Some household products contain very strong chemicals and although they have not been proven to be harmful to your child they are best avoided during pregnancy. Avoid anything with strong fumes such as oven cleaner and let someone else do any painting as some paints include lead and mercury. Also avoid insecticides or choose environmentally friendly products instead.

• Keep healthy foods on hand. A fruit bowl filled with apples, bananas, peaches, oranges, and grapes makes it easy to grab a healthy snack.
• If you have heartburn during your pregnancy, eat small meals more often, eat slowly, avoid spicy and fatty foods (such as chilles or fried chicken), drink beverages between meals instead of with meals, and do not lie down right after eating.
