Five tips for a healthier pregnancy are as follows-
Follow these five tips for the health of both ( baby and mom ) in pregnancy.
1. Take folic acid
A dose of folic acid substantially reduce the risk of birth defects affecting the spinal cord, brain and skull, it may also protect against heart and urinary tract abnormalities and sharply cut the odds of premature birth and pre-eclampsia. Pregnancy multivitamins containing folic acid may have an edge over a plain folic acid supplement, and a recent study suggests they also decrease the likelihood of low birth weight.2. Exercise regularly
Regular physical activity helps prevent excessive weight gain and keeps mom’s blood sugar levels to be very high (which causes some babies to grow too big, increasing the chances of a difficult birth). What’s more, walking a half-hour three to four times weekly seems to decrease the chances of developing gestational diabetes and keeps mom and baby healthy.3. Eat a healthy diet
A healthy diet goes hand in hand with exercise for curbing excess weight gain and preventing gestational diabetes. A healthy diet provides enough required vitamin and mineral required for baby growth.4. Take Flu Shot/ Care for flu
Pregnancy substantially increases the odds of having flu symptoms severe enough to require hospitalization, so Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization now recommends all expectant moms get a flu shot to protect two and make a healthier pregnancy.5. Go easy to work
It may be worthwhile to temporarily ease back on your workload: A recent study suggests that high job stress and working more time may increase the risk of low birth weight. So always go easy to work according to your overwork for a healthier pregnancy.Also, Read - Postpartum Care: Care Should be taken after giving birth
