  • No Room to Swallow

    QUESTION

    Hi,
    I am pregnant; in my 27th week. I am always feeling that something is stuck into my throat and when I eat I can't swallow my food easily because I am always feeling this way.

    Is it normal? Is it a reflux problem and if so what shall I do to avoid it?

    Thanks,
    Dalia

  • Information Overload

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    Hi! I have looked through the multitude of questions, but have found none quite like my own. I have recently found out that I am 9 weeks pregnant. I asked my doctor about diet and exercise (I am in good shape and exercise a lot) to which his response was to change nothing.

    I am not the healthiest eater but I'm thin. I go to websites and friends and all I hear are "the first trimester is the most critical, make sure you're..." from eating more frequent healthy snacks, to slowing my exercise, to no heavy lifting. I just don't know where to begin.

  • Do I Require More Calcium When Pregnant with Twins?

    QUESTION

    Dear Nutritionist,
    Hi I was just wondering if I should be taking more calcium than I am while pregnant with twins?

    I take 120mg in my blackmores pregnancy tablets and,
    600mg worth of caltrate.

    I don't really have much milk, but I do eat a fair amount of cheese.

    What level do I need to reach when pregnant with twins and should I take more calcium supplements to get there as I do not really like dairy products or is there something else I can eat?
