Most expecting moms are
anxious about child birth and labor pain and it is more in case of first
timers. Though normal delivery is little painful, it is the best way for
delivery as it is natural. A C-section can be avoided with proper diet and exercise.
All moms wish is to give birth to a healthy baby through the natural
way. Here are few tips that help you have a happy pregnancy and a normal
delivery.
1) Choose the
right doctor: First step is to choose the right doctor for your
pregnancy checkups and delivery. Make sure that you are able to connect with
your doctor easily and ask her questions and doubts you feel like asking
without any hesitation. There are many good reputed doctors who barely spend
time with patients to answer their questions, please don't go for such doctors.
Though they might have good reputation, they might not be suitable for you if
they are very busy to speak to you for more than 5 minutes or so. It is sad
that some doctors might push you for C-section for their convenience. So to
choose your doctor, check for the number of normal delivery done by him or her.
Talk to the doctor about his or her view on normal delivery. If you feel the
doctor is good and cooperates for your expectations on normal delivery then
continue your consultations with him or her, otherwise change your doctor.
2) Follow
doctor’s Advice: Weight gain is a natural process during pregnancy. If
you are overweight then there is a limit on your weight gain in order to
deliver a healthy baby in a healthy way. Your doctor would initially check on
your Body mass index (BMI) and suggest you a diet plan. Usually women with
lower BMI are allowed to put on weight from 12 to 15 kg, Women with normal BMI
are allowed to put on weight from 10 to 12 kg and women with higher BMI are
allowed to put on weight from 7 to 9 kg during your entire pregnancy cycle.
Strictly follow your doctor’s diet plan.
3) Eat lots of
Greens: Anything that is edible and green in color is a rich source of
Iron. During pregnancy loads of Iron is required for your baby’s growth and for
yourself. Fill your stomach with lots of green veggies. Make sure you eat
at-least one greenly vegetable every day. Some of the veggies good for
pregnancy are beans, spinach, capsicum, cucumber, cauliflower, broccoli,
peas, and cabbage.
4) Consume lots
of fruits and Stay Hydrated: It is important for you to stay hydrated
during pregnancy. Drink water every 2 hours once. Eat fruits like Orange,
Pomegranate, apple, pear, guava and all other fruits which are rich in vitamins
and iron.
5) Avoid
Caffeine and Alcohol: Excessive consumption of caffeine and alcohol
is not good for the baby’s growth. Stay away from coffee, cigar and Alcohol during
pregnancy.
6) Go for
prenatal Classes: Go for prenatal classes, In prenatal Classes they
teach you how to handle complications that might occur during pregnancy and
also they will teach you few exercises that you can practice for normal and
less painful delivery.
7) Exercise and
Walk: After completing 12 weeks (3 months) of pregnancy, it is mandatory
to walk every day for minimum 30 minutes. Walking relaxes and loosens the
muscles near your lower abdomen and legs which greatly helps you to push the
baby during normal delivery. You can also do mild yoga if properly trained and
learnt from yoga professional.
Stay Stress free and All
the Best for your Delivery.
