PREGNANCY TIPS Content

For back pain during pregnancy, sit in chairs that have back support. The more posture you have the better your back will feel.

Know who and when to tell. The first three months are the most common time for miscarriage; so give the baby time to get settled before you announce.

If you eat fast food regularly, aim to cut down your consumption to once or twice a week at the most.

Eat 80 to 100 grams of high quality protein every day. Protein forms the foundation of every cell of your babys body.

Get a flu shot. The flu vaccine, however, is perfectly safe during pregnancy, and is strongly recommended.

Count the kicks. You should feel the baby kick at least 10 times a day. Monitor these movements, as a lack of kicking could indicate a problem.

Take supplements to reduce discomfort in your aching legs. Leg cramps can be due to low calcium and magnesium levels during pregnancy.

Just because it is past your due date does not mean you are overdue

Savor intimacy with your partner during pregnancy. You may sexually slow down when the baby comes, so have fun.

Talk with your doctor about any unusual discharge.
