Weight Gain During Pregnancy Expected, Necessary
PITTSBURGH - The emphasis '
today is on the slim and trim
figure, something that puts even
more stress on the expectant
mother. Think about it! How many
times have you heard someone
greet a pregnant woman with a
hearty, “My aren’t you looking
fat?”

The response should be, “No,
I’m looking pregnant.” Indeed it is
clear that pregnancy is not a time
for dieting and weight loss. Weight
gain during pregnancy is expected
and necessary for a healthy mom
and baby.

received a blue ribbon.

A certain amount of the weight
gain helps meet the demands of the
developing infant including an
increarai blood supply. Some of
the weight helps keep the mothers’
nutrient stores at a level that will
support both pregnancy and
breastfeeding. The American
Academy of Pediatrics recom
mends a weight gain of at least 24
pounds with a range of about 24 to
28 pounds.
One of the important points to
consider is that weight gain should
be gradual with about a ten-pound
gain during the first half of
pregnancy. The early months are a
period of cell formation with each
phase being critical for a different
part of the developing human. Cell
expansion and growth escalates
during the last half of pregnancy,
something which dramatically
affects the need for energy and
nutrients. Weight gain of the
mother during the last three
months is generally about one
pound a week, much of which is
due to expanding i*o of the

developing baby.
The theme for eating should be
“eat smart.” Adequate calories
and a balance of nutrients to meet
the recommended daily
allowances are critical throughout
pregnancy. Of special concern are
some nutrients which are often low
in the diets of women, folic acid (a
B vitamin) and the minerals iron
and calcium.
Eating smart means including a
variety of foods from all of the
major food groups. Pregnant
women should include extra
amounts of dairy foods, at least
four daily servings. Yogurt, milk,
and cheese are examples. Such
foods provide extra protein, the
much needed calcium, Vitamin
B 12, Riboflavin and Vitamin D. No
other food group can supply
calcium in the quantity and quality
necessary to meet the needs of
pregnancy.
Meat and alternatives to meat
such as fish, chicken, dried beans,
eggs, and peanut butter should be
increased slightly to three servings
each day. In addition to protein,
such foods supply iron, folic acid,
magnesium, and zinc.
Vegetables and fruits should be

continued at the pre-pregnancy
level of at least four servings a
day. This is a food group which is
the major source of Vitamins C
and A. These foods also provide
Folic Acid, iron, water and a
variety of trace vitamins and
minerals.
Fiber, an important part of food
is found in both fruits and
vegetables and in the final food
group, Breads and Cereals. Rice,
cereal, pasta, bagels, tortillas, and
other breads are all examples. The
key is to include four servings each
day of whole grains or enriched
products since these are the
sources of the important nutrients
iron and the B vitamins, thiamin
and niacin.
If this sounds like a lot of food, it
isn’t! Good food habits are
necessary for healthy mothers and
babies. Although a pregnant
women isn’t eating for two, she
does need about 300 extra calories
each day. Women who limit weight
gain or who choose foods without
concern for nutrient balance raise
the risk of delivering a low birth
weight baby. Such infants start life
trying to catch up on growth and
brain development.
All set for sun and fun on
your vacation? You can’t
take your garden with you,
so take care of it before you
go. A few minutes in the
garden before vacation can
save hours afterward. It is
obviously much easier to
remove small weeds now
than larger, well
established ones later,
reveals Arnold G. Lueck,
Extension Horticultural
Agent.

Apply a good mulching
material after weeding. A
layer of mulch two inches
deep will prevent most
weed growth, keep the soil
cooler and conserve water.
Common mulching
materials include old dry
grass clippings, pine bark,
peat moss, licorice root, old
hay and straw.
While you’re gone, your
weed-free garden will look
better to your neighbors
than one which has become
overgrown with weeds. If
the weather turns dry in
your absence, a weed-free
garden will not lose as
much water. Also, rapidly
developing weeds will not
be able to shade garden
plants.
