Ways To Make Your Pregnancy A Better One- By: Badrul Awang

Description : Ways To Make Your Pregnancy A Better One.

There is nothing more exciting than when you're expecting a baby, but it can be equally frightening because you have so many questions about pregnancy. This compilation of tips will answer some of these questions that you have and you will be able to incorporate them into your life, right away.

Be safe while riding in the car. As always, wear a seatbelt when you are in a vehicle. Place the shoulder strap over the clavicle and the lap portion under your abdomen. Never put the lap portion over you abdomen. Sit in the back seat or slide your seat back so you are as far from the airbag as possible.

Not smoking while you are pregnant is very important. The reason is simple: as you smoke, your baby is exposed to dangerous chemicals which can minimize your child's oxygen flow. Oxygen is critical in order to help your baby grow healthy. Please don't risk the healthy development of your baby just to smoke.

If you are pregnant and you already have one or more children, include them in your experience as much as possible. Show them pictures of a developing baby and track the progress of your pregnancy together. Most children love the prospect of a new baby in the home, and this will help smooth the way for little ones who might feel jealous of the new arrival.

While pregnant, come up with two or three birth plans instead of imagining and creating just one. As much as you think you can imagine the birth of your baby, if you rely on just one birth plan and think it will all go your way, you will be rather disappointed if something has to change due to complications or other factors. Expecting the unexpected is highly recommended.

When riding in a car that has air bags, have the seat pushed back as far as possible from the dashboard. The closer you are to the dash, the closer you are to the airbags. Airbags can be dangerous to an unborn baby, though turning them off is more dangerous to you, so simply sit further away to balance these risks.

Consider taking a child birthing class with your partner or a friend, like a Lamaze class. Taking a class will help ready you for your child's birth and teach you techniques to help alleviate pain and help you relax while you are in labor. It also teaches your partner to assist you they best they can.

People, in general, want what is best for you and your baby! In an effort to help you, some well-meaning people may offer you unwelcome advice regarding your pregnancy. You may feel like they are "policing" your moves. Do not be afraid to gently inform them of your obstetrician or midwife's advice regarding any long-standing "no-no's" during pregnancy. Remember, they only want what is best for you and your baby, and may not be up-to-date with the latest suggestions!

Now that you have a deeper knowledge on the subject of pregnancy, you can relax a little bit and enjoy it. Bask in the glow of it all and then use what you have learned here to take good care of yourself and give birth to a happy, healthy baby.
