WHAT TO EAT AND NOT TO EAT DURiNG PREGNANCiES.

While a person is pregnant, it is very important to make sure they do not eat something that is harmful for their baby not only for the baby's protection, but also for the mother's health. Babies get their food from what their mother eats and it is very important that the mother eats a healthy diet. Most women do not like the amount of weight that is needed to be gained in order to have a healthy baby, but with the proper dieting, the weight will not be too bad and it will be easy to lose. During pregnancies, it is important to avoid eating raw meats like seafood including sushi, deli meats including hot dogs, refrigerated smoked sea foods, raw eggs, fish high in mercury, soft cheese, refrigerated meat spreads, liver, unpasteurized milk and juices, and of course alcohol. All of them may contain some type of bacteria, poison, or may be contaminated with something harmful to a baby. Caffeine is also not good because it increases the risk of miscarriages within the first trimester. A person who consumes 200 milligrams or more of caffeine each day which is about 2 or more cups of coffee or 5 12-oz cans of soda, is at risk of having a miscarriage. What is good to eat is a lot of fatty foods because it helps the baby develop its brain. Trans fat are not fats that should be consumed while pregnant. It is in certain oils that are made for some fast food restaurants so checking the labels on food is very important. Obviously, fruits and vegetables are a very important source for a babies nutrition.

VOLUNTEER PRODUCTiON.

So far, I've gotten most of the things I had to get done to begin volunteering at Virtua Hospital. I was required to get a PPD test, have papers filled out by both my guidance and doctor, parent permission slip form, and fill out the application. The last and final thing that I have to do is get a photo ID. I have to go get that done at one of the Virtua career centers. Hopefully, I can get that done some time this week. I have off of work today so I was hoping I could go today, but when I looked at the paper I was given to schedule the photo, I read that they do not take photos on Mondays. I guess I'm going to have to try to either go tomorrow before I go to work or I can go either Wednesday or Thursday because I have off both days because I want to see the play (which I'm very excited for). I had no idea that I was going to have to get all of these things done. I feel like I'm never going to be able to start. When I learned about the tuberculosis test, I began to wonder why I didn't have to get one where I worked at. I work in a grocery store surrounded by food and loads of different people. Germs are spread everywhere, TB is spread from inhaling mucus and can be passed on by breathing in the air from a person who is infected with it. I think ther tuberculosis is a very serious disease and needs to be taken seriously not only to protect the people who have it, but the people that are around them on a daily basis.
