It is equally important for both the mother and the growing baby.

Here in this Post, we are sharing few Pregnancy Tips to have a Healthy Baby.

What must mother do during Pregnancy

• Selecting doctor & place of birth (Hospital)

The moment you find out pregnancy, you need to select the right doctor. Early organizing the care helps you to get good advice for healthy pregnancy from the start itself.

• Go for the normal delivery

Normal delivery must be preferred over cesarean delivery as the mother would take less recovery time in normal delivery and there are no side effects.  On the other hand, recovery time is more and there are few side effects as well in cesarean delivery.

• Good Diet

Diet plays a very important role during pregnancy. A healthy diet is important for both mother and baby. Fresh fruits, green vegetables, dry fruits, etc. are necessary to include in the diet to get all necessary nutrients like vitamins, calcium, etc.

• Medicines/Supplements

The doctor recommends several medicines and few supplements during pregnancy. The most common are folic acid, iron, calcium, etc. Please take all these medicines properly as per instructions issued by the doctors for the healthy growth of the baby.

• Exercise

Exercise is very important for the health of the mother. It helps in controlling weight, improving blood circulation, etc. At least 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening is good enough for the health of the mother. Yoga would be a good option. It is mandatory to take the advice from the doctors before practicing any exercise or Yoga so start only after consulting the doctor.

• Regular Check-Up

It is highly advisable to go for regular check up to ensure the safety of the growing baby and mother. Visit the doctors after every 4 weeks (I am telling this from my personal experience) until 28 weeks of pregnancy and after this visit the doctors in every 2 weeks to ensure everything is going well.

• Enough Sleep

Having good sleep during pregnancy is important. Enough sleep makes feel the mother better and it also helps in the proper development of the baby. Try to go to bed early in the night to get good sleep. Sleep either on the left or right hand as shown in the picture. Left is recommendable as it relieves pressure from the back. Don’t take any sleeping pills during pregnancy unless it is recommended by the doctors.

What are Don’t during Pregnancy

• Try to avoid caffeine

Don’t take too much tea, coffee, soft drinks, etc. Taking too much caffeine is one of the major causes of miscarriage, birth complications, low baby weight, etc.

• Avoid alcohol and quit smoking

Smoking & drinking alcohol is very dangerous for pregnant women. It may increase miscarriage, birth complications, etc. It is always advisable to stop such things during pregnancy.

• Avoid Few Activities

It is highly recommendable to avoid a few activities like climbing stairs frequently, lifting heavy weights, standing a long period of time, etc. Apart from this, don’t take any medicine without consulting the doctors. You may face some health issues during pregnancy but consult your doctors before taking any medicine. It is beneficial for both mother and baby.

• Avoid Stress

Don’t take stress during pregnancy. It will impact the mother and her child.
