Early pregnancy and Nutrition

Some women do not know that they are pregnant in early stages of pregnancy. Some women still get their menstrual period for the first three months. Usually since they get their period they pass off the thought of being pregnant because they was still getting their periods. There are other signs of pregnancy that wont be noticeable either  such as, Nausea, Tiredness and tenderness of the breasts. Also home pregnancy test can appear negative. It is very important to be healthy for before getting pregnant because the first three months of the child's development are crucial. When I found out that I was pregnant I had to get medical attention right away and started to take my prenatal vitamins. You can find more  information at Web Md.
