1. Baby Is Coming! Tips For The New Mom-To-Be!
Weight gain and other physical changes during your pregnancy are unavoidable, but there are many
ways to ensure that you and your baby stay healthy during this time. While there is not a lot you can
do to avoid some weight gain, there are steps you can take to simplify taking the weight off after
your pregnancy is complete. This article will go over some great advice that will keep you fit when
you're pregnant.
Make sure to protect your skin from the sun while pregnant. Tanning beds should be a no-go while
pregnant. You skin is more sensitive during pregnancy and burns are more likely. Make sure that
any sunscreen you use is safe for your unborn baby.
Don't touch your cat's litter box after becoming pregnant! Cat feces can contain a parasite that can
be dangerous to pregnant women and their unborn child. If possible, have your spouse or a neighbor
help you out with doing this task for the duration of your pregnancy.
When planning your family, remember that it may take about a year for you to get pregnant. Visit
your doctor if you and your partner have been attempting to get pregnant for over a year without
success. The doctor can check you over for medical issues.
As the pregnancy progresses, make sure you have a birthing facility tour booked in. By learning all
about the facility you give birth in, you can ease a lot of your concerns, and the process will run
much more smoothly. Try checking a couple places if you can to see what you're interested and not
interested in. Check out the facilities and the staff.
Don't hesitate to ask others to help with heavy lifting during your pregnancy. Heavy lifting is
especially hard on your pregnant body, and if you strain too much you can hurt your baby or even
cause early labor. Always have others life heavy objects, even if you think you can do it.
Be certain that you are aware of symptoms signaling premature labor. Study this possibility
thoroughly, so you can be prepared to call your physician if needed at the proper time.
If a sickness or food gives you diarrhea while pregnant, drink lots and lots of fluids. Everyone can
get dehydrated when they have diarrhea. Pregnant women can end up in the hospital if they do not
stay hydrated when pregnant.
Keep a food diary and keep a record of all your food choices. Keeping track of what you eat will help
to ensure that you are getting the proper nutrition. Your prenatal care team may also be interested
in your food journal.

2. Have pictures and stories prepared to share with your
baby once they are older. They will be delighted and
amazed to think that they were once in there. You can
add notes about your feelings, hopes and dreams to go
along with the pictures you take to chronicle your
journey.
Look for stories of giving birth online to be better prepared for the experience yourself. Although
clinical books can provide you with all the facts you need to know, reading an actual birth story can
provide you with first-hand experience from another mother. Reading those stories will help you feel
more calm about everything.
You need to begin massaging your stomach towards the end of the second trimester of pregnancy.
Place some pillows together behind your back while sitting on a bed or couch. Use some oil, not
lotion, for light pressure massaging on your belly. You could also turn on smoothing music. Also, do
not forget to breathe. This will help you relax, and it will also soothe the baby.
It's impossible to get through your pregnancy

dealing with issues like weight, you're still
going to be able to deliver a healthy baby if you
have the right kind of advice. Remember to use
all these tips. There are some great ones here
