The worst mistake that a pregnant woman can make is be deprived of sleep. You are carrying a life inside you and it completely depends on you for its survival. The best way to ensure that you both coexist peacefully is to rest adequately. Resting entails quantity and quality sleep. 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night in a comfortable bed and matters will go a long way in helping you manage aches and pains such as back pain, headaches and exhaustion.

Regular relaxing massages

Since you are carrying a growing life, your body is literally expanding daily. This takes a toll on the bones and muscles hence the need for a massage. Since your body is exhausted you will tend to have back aches, headaches, and some strain on your legs and hips and even the neck. The best way to deal with this is by a regular massage by a professional who know that is comforting and relaxing for an expectant woman. A massage at least once a week will go a long way in helping you enjoy your pregnancy.

Drink enough water

When you are pregnant you are not only drinking water for yourself but also need more to sustain the baby. This is why most expectant women battle constipation when they don’t drink enough water. Drinking at least 2 litres of water a day will help make your pregnancy experience more enjoyable. The more you can drink and still be comfortable the better. In fact most doctors prefer that pregnant women avoid tea, juices, and soda and solely drink water. Additionally water also helps your skin cope with how much it has to stretch in order to accommodate the baby and weight gain that comes with pregnancy.

Exercise regularly

The common notion that it is unsafe for an expectant mother to work out is a big misconception. It is vital that a pregnant woman does not have a sedentary lifestyle but instead exercises regularly or moves around to keep the body active. Before exercising, it important to seek medical advice. Women with a difficult or problematic pregnancy cannot exercise heavily or regularly. However if your pregnancy is perfectly normal you can try out pregnant yoga classes and any other exercises that are specifically designed for expectant mothers.

Healthy diet

You cannot deny yourself food when pregnant so you have to eat but eat healthily. Instead of junk and processed food you need natural and nutritious. This means vegetables, fruits, healthy nuts and natural carbohydrates.
