Let's debunk pregnancy myths:
- Eating for two: False. Only 300 extra calories/day are needed in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters.
- Weight gain and delivery: Healthy gain (13-18 kg underweight, 11-16 kg healthy weight, 7-11 kg for overweight, and 5-9 kg for obese individuals) reduces risks.
- Cravings ≠ nutritional needs: Hormonal changes cause cravings, not nutrient deficiency.
- Exercise is beneficial: Walking, gentle exercises, and safe gym workouts are recommended for a healthy pregnancy.
