- If there is a baby somewhere in your family's future, here is a booklet
- that should be there too. "Building a Baby" is the latest in the Metropolitan
- Life series of Stay Well brochures, and is a well prepared and concise guide
- to prenatal health. The brochure explains the reasons for routine tests, such
- as blood and urinalysis, and describes several other specialized tests,
- including ultrasound and amniocentesis. There is good advice on meals,
- nutrition, weight gain and exercise.
- "Building a Baby" is emphatic on the subject of weight gain, and provides
- information for both the overweight and underweight woman, and states,
- "Pregnancy is not the time to diet!" weight gained during pregnancy is lost
- rapidly in the weeks following birth, and can be aided by proper diet,
- exercise and nursing the baby.
- There is a listing of some of the more common discomforts of pregnancy
- along with a inventory of the more serious symptoms that require the immediate
- attention of a doctor.
- You may obtain your free copy by sending your request with a stamped,
- self addressed 8 1/2" x 11" envelope to "Building a Baby", Health and Safety
- Education, Area 16-UV, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, One Madison
- Avenue, New York, NY 10010.
