Three easy tips for a successful pregnancy
There’s nothing more exciting than finding out your family will soon be growing, and you’ll probably go through every imaginable emotion by the time you welcome your new child into the world! If it’s your first pregnancy, you only know what you’ve heard and read, but anyone who’s been through the process more than once will tell you that each time was different! Whatever your situation, our team at Central Clinic for Women is here to help!
Our central Arkansas women's clinic is conveniently located on the Baptist Health campus, and our experienced team of healthcare professionals is committed to providing the highest quality care for women of all ages. Our pregnancy care services include prenatal care, postpartum care, and everything in between! Here are a few easy ways to ensure your motherhood journey gets off to a great start, and we're always a phone call away if you have any additional questions!
Hit the books!
If this is your first pregnancy, your OB-GYN will be happy to recommend plenty of books and websites to help you educate yourself about what you’ll be going through in the coming months. Your “village” of family and friends will always have plenty of advice to offer, but you might also consider joining a support group for expectant moms if you’re interested in finding a safe space to discuss your feelings and concerns.
Stay properly fed and hydrated.
It’s a common misconception that pregnant women must “eat for two,” and you only need to add a few hundred extra calories to your diet during your second and third trimesters. Keep plenty of protein or iron-rich snacks around to help you deal with sudden food cravings, and drink at least 64-96 ounces of water each day. Discuss any dietary concerns or food allergies with your doctor, and check out this blog article
for more healthy eating tips.
Get Moving!
Your doctor might ask you to put your favorite high-intensity activities on pause for a few months, but you should strive to get at least 150 minutes of moderately intense aerobic activity each week. Prenatal yoga classes are also strongly recommended because they help you improve your flexibility, control your breathing, and lower your stress levels!
