Preparing For Nine Months Of Pregnancy Woes

By Jan Brightley


Congratulations on your pregnancy! You've found out that you are expecting and are about to embark on one of the most wonderful experiences of your life. Your journey will be extraordinary, but you will have many questions and concerns that you will need to learn and address. We want to help by offering some useful guidance.

Keep your stretch marks under control. This is easily managed by eating the correct types of foods. Your skin will remain healthy if your diet is rich in vitamins and nutrients. It will go a long way toward keeping your weight at an appropriate level, and that may help lessen your stretch marks.

If you don't feel like going out, don't. Your family and friends will understand your needs. You may be shocked by how much you need to go to the bathroom, how often you get tired and how nauseated you feel. Do not make yourself do anything you do not feel up to.

You should be touring your birthing facilities when time is near. The more comfortable you are, the easier birthing will be. It is very important that you look at and inspect these places so you have a greater idea what to expect when the time comes. Make a list of things you are going to need for yourself and your partner and select a facility with all these features.

Follow your doctor's appointments religiously. This will help you stay apprised of any issues that pop up, major or minor. Appointments are always scheduled at deliberate points in time, as a way for your doctor to keep track of your progress. To make sure you're both in top form, keep your appointments!

Have pictures and stories prepared to share with your baby once they are older. Children love to see pictures of what mommy looked like when they were still inside. Take a lot of pictures during each stage of pregnancy, and write down your thoughts into a journal that you can share with them later.

Take the time to investigate what premature labor looks like and when you need to go to the hospital. Do this with the hopes that you will not ever need to use this information. But, it's important to have certain information, should anything occur. When you can avoid preterm labor, you can save your baby's health.

Don't overextend yourself. If you have a type-A personality and want to do everything on your own, dial it back a bit, at least while you are pregnant. You need to relax a bit. Your body is changing a great deal, and you need to change along with it. Ask for help when you need it.

Be careful when you travel if you are pregnant. You want to be near a medical facility. You do not want to stray to far from a doctor in case any emergency or complications should arise. Make sure you also have a phone on your person every time you travel.

Get your things together for your trip to the hospital when you're into your third trimester. Putting it off for too long puts you at risk for having to go to the hospital empty handed. Be sure that you have your medical insurance card, a camera with batteries, and your birth plan.

Do not use any vaginal cleansing products when you are pregnant. They can cause health issues for your unborn child. Talk to your doctor about any unusual odors because it could signify urinary tract infections.

Always use the highest rated sunscreen possible when you are out in the summer sun during pregnancy. The sun can cause 'pregnancy mask' in pregnant women. Also, your face and body will become redder than usual.

Avoid gaining too much weight when pregnant. If you put on too much weight while pregnant, you risk impacting your health later, as the weight will be difficult to take off. Also, expect to put on 15-30 pounds during the course of your pregnancy.

Many pregnant women get heartburn. Pregnancy hormones, such as progesterone, are the cause, making it difficult to treat. To prevent heartburn, do not eat spicy and acidic foods and avoid eating near bedtime. Keep you head elevated while sleeping as an extra precaution. Talk to your doctor about the types of antacids that you can consume while pregnant if this does not work.

The tips included here will help you feel more knowledgeable about your pregnancy. Regardless of your current state of mind, this article should help you to feel better about your impending birth.
