(Free-Press-Release.com) August 31, 2010 -- ChemistDirect.co.uk is hoping to encourage pregnant women to live a healthier lifestyle with a range of products designed to provide the essential micronutrients needs by both mother and baby during pregnancy.

The UK Health watchdog NICE have released new guidelines for pregnant women as obesity levels among pregnant women have reached “epidemic” levels. Their advice is aimed to dispel the common misconception that women need to ‘eat for two’ once they have conceived. In a nutshell, it warned that if you are pregnant and obese you could potential pose a risk to the health of your unborn child.

The guidelines come as a new study conducted by researchers at Oxford University and the US National Institutes of Health found that high stress levels can seriously reduce a woman’s chance of falling pregnant. Women with higher level of a stress hormone called alpha-amylase have a 12 percent lower chance of becoming pregnant according to the findings

Living a healthy lifestyle is therefore very important to a healthy pregnancy and baby. Women are encouraged to eat normally and partake in moderate regular exercise including walking and swimming. Rigorous exercise around 20 weeks into pregnancy is discouraged however, while running should be avoided at all times because it can cause damage to the ankles and other parts of the anatomy.

In addition to a healthy lifestyle and diet, there are also a range of supplements which can help you during pregnancy.
