Pregnancy Info HOME

You say you normally eat right and take vitamins, but 'not so much now since I am trying to starve myself because the abby can get what it wants from you'?

I cannot even begin to tell you how *wrong* that statement is! Babies in utero do NOT live off the maternal fat storages. Nor do they extract vitamins from the mother. Everything the baby needs and uses comes from what you eat. You must never ever ever starve yourself while pregnant. While your body can live off fat storages you have (if it needs to.. but starvation is a horrible way to lose weight..)... you baby will not. If you go a day without eating while pregnant, your baby does as well.

No amount of weight or fat is worth risking the life of your child.
