A REGULAR ROUTINE DURING PREGNANCY – GOOD FOR BABY, ESSENTIAL FOR MOM

Maintaining a regular routine can be incredibly valuable and important during uncertain and stressful times. This is particularly true for pregnant women, who may already be experiencing heightened levels of anxiety and uncertainty.

A regular routine is proven to help reduce stress and regulate one’s sleep. It can also go a long way to encouraging healthy habits and provide a sense of control as moms-to-be prepare for the arrival of their precious bundle of joy.

So … as you journey through this special time, we thought we would share some ideas on what to include in a regular routine over the coming months:

  • Stay hydrated. Drinking sufficient water each day is essential for staying hydrated, promoting healthy skin, and supporting overall health and wellness.
  • A healthy diet. Eating a well-balanced diet that is rich in whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources can provide essential nutrients needed for a healthy pregnancy.

 

  • Regular exercise. Staying active during pregnancy can help to maintain a healthy weight, improve one’s mood and reduce the risk of gestational diabetes and other pregnancy-related complications. However, it is essential to consult your healthcare provider before starting or continuing an exercise routine when pregnant.
  • Plenty of rest. Getting enough sleep and rest is essential during pregnancy. Try to establish a regular sleep routine and avoid stimulating activities before bedtime.
  • Stress-management techniques. Pregnancy can be a stressful time and it is important – for mama and baba, to manage one’s stress levels. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation and yoga can be hugely beneficial in helping to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
  • Prenatal appointments. Regular prenatal care is critical for monitoring the health and development of both mom and baby. Be sure to attend all your scheduled prenatal appointments to help ensure optimal care during pregnancy.

 

And finally, but as importantly, a little bit of pampering and lots of self-love. Incorporating Happy Event products into your daily self-care practice can help to support healthy skin and reduce the appearance of stretch marks, thereby supporting overall health and well-being during pregnancy.
