You have power over how your pregnancy goes. Remember, if you take care of yourself, your chances of a healthy pregnancy will drastically increase! Use what you've learned to feel vibrantly healthy during your pregnancy.
Having a baby? Do you plan on breastfeeding? Do you want to breastfeed in public, or would you rather remain discreet. Nursing clothing is a great choice to accomplish this. Many companies specialize in outfits that allow you to breastfeed discreetly. They cover you as you feed your child. You might practice breastfeeding before a mirror to get the hang of doing it discreetly.
It is very important to exercise lightly and regularly while pregnant. There are many benefits to exercising, including the reduced risk of miscarriage, less time in labor, and the ability to lose weight after the baby is born.
Ask your doctor about your condition before you travel, while you're pregnant. Be sure to bring your prenatal medical records along, in the event of a problem or accident.
If you need help to lift things when pregnant, don't be afraid to ask someone for assistance. Lifting a heavy item can cause you to have a miscarriage, so asking for help could literally mean the difference between life and death! Try to have someone lift those heavy objects, even if you don't see the danger.
During your pregnancy, you should have an extra calorie intake of about 300 to 500. Keep in mind that your baby is impacted by everything you eat. Try eating healthy foods like fresh produce and lots of lean protein.
Make sure you've gotten rid of any harmful chemicals that don't need to be around during your pregnancy. Household items like cleaning solutions can have adverse effects on your pregnancy, so look for natural choices instead. Keeping them out of your home will make for a much safer environment for your baby.
If you come down with a cold or other illness, use non-medical remedies. Most OTC drugs contain harmful medicines that your unborn child can not handle. You can find many natural solutions online that can relieve everything from nausea and heartburn to constipation. Your doctor may also have some advice to give you as well.
If you want to give birth but you are are overdue, you can try walking. This gentle exercise can nudge the baby into the birthing position. Request that your partner come with you. Don't do contact exercise, as that could be dangerous.
Pre-plan what will happen at your birth. Be sure to include your expectations of others while you are in labor. Have your bag ready well before the big day and include your birth plan as well as any paperwork you need. Don't forget the camera and an outfit for your baby's trip home.
