Tips For A Healthy Pregnancy
Giving birth will no doubt be one of the most magical moments of
your life and to ensure that your child is strong and happy, it
is important you do all you can to have a healthy pregnancy. To
help you and your baby on your way, this article has compiled a
number of tips that are guaranteed to make those nine pregnancy
months the best they can be!
The first thing you must do when you find you are pregnant is to
visit an obstetrician/gynecologist (OBGYN). They will give you
an ultrasound to see how far along you are and whether your
pregnancy appears to be normal. This stage is crucial and it is
important not to leave this too late.
After this, you must begin to change your lifestyle. Remember,
you are no longer eating and exercising for yourself but for
two! Firstly, if you are a smoker or a drinker, you must quit.
Cigarette smoke can lead to low birth weight in babies as well
as miscarriages and tubal pregnancies so try to avoid second
hand smoke as it is not conducive to a healthy pregnancy. The
same can be said for alcohol and other toxic chemicals and
substances such as paint fumes. These items are both damaging to
the mother and to the pregnancy.
Another part of changing your lifestyle is your diet during
pregnancy. Make sure to drink plenty of water - about 6 to 8
glasses a day. It is not healthy to be overweight or underweight
during a pregnancy but do remember that you shouldn't diet
during pregnancy. Pregnancy is not a time to be worrying about
your weight! Don't skip meals as you and your baby need as
much
nutrition and calories as possible, although not the fattening
kind so make sure you get a balance. Junk food is great to
satisfy those crazy pregnancy cravings but try not to go
overboard!
If you are worried about weight gain during pregnancy, a great
alternative to dieting is light exercise. You may not have loved
it before your pregnancy, but learn to love it now as it will
definitely pay off in the long run by keeping your baby healthy
and your body fit. Light exercises will not harm your pregnancy
so try swimming, yoga and walking.
An additional healthy pregnancy tip that those with busy
schedules tend to forget is the importance of sleep. Make sure
to get plenty of rest so that you and your baby can recuperate
and to ensure that your immune system is as strong as possible.
It is advised that you rest on your side to reduce swelling and
generate the best circulation to your baby.
To recap: avoid damaging substances such as nicotine and
alcohol, don't diet during pregnancy, drink plenty of water,
practice as much exercise as safely possible, and get plenty of
sleep! Following these pregnancy tips will make certain that you
have a healthy pregnancy and have a happy and fit child.
