Here are some recommendations on how to stay healthy during your pregnancy from our doctors at Woodlands OBGYN Associates of The Woodlands, TX:
- Make sure you are getting enough sleep. Pregnancy can be tiring, and it’s important to get as much rest as possible.
- Eat a healthy diet. Pregnancy is not the time to start eating unhealthy foods. Make sure you are eating plenty of vegetables, fruits, and even whole grains.
- Maintain proper eating habits. Even though you’re “eating for two,” you should be very well-aware of how much you are eating. If you are still hungry after a meal, drink ice water or reach for healthy snacks.
- Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, and reach for water before reaching for sugary sodas.
- Exercise regularly. Exercising during pregnancy is beneficial for both you and your baby. Just make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
- Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and using drugs. All of these things can be harmful to you and your baby. Use of these substances can also increase your risk of complications during your pregnancy or deformities in your growing baby.
- See your OBGYN regularly for checkups. This is important to ensure that both you and your baby are healthy.
Following these recommendations will help you have a healthy pregnancy.
