ost people think that morning sickness is the first sign of your body telling you, you’re pregnant. Some also think it is something that everyone experiences and that it only happens in the morning. Sadly, for those unlucky ones, the dismay of morning sickness can strike at any time of day.
While many will tell you that there is nothing you can do about it, even doctors will tell you this. I disagree. Your body is telling you many things when you’re pregnant, and the body knows exactly what it needs to do. It draws nutrients from the woman’s body to deliver to the baby, even at the expense of causing the woman to fill ill. After all, the baby is what matters now. So, when you’re pregnant and experiencing morning sickness, your body is telling you that you are lacking some nutrients, the body is not balanced, and you should look into your diet. This is the same with cravings, too. If you have crazy cravings, that is your body telling you what you need. It’s very simple.
Pregnancy is a time when one should look at their diet and eat the best they possibly can. Pregnancy is rough and it can take a toll on your body if you are not prepared for the 9-months ahead. A few tips to help you out if you find yourself praying to the porcelain throne.
- Stay hydrated, best to drink water, the purest kind you can find. I suggest getting yourself a Zero Water Filter.
- Don’t go too long without eating.
- Make sure your diet is balanced. You need to get your fruits and veggies and your protein.
- Take a Prenatal Vitamin, daily.
- Take Vitamin D, most people are deficient in Vitamin D, and being so can cause a whole mess of problems with the body.
- Stay active! The first trimester will have you incredibly fatigued but still try to get walks in and keep moving.
The best you can do for yourself and your baby is listen to your body. Don’t be afraid to gain weight. You need to for the baby and if you’re eating healthy, you will only gain what is necessary. Know that your body is doing something amazing, it’s making a new life, and trust that your body knows what to do. Enjoy this time, it goes by fast.
