It is advisable for a mother to start taking care of the health of her unborn child long before pregnancy: balancing her diet, establishing a healthy sleep and wakefulness routine, spending time in the fresh air, being physically active and psychologically stable.
When pregnancy occurs, the lifestyle restrictions that the expectant mother voluntarily imposes on herself will become stricter.
However, it is important to remember that any prohibitions and recommendations, which at first glance may seem quite harsh, are in fact not so excessive. Getting enough sleep, exercising moderately, taking walks in nature, avoiding negative thoughts and emotions when communicating with other people, adhering to the principles of a healthy diet, eliminating psychoactive substances (nicotine, alcohol, etc.) - all this fits well within the framework of the principles of a healthy lifestyle for anyone person, not just a pregnant woman.
Imagine your future baby. He was born, he is growing, you see him healthy, happy and smiling. Let this image become your starting point when making any decisions: whether to eat your favorite cake, whether to skip a sports activity, whether to hold a party in a smoky room, whether or not to follow the recommendations of the doctor managing your pregnancy.
Take care of yourself and your child!
