We\u2019re back today with a write up on some practical diet, nutrition and wellness tips to help guide you along the pregnancy dos and don\u2019ts. Even though many of the folklore and horror pregnancy stories cease to exist today, this does not make it ok to do everything you\u2019ve been \u2018warned\u2019 not to do by the older generation. Let\u2019s get on to it, now.<\/p><p><strong>Pregnancy Nutrition: The Dos<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Multivitamin:<\/strong>\u00a0studies have shown following a healthy diet alone may not be enough for pregnancy. Hence, it is always good to take a multivitamin on top of following a balanced diet that\u2019s rich in vitamins and minerals to provide your baby and you with the appropriate amount of nutrients it needs. That way it\u2019s beneficial for your baby and you. Do take note of the ingredients of a multivitamin before purchase though. And bear in mind that omega-3 fats are important for your baby\u2019s brain development.<\/p><p><strong>Ample rest:<\/strong>\u00a0being sleep deprived doesn\u2019t work well with anyone. Let alone a pregnant mummy. Once your newborn arrives it\u2019ll make sleep elusive. Therefore, it\u2019s always advisable to grab as much rest as you can. If a deep slumber isn\u2019t attainable, schedule naps whenever you can. Change up your bedtimes to achieve the required 8 hours of sleep each night. Fatique is a sign that your body needs more rest, so ditch the worrying and get as much Zzz\u2019s as you can.<\/p><p><strong>Work out:<\/strong>\u00a0remember when women were told to avoid lifting a finger whilst pregnant? Well, gone are those days. We know that ample exercise is good for mummy and baby. Regular exercise also helps with insomnia, muscle pains, excessive weight gains and mood swings. If you were quite a health nut before being pregnant, continue the good habit. If exercise isn\u2019t quite what you\u2019re looking for, you can opt to give yoga shot.<\/p><p><strong>Pregnancy Nutrition: The Don\u2019ts<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>No smoking:<\/strong>\u00a0yes, we know you already know this. But, being around smokers could also be harmful to yours and your baby\u2019s health. Hence, it is advisable to stay away whenever possible. Also, babies born to women who smoke whilst pregnant are most likely to have a lower birth weight and are more likely to incur learning disabilities as compared to those mummies who don\u2019t smoke.<\/p><p><strong>No raw meat:<\/strong>\u00a0ditch the steak tartare and opt for well, cooked dishes. As we know undercooked meat and eggs have a higher risk of foodborne illnesses. Also, food poisoning is quite the common occurrence and these conditions can cause serious and life-threatening illnesses.<\/p><p><strong>No deli meats:<\/strong>\u00a0this is inclusive of storebought or frozen sausages, salmon, nuggets and other cured means. Due to the various kinds of toxins they are possibly injected with to last longer \u2013 it may not work well with a pregnant mummy\u2019s body.<\/p><p>Remember if anything is bothering you, do follow it up with your Gynae. While the above general nutrition and diet tips will be useful, it is always good to discuss your specific diet and nutrition requirements with a qualified and experienced nutritionist.\u00a0Have a smooth sailing pregnancy, mummies!<\/p><p><strong><em>Find more articles offering practical\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cryoviva.com.sgpregnancy-mother-baby-care-tips\/\">pregnancy, maternity and parenthood tips<\/a>\u00a0on our site.
