Nutritional Recommendations
• 8 – 10 glasses of water/ day—This is about 1 glass per hour while awake. Important because
of increased risk for urinary tract infections, and kidney stones. Also, being dehydrated may
increase your risk to have preterm contractions.

forms of exercise.

• Prenatal Vitamins: We would recommend that you begin taking a prenatal vitamin. Over the
counter prenatal vitamins are fine to take (Costco brand, Fred Meyer brand, etc.). We do not
recommend vitamins with herbs. If you wish to get a prescription for vitamins that can be
done at you initial visit with the doctor. If you are having trouble with nausea and vomiting it
would be okay to hold the vitamins until your visit.

early part of the pregnancy you will make up the difference in the 2

continuous and you are unable to hold down liquids, call us.
