Some tips for pregnant women

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!
