What is the longest a woman has been pregnant?
It serves the function of important organs like the lungs, liver, kidneys, as well as other organs until your baby develops. It supplies oxygen and nutrients and clears out waste products like carbon dioxide from your little one’s blood. Apart from nutrients, it constantly looks for immune and oxygen molecules present in the blood, which flows through your uterus. These are shuttled across the amniotic sac and into your baby’s blood vessels via the umbilical cord that connects the placenta to your baby. Similarly, when your baby’s body accumulates toxic substances such as carbon dioxide, it will pass these back to your blood. The placenta is like a babysitter in your belly. One of its responsibilities is feeding your little one and this requires your help. Hence, what you eat during pregnancy is very important, so think twice before you take that bite. Put down that ‘pani puri’ and instead consume nutrient-rich dairy products, legumes, whole grains, sweet potatoes, walnuts, Greek yogurt, and dark green, leafy vegetables. Eating healthy is critical to your little one’s growth and development.
