The first weeks of pregnancy - what can you do that you can not?

The waiting period for the child imposes certain bans and restrictions on the way of life of the future mother.

Of course, all the tips and recommendations on what can and can not be done in the first week of pregnancy are very relative. The waiting period of the child starts from the first day of the last menstrual bleeding, when the fertilization of the egg has not even occurred. In fact, the expectant mother at this time is not yet pregnant and can do whatever she likes.

In addition, virtually all gynecologists agree that the harmful and useful substances that enter the body do not affect the fetus until it attaches to the walls of the uterus. That's why you can adjust your way of life and a little later. Nevertheless, if you want your baby to be born completely healthy, and the pregnancy proceeded calmly and easily, it is worthwhile to take care of the question of what can and can not be done while the child is waiting, long before its onset.

Excessive use of alcohol by a future mother often leads to the birth of babies with numerous developmental malformations. The nervous system of crumbs is especially often affected.
3. Caffeine in the first weeks can trigger a miscarriage. Limit coffee consumption to 150 ml per day.
4. A little adjust the diet, giving up too sweet, salty and spicy food, fast food and carbonated drinks. Avoid some varieties of fish, namely: tuna, mackerel and swordfish.
5. Try not to change the cat's toilet yourself. During this action, there is a very high likelihood of contracting toxoplasmosis. If this infection gets into the organism of a future mother, at the very beginning of pregnancy, miscarriage often occurs. If the child can be saved, it is almost always born with certain malformations and, in particular, the brain.
6. In addition, to provoke miscarriages can excessive physical load or overheating of the body. Try not to engage in too active sports, do not lift too heavy objects, and also refuse to visit the sauna or bath.
