Most women would say that their daily commute, taking the stairs in their office, residence building or doing the usual household chores constitutes enough exercises and help\u00a0burn those extra calories. But not exercising during pregnancy can harm your body like no other. Exercise helps to combat stress hormones, boosts circulation, prepare the body for labour and delivery and help in fetal growth and development. Remember daily wear and tear is no substitute for exercise.<\/p><p><strong>What you should do:<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Start exercising from the initial days of your pregnancy. If you are a beginner, discuss your plan with your doctor and how you should go about it. If you have already started hitting the gym, have a detailed discussion with your trainer on how you can alter your regimen to suit your special needs. Remember not to do anything drastic or take up any new challenges during your pregnancy. Most importantly avoid putting any pressure on your core (stomach muscles). If you are well into your pregnancy and have not exercised enough, start to make time for it. Take walks after dinner or in the morning and slowly graduate to pregnancy yoga, but get yourself a coach or practitioner to help you stay on the right track.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5916ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c5916ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">7.

Despite all the myths, no link has been established between preterm labor and sex in the last trimester. Lying flat on your back at this late stage in pregnancy, though, is not a good idea. Talk to your doctor or midwife about positions that are still safe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aab3e3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aab3e3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">8.

Contrary to popular belief, depression does not just affect women who have already given birth. Approximately one in ten pregnant women will suffer from some form of depression during pregnancy. It can be tricky to diagnose mood disorders during pregnancy because some of the symptoms can overlap with symptoms of pregnancy, such as changes in appetite, energy levels, concentration, or sleep. It\u2019s also normal to have some degree of worry over the health of the pregnancy.<\/p><p><strong>What you should do:\u00a0<\/strong>If you experience persistent symptoms of depression and\/or anxiety, especially if you\u2019re unable to function normally, it\u2019s not a time to suffer in silence.

You may get resistance from relatives who consider child care to be only a woman\u2019s domain. Talking to your husband about such criticism may help you both figure out how you want to tackle the situation.<\/p><p><strong>What you should do:\u00a0<\/strong>You can help your partner feel involved\u00a0in your pregnancy in several ways. It\u2019s likely your partner is feeling anxious about what might happen in the delivery room, so attending scans and antenatal classes together is a great place to start.

Sure there will be family to help you. But there is no harm if you want to do it on your own and here is where antenatal classes come in handy. Antenatal classes will give you all the information you might on pregnancy and childcare and prepare you for the onslaught of delivery.<\/p><p><strong>What you should do:\u00a0<\/strong>Pick up a class during your first trimester when things are still in the nascent stage. In this way, you will have a lot of time to learn and do the right things for you and your baby. If you have missed out then look for a crash course in an antenatal program.
