Do's and Dont's during Pregnancy

Pregnancy and child birth are the best things to happen to in any girl's life. So is true with me as well. I shall pass on a few tips to the moms-to-be.

There are a very few pregnancies where, everything goes on smoothly and you end up delivering without much effort. But in my case, I almost had all the symptoms and ended up in a C-section.

So, I took atmost care to deliver a healthy baby and these are some of the stuffs that I think I can document and pass on to.

 It is better to check with a Gynaecologist if you have any intentions of having a child. It helps to avoid any mishap. The doctors mostly suggest a Folic-acid based course for the development of the healthy babies.

When the pregnancy is confirmed....

Do's
------
1. Take in enough liquid in form of fresh juices and water. There is bound to be constipation. It is always better to take in vegetables like Cabbage and Radish that help in easing out.

2. Some people might have nausea, vomiting and giddiness. So, it is better to identify those food items that are  nauseating and avoid them.

3. Take rest. Sleeping is the best way to take rest.

4. Listen to a lot of music. Researches are going on to prove the music therapy helps in a sharp development of brain in fetuses.

5. Start walking and doing exercises/yoga that your doctor has prescribed.

6. Eat lots of fruits like pomegranate and apple.

7. Watch comedy clips to keep your mood upright as there will be a lot of mood swings happening due to hormonal changes.

Dont's
-------
1. Eat outside food and water. They may contain ajinomotto, a chinese salt, which is supposed to carcinogenic.

2. Eat sweets and oily food that might lead to Gestational diabetics and also high blood pressure. It always helps in keeping weight gain under control.

3. Eat for 2 people. There is never a case where we will be eating for two people including the child. It only leads to unnecessary weight gain. Fill your stomach. The baby will get its food automatically.

4. Take in medicines without consulting doctor. The medicines that we take might have a different effect during pregnancy.

5. Apply cosmetic lotions/creams. They affect the skin and leave some pigmentations.

6. Lift heavy objects. This might leave you gasping for breath and might lead to cramps

7. Take too much Stress. With the amount of sedentary and stressful jobs increasing, there is a need to take extra care to avoid such stuff.

8. Travel in Auto-Rickshaws.

These are some of the suggestions that I put forth to the expecting mums out there. Shall Update the blog if some more strike my mind,

Love!
