How care pregnant women;Congratulations! You’re pregnant. That’s a big deal. But now that you’re expecting, it’s also time to start taking care of yourself. Pregnant women need to make sure they get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, and avoid risky behaviors like smoking or drinking alcohol. It’s important to keep all your prenatal appointments with your health care provider so he or she can monitor your baby’s progress and give you the best advice based on your individual needs.

How care pregnant women

understand how the body changes with pregnancy

Care for yourself

Eat right. You’ll need to take in more nutrients than before pregnancy and avoid certain foods that could cause problems.
Don’t smoke or drink alcohol during pregnancy, as both can hurt the fetus. If you do smoke, talk to your doctor about ways to stop. Alcohol isn’t recommended at all during pregnancy because it can lead to birth defects and developmental problems in infants.
Get plenty of rest and avoid stressful situations whenever possible. This will help keep your body healthy as well as allow you to get good sleep for yourself and baby at night!

Take a prenatal vitamin before you become pregnant.

Taking a prenatal vitaminbefore you become pregnant is the first step toward a healthy pregnancy. Prenatal vitamins contain folic acid, which helps prevent birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. They also provide essential nutrients for your growing baby, including iron and calcium.

It’s important to take a good prenatal vitamin every day before you get pregnant as well as during your first trimester—the first three months of pregnancy—to make sure that both you and your baby are getting enough nutrients from food (especially if you’re not planning on eating much).

If you haven’t started taking prenatal vitamins yet or if it’s been many years since your last child was born, talk with your doctor about how long it will take for any deficiencies in these areas to be corrected naturally through diet alone.

Watch your weight gain.

Gain weight slowly and steadily.
Do not gain more than the recommended amount of weight.
Don’t gain too much weight.
Don’t gain too little weight.
Don’t gain too quickly or too slowly

Exercise is good for you and your baby.

As a mom-to-be, you may be feeling overwhelmed by the number of things you have to do. But don’t forget that exercise is one of them. Exercise can help you sleep better, feel better and have a healthier pregnancy and labor.

Here are some reasons why it’s important for pregnant women to stay active:

It helps reduce stress. Staying active can help keep your mind off things that might be stressing you out, like finding out whether your baby is going to need tonsil surgery or whether or not your partner will be able to get home from work in time for dinner or if he’s having an affair with his secretary (just kidding).
It improves energy levels during pregnancy. If you exercise regularly before getting pregnant, then chances are good that you’ll find yourself with more energy than ever once those little bundles of joy arrive on the scene! (Of course there will still be times when they’re teething and crying all night—but at least it won’t affect how much exercise they’ll allow themselves.)

Watch out for high temperatures.

High temperature is a sign of infection.
Symptoms of infection include:
pain in your lower back, pelvis or abdomen
fever with chills and shivering
sore throat or cough (with or without yellow mucus)
To treat a fever: Take acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) to reduce the fever and relieve pain and discomfort. Do not take aspirin during pregnancy because it may cause bleeding problems in your baby. If you are unable to reach your doctor right away, call 911 immediately if you have any warning signs of preterm labor, such as contractions that seem regular but do not get closer together or stronger over time or are accompanied by pain in your lower back or belly that gets worse instead of better after about 20 minutes; if you have sudden stomach pains; if you feel like something is coming out of your vagina;if the fluid leaking from your vagina becomes bloody;if there is blood in urine;or if bright red blood stains the underwear when standing up after urinating (the amount needed for this test will be about one teaspoon).

Unwind and get enough sleep.

Sleep is important for your health, and it’s even more so for your baby’s. The amount and quality of sleep you get while pregnant can have a significant impact on your health, mood and overall well-being. Getting enough rest allows you to feel rested when you wake up each morning, making it easier to start the day off right.

Being pregnant is stressful enough; don’t make things worse by not getting enough sleep! Sleep helps lower stress levels and boosts the immune system, which helps protect both mom and baby from illness during pregnancy. It also allows for increased productivity at work or school—and being more productive means less stress!

Choose a health care provider carefully.

During your pregnancy, you should choose a health care provider who is experienced in treating pregnant women. This person will be able to guide you through the process of pregnancy and labor and delivery, including any necessary tests or treatments. If possible, pick someone who has experience working with mothers who are also mothers themselves. Pregnancy can be stressful enough without having to worry about navigating a new doctor’s office while trying to take care of your family at home.

Keep all prenatal appointments.

It’s important to keep all of your prenatal appointments.
If you miss an appointment, make sure you reschedule. If the doctor’s office is closed or you can’t get through on the phone, try calling back later in the week (or even next week). If it’s not possible to reschedule right away and if it’s urgent that you do so, ask someone else at work or home who might be able to help out.
You may not have another chance to reschedule if you miss an appointment because once they’re gone they’re gone; most doctors’ offices won’t give people any special treatment just because they are pregnant.

Pregnant women need to take good care of themselves in order to give birth to a healthy baby

Stay healthy and prepare for childbirth by eating well, exercising, getting enough sleep and keeping a healthy weight. Also make sure that you have a good prenatal care provider who will monitor your health during pregnancy.

Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
Make sure to get plenty of exercise. If you don’t already exercise regularly, start an exercise program now that fits into your lifestyle and includes walking or swimming for about thirty minutes three times a week.
Get enough rest each night by going to bed at the same time each night so that you can wake up refreshed in the morning. You should also nap if possible when baby gets fussy because it helps keep him happy while also letting mommy catch up on her rest!
Maintain a healthy weight throughout pregnancy by limiting calories intake but not starving yourself as this isn’t good for either one of them (or two). Also make sure not overdo it on junk food because this can cause problems later on down road after giving birth too!
