caffeine could be dangerous for your baby.</li>
