Do not skip these supplements as they can prevent preterm labor and many serious health concerns in the newborn

 

Have nutritious foods like vegetables and fruits along with legumes, whole wheat, cereals etc., at regular intervals. Avoid oily and spicy food to ease your pregnancy symptoms. Plan your food intake and have it as 4 -5 light meals every day. Consult your gynecologist about your health before undergoing any workouts such as running, cardio exercise, yoga, swimming or aerobics. However, walking is a mild and good workout which will keep your body active and strong.

Your mental well-being is as important as your physical well-being. So keep your pressure and nervousness under control through relaxation techniques. Meditation, listening to music or reading books can relieve your stress. Get along with your friends and do your favorite things to keep your head cool.

If you are worried about compromising your wears then be cool. There are maternity jeans, dresses, skirts and Kurtis that will help you stay comfortable without sacrificing fashion. You do not have to put on loose, baggy clothes to cover the growing tummy.

You may have other skin changes. These can include darkening of the skin on your face or around your nipples. Some women get a dark line below their belly button. Try to stay out of the sun or use sunscreen to help lessen these marks. Most marks will fade after pregnancy.

Pregnancy might cause some physical discomforts to you. The best way to overcome these discomforts is to divert your mind to the positive things that pregnancy brings. Enjoy your baby shower, give it a little to your food cravings, hit the spa and relax your mind, enjoy your favourite book or movie and try to have fun.
