Nutrition in your last trimester

In your last trimester, you’re officially allowed an extra 200 calories a day to match your baby’s growth spurt. But try to resist eating too many cakes, sweets and fast-food snacks – two hundred calories is less than you think! It’s the equivalent of two slices of wholemeal toast and margarine or butter, a jacket potato with an ounce of cheese, or one slice of cheese on toast.

Heartburn


As your pregnancy progresses, heartburn might become all too common. It’s caused by both hormonal and physical changes in your body. Though you may not be able to get rid of it completely, you can take some steps to minimise it. If you’re suffering, try cutting out rich or spicy dishes, chocolate, citrus fruits, alcohol and coffee. Eat small, frequent meals, take small mouthfuls and chew your food well.
