I am pregnant. What's next?

Pregnancy is one of the most exciting periods in a woman’s life. You found out that you are pregnant, and now you have many questions and doubts. What to do next? How to eat properly? How to behave and what to do? Let's try to figure it out together.

The first thing I want to point out is that if you are looking for information about pregnancy, then I will assume that your pregnancy was wanted. Therefore, let's not discuss options when pregnancy was not planned.

So what to do next? Don't worry, this is one of the most wonderful periods in a woman's life. Enjoy this time and do everything you did before, only better. Because now you are taking care not only of yourself, but also of the little living creature that is growing inside you.

Communicate with your baby, even if it seems strange to you. Your child may not speak, but he already understands your mood, emotions and feels your love. If you want to cry, cry, if you want to swear, swear. Feel free to express your emotions and feelings.

What about my husband? Don't expect him to understand everything the first time. Communicate with him openly and honestly, talk about what you need and what you expect from him. This will help avoid misunderstandings and offense in the future.

If there is no threat or categorical reluctance to intimacy, then having sex during pregnancy is possible and necessary. This is not only not harmful, but even beneficial for the health and mood of the expectant mother.

When to go to the gynecologist? If you are worried, it is better to look for a suitable doctor who you like and whose views suit you. If you feel well, then you don’t need to go to the doctor until mid-pregnancy. But if you have any problems or are worried, it is better to consult a doctor.

What about the computer? Try to sit up straight and not slump around the chair. After every half hour of sitting, get up and walk for 10-15 minutes. Remember to monitor the quality of your monitor and avoid side and rear radiation from other people's monitors.

What is? Eat in moderation, do not try to eat for two. If you want something, then you can, but not in industrial quantities. Try to avoid alcohol, cigarettes and canned food. Drink more water, limit your intake of carbonated drinks and artificial colors. Add more fruits, vegetables, protein and healthy fats to your diet. Also, be sure to consult with your doctor about which foods and vitamins you need to eat more of during pregnancy.

What to do if suddenly some problems or unusual sensations appear? Don't panic. Contact your doctor and tell us about your symptoms. He or she will be able to give you recommendations and order the necessary tests.

Finally, and most importantly, remember to enjoy every moment of your pregnancy. This is a special period in life that will pass very quickly. Remember that you are doing the most important thing in the world - you are growing a new life, and that is wonderful!
