Although pregnancy is a normal condition which most women experience, it important to understand that having adequate diet is very important in order to prevent growth retardation of the developing baby. Having a good nutrition means reducing the risk of small babies, support for the nervous system. While genetics is an important determinant of birth defects, ensuring a good nutrition would likely reduce the risk of post-natal problems. One of the most important components of good maternal nutrition is the intake of dark green leafy vegetables which supplies most of the many vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A and C, calcium, iron as well as folic acid. Folic acid prevents nerve anomalies especially the spinal cord. Take at least 3 servings per day.
