Pregnancy and diet

Is your diet prior to being pregnant important?

Well researchers and health experts say that it is. As the diet which you were taking before you were pregnant, determines your usual diet plan. Depending on that, the health care professional can assess and recommend to you what is missing in your diet and what needs to be changed.

Did you ever stop to consider what you are eating, when you want to get pregnant? Or when you misses your periods, you just go to the pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test kit and wait for it to show to bars?

Well, if you are thinking to do the above, you seriously need to consider your day to day diet plan when you plan for a child. However, Eighty-five million pregnancies, representing 40% of all pregnancies, were unintended in 2012. Of these 38% resulted in an unplanned birth1. So there is a high chance that your pregnancy falls in to this 40%.

Nevertheless, a good diet plan and a healthy life style won't do harm right? whether you have planned for a baby or not!

So lets fill the questionnaire below and see how good is your pre-pregnancy diet.
