5 Ways to Avoid Preeclampsia in Pregnancy (and an Induction because of it)

Because I have given birth twice, I can attest to eating well not just during pregnancy

, but during child bearing years, period. I attribute my eight and nine pound babies (and my healthy forty pound weight gain on my 5'3" frame) not to luck but to what I ate and the kind of self-care I took while pregnant. This diet is also extremely important postpartum as you need the same support while breastfeeding your baby. Breastfeeding is not the time to skimp out on calories even though we need to realize that we're losing 300-500 calories per day from the task of breastfeeding, we still need to support our nutrition as if we are still pregnant. I can attest to the importance of good nutrition and high fats as in my ninth postpartum month with my second, the baby began waking at night and staying up all night. I'm not a good napper, so I didn't catch up on sleep in the afternoon. This went on for four months and I always thought the next day would be the day she'd sleep, right? No. Four months later I really felt like something was awry, and as it turned out, I had lost fourteen pounds of muscle weight. I was shocked to say the least, and it was a great lesson in practicing what I preach and not letting my own fatigue in my own situation get the best of me.
