A calm first stage of pregnancy is very important for the baby's health. Many mothers are advised to take a vacation for this period, relax more, spend time in the fresh air. The fact is that it is at the very beginning of pregnancy that all the internal organs of the baby are laid. A small heart already begins to work, the brain develops. Absolutely the whole life of a child depends on the mother’s lifestyle during this period! Therefore, no stress and hassle. Forget about alcohol and cigarettes. All this directly affects the health of the baby.
Many mothers notice the vagaries of their appetite in the first months of pregnancy. Food takes on a strange character. I want one or the other. Well, if at this moment there is a loving spouse who with understanding will run at night in the middle of winter for fresh pineapple. This is normal and is associated with hormonal changes in the body.
Since the baby develops very quickly in the first trimester, mom should balance her diet so that the baby is provided with all the necessary elements. Protein food is important . Be sure to have fish or meat in your daily diet. Lots of vegetables and fruits. But the smoked, fried and salty gradually need to be abandoned. If in the first months of pregnancy such products are still allowed in minimal quantities, then they are completely excluded. And you don’t have to eat for two at all, as our grandmothers call for it. Overeating will only lead to a strong gain in weight, which is not very good during pregnancy.
If the observing gynecologist prescribes special multivitamins for pregnant women, do not refuse them, the baby now needs them.
