As those who have experienced it, even after the pain and the
discomfort, they claim that being pregnant is the most wonderful feeling
in the world. Men or women that have not experienced this will never
understand this bizarre feeling but since most women have said it, it
must be true.
Being pregnant is not all fun and games and
appointments to the gynecologist all the time. You have a huge
responsibility to carry out and take every step keeping in mind that
your life and your baby’s life are at stake all the time.
Take
help from experienced women and medical professionals for a complete
guide to things to do during pregnancy; and while you do that, take a
look at these four things that you should definitely say no to when you
are expecting a child.
1. Being a potato couch
One of the first
and foremost things you need avoid is being a potato couch thinking
that you are pregnant. Having a baby inside you does not make you sick
or paralyzed. Even though most people still say that you need to get as
much rest as you can, you will still need to keep your body moving so
that your baby can grow to have physically strong attributes. However,
this does not mean you start weight lifting and doing heavy chores. Walk
a short distance every day and keep doing light things around the
house.
2. Stressing out
Pregnancy can be very stressful,
especially for someone who is very impatient. Thinking of what will
happen and how you will do it will constantly cause you stress which you
need to avoid. The hormonal change in the body will be a factor while a
few things going around in your head will further cause you issues. To
reduce stressing out you can do everything that you thing busts the
adrenaline rush. It always helps to talk to someone to find a friend and
talk to them about everything that you feel. It is also helpful that
you write down your feelings and compose yourself through the writings.
If you are stressed about how things will be done, then make a
checklist.
3. Taking excessive medication
There are many
people all around the world that have now developed a habit of taking
medicines because they seem to be intolerant with a little headache or
cramps. This habit
persists when they are expecting a child which
causes many problems in the future. With this habit, you can cause
damage to the development of your baby. Your liver can be at stake more
than it is already and you can put your health in jeopardy. Unless your
doctor prescribes you a pill, you should not take it no matter how much
you think you need it.
4. Eating Sweets
Craving for
something sweet during pregnancy is normal. The reason behind this is
that your baby takes up a lot of your nutrients which make your body
crave glucose. However, processed foods like donuts and chocolates in a
huge amount can cause your child to have juvenile diabetes. Take
naturally sweet fruits and food that will be healthy and help you tone
down your cravings.
