Tips, Tricks, And Techniques For An Easy Pregnancy

By Mommy's Joy

A new pregnancy can be such a joyous time, but it is also a time when your other children might feel confused or left out. Make sure that you involve your other children as much as possible. This article will give you some helpful tips so your little ones understand your pregnancy better.

To avoid nighttime heartburn while pregnant, eat your last meal at least two hours before you go to bed. Reclining just after eating will lead to increased acid reflux and heartburn. Also, use extra pillows to elevate your head and upper back above the level of your abdomen to reduce symptoms.

Start tracking your monthly menstrual cycle. This way you will know when you ovulate. This can help you find when the best time is to try to conceive a baby. This will also help when you become pregnant because you will be better able to determine a due date for your baby.

Being sleepy in the first trimester is very normal. Your energy level will probably plummet as that baby is growing in leaps and bounds. Make sure that you get lots of extra rest. Go to bed early and if you can change your schedule, wake up later. Don’t be afraid to take a nap in the middle of the day either if you need it.

Consider hiring a doula. This is a birth coach who can guide you through the process of pregnancy. They can give you pregnancy tips, strength, and support. They make you feel relieved since a professional is in the same room as you, and they can help a lot.

Don’t hesitate to ask someone for help with picking up heavy items if you’re pregnant. Lifting heavy things can cause miscarriages or stress on your baby, not to mention that it can cause back strains. Even if the object does not seem too heavy, have others lift it for you.

Keep yourself well hydrated. Your body takes on pounds of extra weight in the form of fluids and blood. You need to give your body what it needs to produce these things. What your body needs is water. Keep a water bottle with you everywhere you go and just refill it during the day.

Learn relaxation techniques and make sure to practice them at least once a day. Having some time to relax with breathing and calming exercises will help you relieve the stress that comes from pregnancy. Make sure you make time for yourself to keep you a happy mom to be.

A tip quite often given to pregnant women is to avoid heavy lifting. This is a tip that ought to be taken quite seriously. Anything can happen to the baby in the womb, and it is important not to do anything that might put the mother, or the child, in a dangerous situation.

Take some precautions when traveling by plane. The second trimester is often noted as the best time to fly, because you are not experiencing morning sickness as often, and there is less risk of miscarriage. Always speak to your doctor first and make sure to drink a lot of water on the plane to stay hydrated. Get up and walk frequently to help avoid blood clots.

As stated at the beginning of the article, although a new pregnancy is a time to celebrate, it can leave your other children feeling confused. Sometimes children are not sure “where they will stand” once the new baby comes. This article has hopefully given you some great ideas for making the transition of the new baby as easy as possible on your other children.
