nutritional needs for pregnant teens: don't be unhealthy

1. Balanced Diet:

   • Eating a variety of healthy foods is crucial. Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats.
   • Adequate hydration is essential for both you and your developing baby.

2. Caloric Intake:

   • Doctors generally recommend adding about 300 extra calories per day to your diet during pregnancy.
   • These additional calories provide nourishment for the growing fetus.
