EXPERT ADVICE

There are two things you should not do: one is to think you should eat for two, and the other is to go on a crash diet.

This advice comes from Antonette Grant, a mom and dietician from Rustenburg. “If you eat for two, you’ll pack on too much weight and struggle to lose it afterwards,” she warns. And another bit of handy advice: remember, the extra fat does not disappear the moment the baby arrives. So don’t pack your prepregnancy clothes in your hospital bag – your maternity wear will serve you for a good few weeks following baby’s birth.
