Here&#8217;s some highlights (and a bit of commentary):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Good diets probably substitute for prenatal vitamins. However, check with your gyno to determine if you personally have any nutritional deficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Probably do not need to eat any extra calories in the first trimester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Artificial sweeteners have never been shown to cause birth defects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. You would probably have to drink over 10 cups of coffee a day to (possibly) harm your baby. There are other reasons not to consume at that level however! So keep coffee intake modest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. There is no real evidence that sushi is harmful in pregnancy if consumed in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Do cook your meat, do wash your raw vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Avoid contact sports in pregnancy, but otherwise do exercise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. Hair dyes are presumed safe in pregnancy, there has never been a study to prove otherwise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you would like to scan over the basic pregnancy what to expect and advice for the questions you may<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[110],"class_list":["post-1646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-our-gyno-health","tag-pregnancy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.womenshealthpractice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.womenshealthpractice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.womenshealthpractice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.womenshealthpractice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.womenshealthpractice.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1646"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.womenshealthpractice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1646\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1650,"href":"https:\/\/blog.womenshealthpractice.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1646\/revisions\/1650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.womenshealthpractice.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.womenshealthpractice.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.womenshealthpractice.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
