When you initially find out you are pregnant, it can be quite daunting for a first time mom. As you have not experienced this miracle before, there will be a large number of questions circling your head. There will be questions about meeting with a doctor, telling people the news and what to expect from your body as your pregnancy progresses. Read on for the answers to many common pregnancy questions.
When pregnant, don’t fear turning down social invitations if you don’t feel you can handle it. People will understand that this is a trying time and you may not be able to keep up socially. You may be shocked by how much you need to go to the bathroom, how often you get tired and how nauseated you feel. Don’t overextend yourself.
Pregnant women need to be as stress-free as they can be. The stress has very adverse effects on the pregnant body, as well as possibly severe damage to the unborn child. Stress can even lead to a premature birth, if it is pushed too far or for too long.
Don’t clean the cat’s litter box while you’re pregnant. The chemicals found in litter and cat feces can be harmful to pregnant women. Just ask family or friends to take care of the chore for you until after the baby is born.
Understand that you might not get pregnant right away. In fact, it takes some women a year or longer in order to get pregnant. If you are still not pregnant after a year, schedule an appointment with your doctor. They will pinpoint any medical concerns about you getting pregnant.
If the birth of your child is overdue, start walking. Taking a walk is a healthy way to encourage your fetus to get into a lower position in order for him to be born. Take your partner with you. Do not do anything dangerous, like contact exercising.
After you change you habits, losing weight after you give birth will be easier. It may take awhile for you to get used to your new way of life, but one good thing is that you were already making a big life change with your new baby. Making a few positive adjustments to your forever-changed life can help you successfully lose weight after pregnancy.
