Re: Pregnancy and Your Diet
muniya yaar…u know of my experience with that doctor, should have told her to look for a better doctor who is a bit kinder. Anyways, yeah she provided me with papers, like a whole food chart/pyramid, with stuff from each food group & stuff that should be eaten. She should insist on asking Dr. for guidance. And dont listen to her when she says eat whatever u want, eat mihtai!!!..hehe You have to stay on top of her, and insist when you don’t get your way. Anyways she really should not be so focused on her figure right now, key is being healthy for the baby…like someone said, calcium is crucial to development of the baby’s bone…otherwise it will be extracted from her bones…and she will be prone to osteoporosis later in life i think..not sure.
Anyways tell her to check out www.babycenter.com & make an account. It is a wonderful site & really helped me throughout pregnancy, they send you a weekly update e-mail that approximates where you are in pregnancy, symptoms you may be feeling…what’s normal, not normal, things to expect, how to manage pregnancy…etc…tons of info.
Unless that person lives in JC and has no other options, she may try that Dr Irani I hear good things about. Even Dr. Khalak I think is decent from what I hear.
