It's good you know...
By the end of the first trimester of pregnancy, your placenta has developed and is providing your baby with oxygen, nutrients and waste disposal. The placenta also produces the hormones, which help maintain the pregnancy. If you have cravings for after-hours meals, you may want to eat crackers or drink fluids. However, you can reward yourself from time to time for sticking to your exercise routine or medical advice with some chocolate snacks.
