Poor pregnancy diet will affect the baby and that is a
clear fact. Inadequate nutrition will show all thru your pregnancy in form of
acute morning sickness, heart burn, constipation, and lethargy and body
discomfort. Even after child birth it will take longer for you to heal and
while breast feeding you will not produce enough milk.
It’s your choice now, if you do want to go thru the above
mentioned discomfort all you need to do is eat good nutritional food.
Instead of gabbing cookies or fries or chips when
