Pregnancy is a unique, strange, exciting, and often wonderful journey in a woman's life. However, like many of life's bigger adventures, this one comes with a certain level of seriousness and responsibility.
This refers not only to nutrients but also to the attention, patience, and tenderness needed from a mum-to-be to support the health of her baby. So with that in mind, here are some helpful tips to keep you at your best throughout your pregnancy!
Exercise and yoga
Pregnancy brings its own specific stresses, along with the physical and mental pressures that can build up over the course of daily life.
Having a regular routine for working out and doing yoga can be excellent for counterbalancing stress. Pick low impact exercise if you need to relax any niggling back pain, boost your blood circulation, or just want to move your body to improve your mood. Yoga is another great option for pregnant ladies as it keeps your body supple and flexible as it changes over the 9 months. However, heavy weightlifting and intense cardio exercises are not allowed while pregnant - for more information, consult your doctor.
Sleep is the best medicine!
