The next step is to choose a good gynecologist who will be your friend and guide throughout this journey.
A good gynecologist has a very vital role in making your journey safe and confident.
Your gynecologist can effectively guide you on what to do, what not to do, how to do it, and when to do it.
So, choose this one wisely so that you may have a very beautiful journey ahead.
4) Regular antenatal check-ups & follow-ups
Never miss antenatal check-ups and follow-ups with your gynecologist.
This may harm the development of your baby which could lead to serious complications sometime.
Always have a plan according to the schedule given by your gynecologist and follow his/her advice strictly.
5) Never ignore any small negative signs
Many of us commonly tend to ignore small or minor health signs or symptoms, thinking that a simple fever couldn’t be typhoid or malaria.
Yes, this thinking may be true in many cases, but it shouldn’t be applied during pregnancy.
As this period is very sensitive, even minor signs may indicate a major complication.
Always have a look at anything that may feel wrong to you and immediately consult with your doctor.
6) Be conscious about proper nutrition
During pregnancy period give much more importance to your nutrition.
Nutrition plays a crucial role in both the healthy journey and the development of a baby.
Lack of good nutrition may affect both the mother and baby.
So plan your daily meal full of combinations from fruits to vegetables, egg to meat with other required food supplements.
7) Have the ultimate goal for safe delivery
There are many controversies about normal and c-section delivery.
Which is safe and which is beneficial, much information is available on it.
Never get biased on these facts. Like every coin has two sides, every process has some positive and some negative sides.
But your ultimate goal must be the safety of both.
For that never panic or stick to any specific social stigma, always be prepared for the situational option which would be right for both of you.
Final message to a Mother
The pregnancy journey is a complicated and tough process, yet it’s a beautiful process nurtured by nature.
Give your best to make it beautiful in every aspect.
