How: Switch to 1% or nonfat milk, and nonfat versions of other dairy products like yogurt and ice cream. Step down more slowly to 2% milk, then 1% en route to nonfat, if possible. Harness the power of nuts (and seeds): Almonds, cashews, filberts, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, and pistachios pack plenty of beneficial nutrients, including vitamin E, folic acid, potassium, and fiber. Although many nuts are high in fat, the fat is mainly unsaturated – a healthy choice. How: First, put nuts on the grocery list.

The study found that even in that short time, the extra soda led their bodies to process calories differently, switching to 'an inefficient metabolism.

Metabolic and nutritional considerations: There is an increased need for maternal nutrition in multiple pregnancies. An expectant mother needs to gain more weight in a multiple pregnancy, especially if she begins the pregnancy underweight.

Activity precautions: Women with multiple pregnancies are usually advised to avoid strenuous activity and employment at some time between 20 and 24 weeks. Bed rest improves uterine blood flow and may increase birth weight up to 20%. Intercourse is generally discouraged when bed rest is recommended.
