You can apply for the program as soon as you are pregnant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your body goes through a lot of changes during pregnancy.  It\u2019s normal if you have a few cravings.&nbsp;If you aren&#8217;t sure you are on the right track, Texas WIC can help provide the right information to help make sure you have a healthy pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you might be tempted to feed all your cravings, you might have to keep some of them in check. If you are craving a huge green salad by all means go for it. If you want to take down an entire pint of ice cream in one sitting &#8211; every day &#8211; you might want to consider moderation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some women might think that you get \u201cpermission\u201d to gain a lot of weight once you are pregnant. But you might be surprised it\u2019s normal to gain about 25 to 35 pounds, depending on your pre-pregnancy weight. Sticking to a healthy routine will also make your delivery and post-delivery easier.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a healthy pregnancy,<a href=\"http:\/\/texaswic.org\"> Texas WIC<\/a> advises that women carrying multiple babies might gain more. If you are overweight you may need to gain less. Also, weight gain will happen slowly. During the first 3 months, women usually gain 1 to 5 pounds. In the last 6 months, it may be more like 1 pound per week. <a href=\"https:\/\/texaswic.org\/health-nutrition\/women\/where-does-pregnancy-weight-go\">Texas WIC experts<\/a> also\u00a0recommend that most women only need an additional 350 to 450 calories a day during the last 6 months.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>HEALTHY NUTRITION HABITS &amp; WIC&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While pregnant or breastfeeding, <a href=\"https:\/\/texaswic.org\/health-nutrition\/women\/pregnancy\">Texas WIC nutritionists<\/a> encourage mothers to eat foods with vitamin c (tomatoes, strawberries and oranges). They also recommend eating two foods with iron together like chicken and beans. Getting calcium from dairy and fiber from fruits and vegetables also helps you and your baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind you are now eating to fuel yourself and help grow your baby.&nbsp; You both need lots of nutrients to help keep you healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can get a wide array of nutrients by eating a variety of foods.\u00a0 It may also help to write down the foods you eat each day to help make sure you are getting a good mix. Make sure you are eating vegetables, fruit, dairy, protein and whole grains.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would like more tips for a healthy pregnancy, Texas WIC also offers the following <a href=\"https:\/\/texaswic.org\/online-classes\">free classes online, including<\/a> H<a href=\"https:\/\/classes.texaswic.org\/class\/d12ce22d-9c1d-4027-bcf8-d1ab7f472590\">ealthy Eating, Healthy Pregnancy and Nutrition<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The class offers guidance to mothers about eating healthy foods to help them and their baby, explains heartburn, nausea and constipation during pregnancy and also offers tips to help stay healthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HEALTH PREGNANCY WIC CLASSES<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To take the classes, visit the Texas WIC <a href=\"https:\/\/classes.texaswic.org\/class\/d12ce22d-9c1d-4027-bcf8-d1ab7f472590\">website<\/a>.
