Being pregnant is a great blessing for every woman and at the same time a great responsibility. Her life and the life of the baby she carries in her womb will depend entirely on her. Therefore, she must lead a healthy lifestyle to bring a healthy baby into the world. To do this, we took on the task of presenting this four-step guide, with healthy recommendations that allow any woman to take care of her pregnancy, thus avoiding complications.
The first thing a woman should do when she finds out she is pregnant is to seek prenatal care. This will provide proper medical care for her early pregnancy. Her doctor will prescribe vitamins such as folic acid, iron and calcium, which will provide great benefits. For example, folic acid has the function of preventing birth defects in the baby. While iron is helpful in keeping both blood healthy and calcium in preventing pre-eclampsia and premature labor. Therefore, it will be very important to comply with medical instructions and appointments, as scheduled for the well-being of both. Each stage of pregnancy requires different medical attention, so in addition to receiving the corresponding medical care and examinations, she will also receive very detailed guidance on the physical and emotional changes, which will help her to have a healthier and more functional life during her pregnancy.
The second important step to have a healthy pregnancy is to follow a balanced diet that includes meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and dairy products. For no reason should a restrictive diet be followed, where the consumption of some type of food is limited or stop eating for long hours, for fear of gaining a lot of weight during pregnancy, this could cause serious complications. On the contrary, despite the annoying nausea in the morning, she should always eat breakfast, it is recommended to consume a small portion of food, such as a slice of wholemeal bread or some fruit, to calm her stomach. Similarly, to avoid nausea, it is recommended to eat small portions of food during the day, not to starve or eat too much and finally avoid fatty and spicy foods. On the other hand, it is important to mention that to improve her diet, it is also recommended to reduce the consumption of coffee and increase the consumption of water. In addition to completely avoiding alcohol and drugs. Substances that increase the risk of serious complications, such as the baby being born with low birth weight, premature or with birth defects. In addition to suffering from chronic diseases later. A healthy diet is definitely a fundamental element for a pregnant woman’s body to be healthy and fit to give birth to a healthy baby. In addition to allowing her to fulfill her daily responsibilities or physical activities during pregnancy.
One of the great doubts that a pregnant woman has is to determine if it is better to perform exercise routines during her pregnancy. As we all know, exercise brings physical and emotional health. Which is why performing low-impact exercises is the third step in our guide to healthy pregnancies. Low-impact exercise routines, such as swimming exercises, walking and yoga, are recommended as long as it is authorized by the doctor. It is worth remembering that it is not recommended to perform high impact exercises and lift heavy things, to avoid complications. To conclude our guide to healthy pregnancies, we present the fourth and final step, this is getting a good night’s sleep. So it is recommended to rest a lot, this improves blood flow which increases and facilitates the arrival of oxygen and nutrients to the baby. In addition, it is recommended to sleep on the side, especially on the left side. This decreases pressure on the back, especially in late pregnancy. In addition to facilitating the functioning of her heart.
As we mentioned at the beginning of this blog, being pregnant is a great blessing for every woman and at the same time a great responsibility. In short, in order to have a healthy baby, you need to keep all your doctor’s orders and appointments. In addition, you must lead a healthy lifestyle, which includes a good diet, many hours of rest and finally exercises, with medical authorization. Definitely a pregnancy is a great commitment, a commitment not only of the future mother and father, but also of the whole family. For this reason, this blog is dedicated to my beautiful and beloved niece Michelle and her husband Manny. For us, her pregnancy was a great blessing and the perfect gift, so we appreciate you allowing us to enjoy these moments with you. We are very excited and looking forward to the arrival of Baby Elenek in our lives.
