The basics about being a new mother and more

Pregnancy can be overwhelming and can freak people out, to say the least. And no matter how much you prepare, you can never be ready for what’s to come. It's only natural to be a little scared and clueless about this new journey. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do your homework to become the best mom that you can be.


With these tricks and tips, you can at least cover the base and be a little relieved. You should expect the unexpected and not panic when that happens. Like you should probably know that you’ll poop during labor. Yes! it's very disgusting and very common too. So, no need to feel weirded out, it’s a natural part of the process. Everything is going to change and that includes your clothing style.  Don’t think that you can wear your sexy lingerie once that bump is gone. As the matter of fact is you won’t even want to. 


Say hello to mesh underwear which is basically cozy and comfortable to wear after giving birth. You need something airy and breathable and they are perfect. Before you start what you will have to do after your baby comes, you should also think about what’s important before it comes. Your prenatal health should be your topmost priority to ensure that the baby comes out healthy and glowing. You must have heard almost everyone saying to eat healthily and have a balanced diet. But what specifically is a key part of the prenatal phase are the vitamins and minerals which will actually nourish the baby. Vitamins such as vitamin D is vital for any mother to be.


 Sunlight is essential for all of us but more so for pregnant ladies. So, remember to get in the sun and get lots of vitamin D. Moreover, iron is another essential mineral during pregnancy as the fetus requires iron to grow and uses up all iron stored up in the mother’s body. Soiron rich foods like spinach, beef, meat should all be a part of your daily diet. Expectant mothers are also recommended vitamins such as vitamin A and zinc-rich foods which include oysters, lobster, beans, and meat. These all are the key prenatal vitamins that should be consumed without fail. 


You may be thinking that rest is all you need during pregnancy, but that may not entirely be true. Exercise is equally important to keep your muscles active during this time and lessen recovery time after birth. It is going to come as a benefit to you to know beforehand that sleeping is going to get a bit difficult, you may experience shortness of breath, discomfort, and increased heart rate. So work out a plan to relax before bedtime and avoid any sweet things and caffeine and it should help considerably. While you may still struggle with this herculean task of becoming a mom, these little hacks can take you a long way.
