Pregnancy is an ideal time to begin to really take care of yourself both physically and emotionally. You give yourself the best chance of having a smooth pregnancy and a healthy baby if you follow some simple rules:
1. Have early prenatal care
Good prenatal care is important for the health of your child. The choice of an assistant as soon as possible means that you have months to build a good relationship in preparation for childbirth. Even if it does not offer the choice of caregiver, you may be able to develop a relationship with a midwife or doctor that you met during your pregnancy care.
2. Eating well
There is no reason to eat for two when you are pregnant, or drinking whole milk. In fact, your energy needs do not change during the first six months of pregnancy and increase only slightly over the last three months (with about 200 calories per day).
But it is important to eat a healthy balanced diet. Many women leave some food, but it is always possible to replace them by others which offer similar nutritional value.
Make sure your diet includes plenty of fruits and vegetables (five servings a day), and base your meals around carbohydrates such as bread, pasta and rice (preferably whole grains, so you get lots of fiber). Include proteins such as fish, meat, eggs, nuts or legumes, and some dairy products and dairy products every day. It is also important to eat breakfast and watch portion sizes and eating snacks between meals.
3. Be careful with food hygiene
It is best to avoid certain foods during pregnancy because they pose a risk to the health of your child.
Listeria can cause miscarriage or severe illness in newborns can be caused by mold-ripened soft cheeses such as brie and camembert, and blue cheeses like Stilton. Hard cheeses like cheddar and soft cheese, cottage cheese, Philadelphia and Boursin, are safe to eat.
To avoid toxoplasmosis, which is rare, but can endanger the unborn child, it is important to wear gloves and cat litter, garden soil, they eat undercooked or raw meat, and wash vegetables and salads thoroughly to remove dust or dirt.
Salmonella infections can be caused by eating undercooked poultry, eggs and raw or cooked. (Learn more about food hygiene in pregnancy).
4. Taking folic acid supplements and eat fish
Only supplement that is really important is folic acid (also called folic acid), which can help prevent spina bifida and other neural tube defects in children.
Spina bifida is a serious congenital condition. It occurs when the tube housing the central nervous system does not close completely and can cause severe disabilities. All women planning a pregnancy are advised to take a daily supplement of 400mcg of folic acid from around the time of conception through the first three months of pregnancy.
It can also increase natural folate intake through diet. Folate is found in many foods, especially vegetables and fortified breakfast cereals. Other nutrients that are important to your health and your baby are made of iron and calcium, which can be supplied by your diet.
Some studies have shown that fish oils containing omega-3 fatty acids may have a beneficial effect on pre-eclampsia, birth weight and infant brain development of babies and nerves at the end of pregnancy.
Fatty fish contain proteins, minerals, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, which your baby needs as it grows and grows, but also contains mercury and other pollutants. The current recommendation is to eat fatty fish such as herring, mackerel, salmon, sardines or no more than twice a week, but you can still eat other types of fish, as much as you want.
If you do not like fish, fish oil supplements are available (chose a brand free form of retinol, vitamin A, which is not recommended during pregnancy).
5. Exercise regularly
A good fitness program can give you the strength and duration of weight during pregnancy, and you have to do with the physical effort of work. In addition, it is much easier to get back in shape after the birth of the child.
Exercise can stimulate your mind and help prevent depression during pregnancy. Experts do not know exactly how, but there is evidence that increasingly has a positive effect on brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, which helps regulate your emotions and mood.
If you are accustomed to exercise as a sport, you can continue with this as it feels comfortable for you, unless your particular sport carries a risk of falls or blows. Gentle exercise such as walking, swimming, water aerobics, and yoga are also very beneficial.
6. Start doing pelvic floor exercises
It is very common for women who are pregnant or have children who suffer from stress incontinence, when small amounts of urine leakage during activities, including sneezing, laughing, and exercise. You can help avoid this situation by pelvic floor exercises, starting before pregnancy or during pregnancy.
muscles of the pelvic floor muscle mass at the base of your pelvis that support the bladder, vagina and rectum. They can feel weaker than normal during pregnancy because of extra pressure on them, and because pregnancy hormones cause them to loosen up.
The pelvic floor can be toned and strengthened the model of daily exercise. Current recommendations are that you should do pelvic floor exercises eight times, three times a day. Read the article on pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy more information on how to correct them.
7. Limit your alcohol consumption
Like any alcohol that is consumed quickly reach your baby through the placenta blood and may decide to cut it completely, or at least control how much.
The Royal College of Physicians and, more recently, the Ministry of Health recommends that pregnant women play it safe by avoiding contact with alcohol. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Food Standards Agency recommends that if you decide to drink, a limit of one or two units of alcohol, no more than once or twice a week and get drunk.
Women who drink heavily (over six units a day) on a regular basis during pregnancy is known to be at greater risk of having a child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FASD), which describes problems ranging from disorders learning more severe congenital malformations.
8. Cut the caffeine
Coffee, tea and cola beverages-style are mild stimulants, and although the results are not clear, some researchers believe that too much caffeine can contribute to the risk of low birth weight baby, or increase the risk of miscarriage.
Current recommendations suggest that up to two cups of coffee (the equivalent of four cups of tea or five cans of cola) per day will not hurt your baby, although one study suggests that even low levels of caffeine can increase risk of miscarriage.
As with alcohol, it is better to err on the side of caution and you can choose to tocut caffeine is significantly decreased, or change the juices decaffeinated coffee, tea or fruit, but especially during the first quarter. A good alternative to a glass of mineral water with lime or lemon twist.
9. Stop smoking
Women who smoke increase their risk of miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth and sudden death.
Smoking in the first quarter also increased slightly the risk of having a baby with a cleft lip or palate.
Although it is best to quit before even trying to imagine reductions in the number of cigarettes you smoke a day will give your child a better chance. (Read more tips on how to quit smoking during pregnancy.)
10. Rest
The fatigue you feel in the first and third trimesters is your body's way of saying "slow down". A midday nap may seem a luxury you can not pay, but you and your baby will both benefit. If you can not sleep, at least put your feet up and relax for 30 minutes or more, the best way that suits you.
If back pain is disturbing your sleep, try massage, aqua-natal classes or exercises specifically for back care. Exercise and relaxation can also help with sleep disorders related to stress. Try relaxation techniques that are safe during pregnancy, such as yoga, stretching, deep breathing and massage. Always tell the teacher a certain class or relaxation exercises that you frequent that you are pregnant or choose customized courses for pregnant women.
