Well first of Congratulations since you are reading this I am assuming you’re pregnant or you know someone that is pregnant. There are definitely do's and don'ts during pregnancy but who is the expert. I am not saying I am an expert or no were near knowing everything about Pregnancy but I have had 2 children of my own and I can tell you what I did and didn't do.
Let me tell you when I found out I was pregnant I was so petrified I wouldn't know what to do so I started reading everything I could get a hold of. But that just got me more confused. So I just decided to go on basically my gut instincts. Fist of all I found asked family and friends of a good obstetrician. They gave me a list and finally I chose one.
You definitely want to have regular checkups with your ob doctor and have him prescribe you some pre natal vitamins. That is the best way to avoid complications on the most part. You also need plenty of rest and exercise. What I did with both my children is
I took daily naps and went for a walk everyday. Didn't really need them at first but as time goes on you will find you will get tired easily. Also You still need to watch your diet. Of course you will gain weight but you don't need to gain an extreme amount that makes it harder when it comes time for delivery.
With both of my children I quit smoking since smoking causes low birth weight and or premature labor in some cases. Also make sure you Check with your doctor about what prescription or non prescription drugs you can take (even aspirin). If you have an insect problem in your home avoid insecticides. Leave the home while someone else sprays. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
Well this is some of the things you can and can’t do. As you can see it's not all that hard or scary when it comes to what’s doing right. Once you get use to the fact it can actually be kind of fun for both you and the dad. So enjoy the time you have alone together because once the baby comes look out.
