Baby On The Way? Read Up On These Helpful Tips

By Mommy's Joy

Learning that you’re pregnant is both an amazing and an overwhelming experience. You probably have a myriad of questions in mind but don’t know where to find the answers. Examples are when is the right time to see the doctor for the first time, when is a good time to spread the good news to everyone, and what changes will your body go through. This article has some of the basic information that you should know.

TIP! Monitor your weight gain during your pregnancy. Gaining too many pregnancy pounds can pose health risks down the road, and they can be tough to shed after the baby is born.

If you eat a healthy diet for the most part, then those once in a while cravings are fine. A craving is usually your body telling you that you need something. When you are eating for two your body uses up energy and nutrients so much faster than normal so enjoy satisfying those cravings!

Always make sure to keep your appointments with your physician. This will help you to stay on top of your pregnancy and any developing issues. Appointments are always scheduled at deliberate points in time, as a way for your doctor to keep track of your progress. If you want to be healthy and have a healthy baby, be on time.

TIP! If you suffer from a queasy stomach during the early stages of pregnancy, try eating more smaller meals. When your tummy is full, it should feel more comfortable.

Taking a prenatal vitamin prior to pregnancy is a smart and safe idea. In the first three months of your pregnancy, your baby starts to develop its neural cord; this begins the formation of the spinal cord and brain. Folic acid, iron and calcium are very important during this crucial development.

During your pregnancy, you should have an extra calorie intake of about 300 to 500. All the nutrients your baby needs come from you, so you have to make sure to eat enough for the both of you. Eat healthier foods, like fruits and vegetables.

TIP! While there are many nutrients you need to increase during pregnancy, you actually need to reduce vitamin A intake during this period. Some studies have shown that Vitamin A may cause damage to a developing embryo.

When you need to get gas for your car during your pregnancy, have your partner fill it up or ask for anyone with you to help out. Your baby can be harmed by gasoline fumes at gas stations. Do not take the risk of injuring your child; instead, ask for help.

Carefully go through your home and eliminate any chemicals that could cause harm to your unborn baby. Find natural alternatives to cleaning solutions that you use on a regular basis. After you have your baby, keep these agents outside of your home to make your environment safer for the child.

Congratulations on having a baby in your womb! Follow the advice of your doctor, accept the help of family and friends and you will have an enjoyable pregnancy.
