Kumaen ng kumaen pero pakonti konti 🥰👍🏻

The myth “Eat twice as much during pregnancy” comes from the outdated idea that a pregnant woman is “eating for two.” While nutritional needs do increase during pregnancy, calorie needs only rise slightly — not double.

In the first trimester, most women don’t need extra calories at all. In the second trimester, about 300–350 extra calories a day is typical, and in the third trimester about 450 extra calories.

Overeating can lead to excessive weight gain, gestational diabetes, and high blood pressure, so the focus should be on nutrient-dense foods — lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy, nuts, and seeds — rather than large portions or processed snacks.

“Eating for two” really means supplying enough nutrients for both you and your baby, not eating twice as much food.

Kargahin ang baby hangang mangalay ang mga braso at likod 🥰🩷

Babies thrive on love, trust, and security. Cuddle them as much as you want—it’s building a strong bond. 💕
