Experiencing a healthy pregnancy is no doubt a glorious experience (once the fog of morning sickness lifts!), but there may also be a lot of confusion with regard to the "dos, don'ts and how-tos" of maintaining a green, safe and healthy pregnancy -- especially when the world around us is becoming increasingly filled with disturbing news such as most canned food contains the harmful chemical BPA and that studies prove BPA can cross the placenta from mom to negatively impact her developing fetus. Add to that the knowledge that pesticides on produce and toxic cleaning products also adversely affect pregnant women and their precious unborn babes, and it may make you want to pack it all up and move to a remote farm to grow your own food. (At least, that's how I feel at 7 1/2 months pregnant). Even though we're surrounded and bombarded by shocking facts at every turn, there are definitive ways to make your pregnancy more healthy for you and your developing baby. Here are 7 tips for a green pregnancy.
