Stay healthy throughout your pregnancy. Follow these tips on nutrition and more.
Eat healthy
Don’t skip breakfast. Go with healthy snacks and load up on fiber. Start taking prenatal vitamins as well, the Medicinenet says.
Exercise
Staying active cuts down on your stress, keeps your weight under control and helps you sleep better. It also helps boost your circulation and mood. However, before you do anything, make sure you check in with your doctor.
Plan it out
Create a birth plan. Do you want to use an epidural? Make a list of what you want. Sooner or later, you’ll need to assemble your birth team, which may include hiring a doula to help you.
Do your homework
If you’re looking for a doula, check out reputable Pregnancy Services in NJ to find someone with the right set of credentials. Think about whether you want a doula during your pregnancy, the birth or after.
Read up on it
Educate yourself about what’s going to happen. Read. Check out videos. Ask your doctor. You’ll less likely to stress over the upcoming birth when you know what you’re going to be in for.
Attend classes
Browse through Pregnancy Services in NJ and look for companies that offer childbirth classes. Being in a class with other expectant mommies and daddies brings the learning experience to a whole new level. Plus, you can’t discount the advantage of having a teacher or coach that you can reach out to for specific questions or concerns.
Track your weight gain
Being pregnant for two means you’ll be packing on a lot of weight. But too many extra pounds may make for a difficult birth and can even compromise your health and that of the baby. Make sure you’re gaining weight at a healthy pace by keeping track. Always consult with your doctor.
