EXERCISE TIPS DURING PREGNANCY

Most exercises are safe to perform during pregnancy, as long as you exercise with caution and do not overdo it. The safest and most productive activities are swimming, brisk walking, indoor stationary cycling, step or elliptical machines, and low-impact aerobics (under the supervision of a certified aerobics instructor).

FOOD TIPS DURING PREGNANCY

Your body needs more protein and calcium to meet the growing needs of the baby. Foods such as legumes, sweet potatoes, salmon, eggs, broccoli, dark leafy greens, lean meat, and fish liver oil are particularly helpful during this time.

MENTAL WELL BEING DURING PREGNANCY

Hormones and general stress can wreak extra havoc on your mental health during pregnancy. While this is unavoidable, there are quite a few things you can do to manage the stress and emotional rollercoaster. Start with setting the right expectations – be realistic about what you can do and cannot. Rest when you need to. Listen to your body. Eat regularly, choose wholesome foods. Spend time with people who make you feel at ease.

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR?

Call your doctor if you have:

• Blood or fluid coming from your vagina.
• Sudden or extreme swelling of your face or fingers.
• Headaches that are severe or won’t go away.
• Nausea and vomiting that won’t go away.
• Dizziness.

• Severe pain or cramps in your lower abdomen.
• Chills or fever.
• A change in your baby’s movements.
• Less urine or burning when you urinate.
• An illness or infection.
• Any other symptoms that bother you.

At the end of the day, what matters is that you make the most of your pregnancy, put your health and well-being first because if you’re healthy, the baby will be healthy. We hope this journey is magical for you!
