pregant lady eating meal 212x300 What Should I Eat as a 25 Weeks Pregnant Mother?Nutrition is vital to 25 weeks pregnant mothers as your baby is feeding from your umbilical cord as you consume food for yourself. Never skip a meal or attempt to go on a diet! If you feel cautious about your weight gained and worry about looking fat after being pregnant, fear not, the excess fats and weight can be easily shred off after you give birth to your baby. It is actually a myth that pregnant mothers are supposed to consume much more meals than a non-pregnant lady. What is true is that a pregnant mother should have all the necessary nutrition and a well-balanced diet. A pregnant woman gobbling 20 pounds of food a week might not get the same vitamins and nutrition from a woman who eats 10 pounds of food a week. The important thing is to eat right, not eat more!

If you notice you crave for more food, you are not alone! Almost all 25 weeks pregnant mothers will experience the hunger pangs more often than before. To curb your hunger pangs, snack on fruits like a crunchy apple, orange, banana or other favorite fruits. Yogurts are a very good fast snack food too, they provide necessary calcium, protein, essential vitamins and contains probiotics that aid stomach digestion which will help relieve constipation which is common for 25 weeks pregnant mothers. Salad meals are also highly suggested as it is the all-in-one nutrition fulfilling meal. You can add in tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, cucumbers to your choice of salad mix.

25 Weeks Pregnant – Introduction

by Priscilla on April 26, 2011

25 1 246x300 25 Weeks Pregnant – IntroductionAt 25 weeks pregnant, your belly will be like the size of volleyball. Your baby will have grown so much bigger since the last month, weighting around 1 pound! You will notice your baby is starting to roam and wander around a lot in your uterus. This is because your baby has developed sufficient dexterity in his hands and legs. Thus, the position of your baby is not fixed; he/she can still be lying head up or head down, feet in a forward or backward position. You will probably find many more fetal movements when you are at rest- it’s normal as it would mean your baby is healthy and active! If your partner is attentive enough to the position of your baby, he can even hear your baby’s heartbeat! Your baby‘s primitive memories will already be building up now. Remember to book for the ultrasound appointment with your doctor and go with your partner or family. Looking at your baby’s movement from the ultrasound images can be assuring that your baby is healthy and growing strong. Having pictures of your 25 week pregnancy baby can be a memorable addition to your family album too. If you are bored at home, you can think up your baby’s name (if you haven’t!) together with your partner and family.
