You Will Notice That Your Body Will Change While You Are Pregnant

By Mommy's Joy

But, with a lot of things to contemplate and understand about the pregnancy process, sometimes it can leave you feeling powerless! This information can help you become more informed about pregnancy so that you can be a bit more in charge.

Eat for one! Many people think that because they are pregnant, they can eat as much as they want. This is not true. If you want to be able to get your body back after you give birth, you need to make sure that you only raise your calories by a very little bit (you should consume around 2,000 calories a day, no more!)

While pregnant you need good sleep. It will be easier for you to drift off to sleep, if you instill some bedtime rituals such as reading a few pages of a book and/or having a cup of warm milk or chamomile tea. Use soothing tools like a shower that is warm, a good book or getting a massage.

Exercise regularly during your pregnancy. Exercise can make labor and recovery easier, will keep your weight down and can reduce the chances of complications in pregnancy.

Once you find out that you are pregnant, make sure that you find a doctor or midwife that you are comfortable with. Many times, women choose the first doctor that they see and end up having an unpleasant experience with them. Ask friends and family if they know of a good, reliable midwife.

Yoga is a great way to prepare for childbirth. This form of exercise helps with morning sickness and eases discomfort caused by back pain. The stretches used in yoga help cultivate the muscles used for birthing. Most pregnant woman find that they have less aches and pains and more energy while practicing yoga during pregnancy.

If you are pregnant and concerned with unsightly stretch marks post-pregnancy, it would be wise to invest in some cocoa butter. It has been shown that regular use of cocoa butter during and after pregnancy reduce and/or eliminate the appearance of unsightly stretch marks. So go get yourself a tub of it today!

When you are pregnant and your stomach finally starts expanding go buy yourself some comfortable maternity clothes. Your going to be pregnant for the next several months, so you might as well be comfortable. This also makes sure that you don’t have to keep buying new clothes as you continuously expand.

Make sure the prescription drugs you are taking are not dangerous to the health of your baby. Every prescription drug on the market has a “pregnancy class” that tells you whether the drug is safe to take during pregnancy. If you are taking a drug that is unsafe for pregnant women, ask your doctor about alternatives. Most drugs have one or more.

If you find it hard to stick to a healthy diet during pregnancy, ask your partner to join you as you change your old eating habits to new healthy ones. It is always easier to make the right choices when you have a helpful partner to support you. Both of you will see the benefit of eating more vegetables, whole grains and fruit.

A multivitamin is a workhorse during pregnancy. Make sure and take them every day. Multivitamins provide essential folic acid for the developing baby. They also can reduce the risk of preeclampsia by 45% when taken regularly. Set yourself a reminder in your phone or with notes to take it on a regular basis.

There is so much information that a pregnant woman needs to take in to help navigate the many situations she’ll find herself in during the pregnancy. However, if you are able to keep the tips above handy, you will be more likely to enjoy your pregnancy and feel less stressed.
