To get better sleep while you are pregnant, come up with a routine for bedtime. It will be easier for you to drift off to sleep, if you instill some bedtime rituals such as reading a few pages of a book and/or having a cup of warm milk or chamomile tea. Try soothing rituals such as a warm shower, reading a short story, or having a shoulder massage.
Make sure your oral health is solid, and continue seeing a dentist during your pregnancy. There is an increased risk of dental problems, such as gingivitis, while you are pregnant. Be sure to brush two times a day or more and use floss and mouthwash, as well. If there are any issues, make sure to get in touch with your dentist.
Discuss any travel plans with your doctor, during pregnancy. Bring any prenatal medical records, just in case.
Consider engaging the services of a doula. A doula can help coach you through your delivery. They are able to give you tips and support when you are in labor. They can assist your partner in being the best birth coach they can, and it gives you the comfort of having someone who is very experienced in the room with you.
Do not forget about your spouse or partner when you are pregnant. More than likely, they are feeling just as nervous about the baby as you are, and they probably need reassurance, too. Take the time to have special “couple time” together, and cherish your time together before the baby arrives and turns your world upside down. Take advantage of the remaining time alone!
Document your pregnancy with pictures and stories so you can share them with your child as they age. Kids love to see what their mothers looked like while pregnant. You can add notes about your feelings, hopes and dreams to go along with the pictures you take to chronicle your journey.
If you follow the suggestions outlined in the above article, then you and the baby will get through your pregnancy quite easily. Follow these tips to help you relax and have a wonderful pregnancy.
