Preparing For Nine Months Of Pregnancy Woes

By Jan Brightley


Congratulations on your pregnancy! You've found out that you are expecting and are about to embark on one of the most wonderful experiences of your life. Your journey will be extraordinary, but you will have many questions and concerns that you will need to learn and address. We want to help by offering some useful guidance.

Keep your stretch marks under control. This is easily managed by eating the correct types of foods. Your skin will remain healthy if your diet is rich in vitamins and nutrients. It will go a long way toward keeping your weight at an appropriate level, and that may help lessen your stretch marks.

Be sure that you're taking in at least eight full glasses of water every day when you're pregnant. You and your child require hydration, but you can also avoid overeating by drinking water. What feels like hunger is often just dehydration. If you have eaten and are still ravenous, drink a cup of water rather than snack.

Avoid taking vitamin A when you are pregnant. Embryo damage can result from too much Vitamin A. You should avoid mangoes, egg yolks, mozzarella cheese, liver and other foods containing this vitamin. These foods in moderation are okay, just don't eat them on a daily basis.

There is a great deal to learn about the various stages of pregnancy. It may be fun, and quite illuminating, to look at a few books on the topic of pregnancy. Learn all you can about the pregnancy process and any problems you want to be on the lookout for. Don't be afraid to ask questions and insist on quality information and care.

If pregnancy is something you want to achieve, begin a workout program. Active women are less likely to have complications during pregnancy and tend to have shorter labor. In addition, healthy exercise helps to reduce the incidence of miscarriage.

Are you not pregnant yet but plan to be soon? If so, make sure you talk to your doctor before first. Speaking with a doctor about your pregnancy will let them give you information about your health that's valuable to you. This can not only help you become pregnant faster, it can make your pregnancy healthier and easier too.

Due dates are just an estimation. Focusing too much on a specific day can be frustrating if the date comes and goes with no baby. Think instead on all the surprises coming up in your pregnancy. And love the small things surrounding it.

When pregnant, what a women eats or drinks is passed along to their baby. Prescription drugs, alcohol, and street drugs can all be very harmful, so always follow your doctor's advice regarding them. This can damage your baby's health to an extreme.

Get your things together for your trip to the hospital when you're into your third trimester. Putting it off for too long puts you at risk for having to go to the hospital empty handed. Be sure that you have your medical insurance card, a camera with batteries, and your birth plan.

If you have mood swings when you're pregnant, try yoga or meditation. These are both natural techniques that will put your body at ease. Ask your partner or spouse to join you for a mutually beneficial experience.

Kegel exercises are something you should try. No one will know you are doing them, and you can do them anywhere and any time. Hold each kegel for 3 seconds and do 10 repetitions every time. Your pelvic floor will become stronger and you'll have an easier time during labor. They also help with an embarrassing side effect of pregnancy- incontinence.

Avoid gaining too much weight when pregnant. If you put on too much weight while pregnant, you risk impacting your health later, as the weight will be difficult to take off. Also, expect to put on 15-30 pounds during the course of your pregnancy.

Make sure your doctor knows when you decide you want to get pregnant. They can advise you on lifestyle choices that will be conducive to a healthy pregnancy. This one visit can help you immensely when starting off a healthy pregnancy.

The tips included here will help you feel more knowledgeable about your pregnancy. Regardless of your current state of mind, this article should help you to feel better about your impending birth.
