Make sure your diet includes protein with every meal. Even vegans need protein especially in pregnancy. Try yogurt for breakfast, fish for supper. Legumes are also a good source. This is one of the rules for Happy meals. A lack of protein in your diet can contribute to Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. http://www.gentlebirth.org/archives/pih.html#Protein |
