Healthy recipes perfect for pregnancy

Pregnancy takes a toll on the body. Not only are you tired, but you are super nauseated, your feet hurt, your back aches, and man, are you hungry! When you're pregnant, the last thing you may feel like doing is cooking. Moreover, while your tummy could be audibly rumbling (and you know you need to eat food), the smell of certain ingredients may leave you feeling less than eager or excited.
What's a ravenous soon-to-be mama to do? You know, besides ordering takeout for the millionth day in a row. Time to motivate. No need to rely on pizza again; we've got you covered in the kitchen. We're sharing six healthy pregnancy recipes that will take 30 minutes or less to prepare. They're simple, they're healthy, and they'll keep you satisfied -- so you can get back to putting up those sore feet and resting your heavy eyes.
Why nutrition is so important

We all know that it's important to eat a healthy, balanced diet at all times, especially during pregnancy, but many people don't know why it's so important. Not only does eating healthy during pregnancy help your baby grow and develop in utero, but it also helps you have a healthy pregnancy and reduces the risks of such complications as gestational diabetes, preterm birth, obesity-related complications, and in some situations preeclampsia and high blood pressure. Eating healthy can be difficult for those who don't love to cook and are accustomed to ordering in or dining out, but we try to make it as easy and uncomplicated as possible with these recipe ideas.

Home birth: What you need to know about the benefits and risks
Here are some things to learn about before making this choice

All pregnant women have a picture in their head of their ideal birth. The type of pain relief or lack thereof, the music and ambiance, and the time leading up to the birth have all been thought through dozens of times by the mom. With more women wanting to have more control and power over their bodies, home births are on the rise as a favored labor option. While every pregnant person should check with their doctor to see if they are a great candidate for a home birth, here are the pros and cons to know before your due date.
Home birth benefits

People want a home birth for all of the benefits it offers the family. Here are perks that may attract you to this type of birth.
You will be in a comfortable surrounding
Being in your home or other safe space instead of the hospital is more relaxing for the mother. Even if you have visited the hospital a few times during the pregnancy — nothing beats being at home.
The mother will have more control
A mom's home is her castle, and she runs it well. A mother giving birth at home feels empowered to have more control over everything from the birthing position to sounds to using any aids like oils or candles to make it more comfortable.
There's room for a support system
Since COVID, the number of people allowed in the birthing room has been lowered, and in some cases, hasn't gone back up from just one additional person in the room. A home birth allows for as many (or as few) people as you want to be there for it.
Family can be included
Hospitals usually don't allow siblings in the birth space. We get it. A home birth lets siblings be a part of the process as much as the mother wants, which could be a special bonding time for the kids.
Recovery starts immediately and is usually easier
There's nothing that drives a woman who has just given birth to insanity than waiting for those discharge papers. With a home birth, you are already home and can immediately start healing.
