HealthEffects of Mercury on Your Unborn ChildUnborn babies are at increased risk from mercury. The mercury in fish can lead to raised mercury levels in the mother. This mercury can be passed on through the placenta to her developing baby. Morning SicknessAround half to two thirds of all pregnant women will experience morning sickness to some degree, particularly in the first trimester. Folate During PregnancyIt is especially important to get adequate folate for one month prior to pregnancy and for the first three months of pregnancy to help prevent neural tube defects. Nutrition During PregnancyIt is important to choose a wide variety of foods to ensure the nutritional needs of both mother and baby are met. ExercisesStrengthening your pelvic floor muscles may help protect your perineum, the muscular area between the anus and vagina, from tearing during childbirth.

While some medical conditions make such abstinence necessary, sex doesn’t compromise a baby in a healthy pregnancy. Page 2 of 2 |
