Top pregnancy tips

18 Top Pregnancy Tips:

Your body has been perfectly designed to cope with pregnancy changes. Just relax and enjoy every phase of the next nine months.

Health:
ü  Choose your health-care provider carefully
ü  Exercise (especially swimming) is relaxing and prepares your body for the birth
ü  For back-ache, sit in a chair the wrong-way-round and get your partner to give you a massage

Looking good:
ü  Don’t cut your hair very short – it can make your face look rounder than it really is
ü  Buy one or two smart outfits that you can mix and match
ü  Pamper yourself. Get your legs waxed and go for pedicures

Sleep:
ü  Enjoy your beauty sleep. Do things with your partner you won’t have the time to do later
ü  Go to bed early
ü  Enjoy sleeping on your tummy while you can!

Food:
ü  Sip lemon water, ginger ale or supplement drinks for morning sickness. Try nibbling on cream crackers or grated apple
ü  Don’t use pregnancy as an excuse to ‘pig-out’ – it will take twice as long to lose the extra weight. Don’t snack on high-energy junk food – eat healthy.
ü  Pack your freezer with ready-made meals

Hospital tips:
ü  Pack your bag and get baby’s things together from 30 weeks
ü  Walk around as much as you can while you are in early labour
ü  Don’t write a birth plan – expect the unexpected

Baby tips:
ü  Look for your local baby clinic and find out about their services
ü  Enjoy feeling your baby kick and move – you’ll miss it when it’s gone
ü  Learn to trust your instincts
