Pregnancy DO and DON'T

Hello dear readers,

It is a lovely day and so I would like to finalize the DOs before I go to the DON'Ts

6.     Get moving! Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, physical activity is good for you and your baby. 

7.     Get enough sleep. Aim for 7 to 9 hours every night. Resting on your left side helps blood flow to you and your baby and prevents swelling. Using pillows between your legs and under your belly will help you get comfortable. 

8.     Set limits. If you can, control the stress in your life and set limits. Don’t be afraid to say “no” to requests for your time and energy. Ask for help from others. 

9.     Make sure health problems are treated and kept under control. If you have diabetes, control your blood sugar levels. If you have high blood pressure, monitor it closely. 

10.    Ask your doctor before stopping any medicines you take or taking any new medicines. Prescription, over-the counter, and herbal medicine all can harm your baby. 

11.     Always wear a seat belt. The lap strap should go under your belly, across your hips. The shoulder strap should go between your breasts and to the side of your belly.

12. Talk to your baby, make connection with him or her.Sing songs

Stay healthy...Happy pregnancy
