Cooking Instructions

To make sure your baby is healthy and happy from the beginning, make sure you’re eating a good diet full of fruits, vegetables, and protein! Avoid anything processed and with additives.

On average, a pregnant mom gains 27lbs. You are eating for two, but remember, one of you is about the size of a peanut so only eat a bit more than usual! Gaining too much weight during pregnancy can cause problems for both baby and mom.

Not getting enough protein is a common mistake pregnant mothers make and can lead to complications such as preeclampsia. This can be easily avoided by making sure you have a bit of protein in every meal. Eggs are a great way to start the day!

And of course, don’t forget regular visits to your friendly neighborhood Chiropractor!
