Tips for pregnant women
Here are ways to take care of yourself during the special and very important phase of pregnancy.
Visit your gynaecologist regularly. Do not take any decisions regarding diet, medication or exercise on your own. Your doctor knows better.
Get early and regular prenatal care. It doesn't matter if this is your first pregnancy or if you have already had children.
Eat a healthy diet that includes fruits, vegetables, grains and calcium - rich foods. Choose foods low in saturated fat.
Unless your doctor instructs you otherwise, try to be physically active for 30 minutes, most days of the week. If you are pressed for time, you can get your activity in through 10 minute segments, three times a day.
If you smoke, drink alcohol, or use drugs, STOP. These can cause long-term damage to your baby. Talk with your doctor steps to take to stop smoking. Talk with a member of your faith community, a counselor, a trusted friend, or your doctor if you are concerned about your alcohol or drug use.
Ask your doctor before taking any medicine, even over-the-counter medicines. Some medicines are not safe to take during pregnancy.
Avoid hot tubs or saunas and x-rays during pregnancy.
Do not empty the cat litter when you are pregnant. It may contain a parasite that causes an infection called toxoplasmosis, which can cause birth defects. Also, use gloves when working in garden areas used by cats.
Don't eat uncooked or undercooked meats or fish.
Stay away from toxic chemicals like insecticides, solvents (like some cleaners or paint thinners), lead, and mercury. Most dangerous household products will have pregnancy warnings on their labels. Ask your health care provider about products if you are unsure.
Limit or eliminate your caffeine intake from coffee, tea, sodas, medications, and chocolate.
Many women continue working through pregnancy. Staying active might help you stay healthier. If you have a question about the safety of your particular job,think.
Get informed. Read books, watch videos, and talk with experienced moms.
Listening to pleasant, mild music, watching pleasant things, and doing things that you enjoy doing the most will keep you happy and generate positive vibes.
Spend a lot of time with your husband, for it's your child and you will certainly have plenty of things to discuss. After all, these are special moments in one's life!

Don't eat lox and red meat (unless very well cooked). Fruits and vegetables are ok as long as you wash them very well. You should be taking acid folic for your first trimester. It's found in leafy vegetables but I would just take a supplement. Drink a lot. Congratulations!

If it's going to make you throw up, don't eat it. Eat what sounds good but watch the unhealthy foods and eat very small amounts of those. Good luck!

Having a baby is a blessing from God that's why you should take good care of yourself so that the baby inside will also be safe. You should always eat nutritious foods, take the right vitamins, and have a good exercise. You should also talk to your baby even though he/she is inside because you don't know he/she is listening to youa nd be glad knowing that you are very excited to see him/her!!! Do not eat foods that the doctors avoided to you because it's for your onw good. Always pray to God that your delivery will be successful and ask Him that you will have the most beautiful or handsome baby in the world....

Veggies and fruits!!! multiple small means instead of a couple big ones. By small I mean like a handful of grapes for one meal, a couple pieces of toast for another, a salad for another, a cup of soup, an apple, a tuna sandwich. basically what you would normally fit into 3 big meals split it up into a bunch of teeny ones.
