AnswerPregnant women face many health risks. They face depression, weight gain, heartburn and indigestion, yeast infections and constipation. http://www.thelizlibrary.org/liz/004.htm
AnswerIf you have medical insurance, your provider will be able to direct you to information on having a healthy pregnancy. If you do not have insurance, your local Health Agency will be able to provide this information free of charge.
AnswerYour doctor will give you information about eating the proper foods while pregnant. Babies get all their nutrition from the mother so you need to follow all the doctors orders.
QuestionI know that eating right during pregnancy is important to the child's health. Now that I'm bearing, I need to be concerned with this. If any, what food should I avoid during pregnancy?
AnswerThe foods you should avoid during pregnancy are raw meat, soft cheese, raw eggs, mercury, deli meats, and liver. These foods have risks such as salmonella which can be really life threatening for your baby.
AnswerThere are plenty of good websites out there, but some may be more informative. Here are the ones I found were the most informative : http://www.babycenter.ca/baby/health/

QuestionI am looking to start going to a family health center in order to get help managing this. What does the average family health center do in order to help with this?
AnswerThe average family health center will help with many aspects of health for free. This includes things like family planning, as well as exercising.
AnswerIt really depends on the center and the type of doctors that are in there. The most common doctors in a family health center are internal medicine doctors. Sometimes nutritionists and endocrinologists are staffed.
AnswerI found lots of advice and help on for young mothers at symptom/find.com under pregnancy tips.
This is a site that I have trusted for medical help every since I acquired an Internet connection ten years ago, and I have found it very trustworthy.
