Tips for pregnant women?

Andigurl

It would be nice to see what other women did throughout their pregnancies to get through them!
Heres ones I've gotten from other women and found out for myself

1. This one I just found out tonite from another mommy to be. Lotion in the fridge. It cools you down and soothes itchy skin

2. Lemon water is a natural diuretic (to relieve fluid retention!)

3. Peppermints help stave off heartburn when you don't have antacids. But always keep your antacids next to your bed when your sleeping with a glass of water.

4. When sending out invites to your baby shower let people know that their name will be entered into a drawing to win a gift card if they use the registery(that way more people will use the registery!)

5. Chewing gum is supposed to help nausea also. And peppermints or peppermint tea.

Any other women have some tips? Any little thing can help. Some women said to snack also in the first trimester because it helps with nausea.

any tips on getting pregnant?

my boyfriend and i have decided we would like to try and get pregnant. i was just wondering if anyone has any legitimate advice, such as diet or vitamins or just any general information on ovulation timing...im open for any advice

Answer
have sex at the time of ovulation which is around day 14 of your menstrual cycle.avoid straddling your partner as this means semen will leak out, and that you place a small pillow under your hips after intercourse. This means your cervix rests in the pool of semen for around 20 minutes and allows the sperm time to swim up through the cervix.Get your body ready for a baby by getting to your optimum weight (speak to your GP to find out what this is) as being over or underweight can affect the regularity of your periods and inhibit ovulation. If you carry too much weight around the stomach it can affect your hormone balance and impair fertility.If you aren't already taking some form of regular exercise - get into the habit now.Regular exercise can increase your chances of becoming pregnant.You should stop smoking and limit your alcohol intake to increase your chances of getting pregnant.Smoking robs the body of essential nutrients for fertility including zinc, selenium, and vitamin C. It increases levels of toxic substances like cadmium and lead in the blood. If you smoke you're more likely to have lower levels of vital fertility hormones and it will take you longer to conceive.take care with over-the counter and prescribed drugs. Avoid ibuprofen; Roaccutane, an anti-acne treatment; certain antibiotics - if you're about to be prescribed these tell your doctor that you're planning a pregnancy; antihistamines, which can interfere with cervical mucus; diuretics which can dry the cervix.Take folic acid supplements at least three months before you even try to conceive to reduce the risk of the baby developing neural tube defects, which leads to conditions such as spina bifida. It's difficult to consume the recommended level of folic acid through food alone which is why taking a single daily supplement of 400ug folic acid is a simple way for women to protect their unborn babies.Men should make sure that their testes are not too hot as this can kill sperm. They should avoid hot baths, tight-fitting underwear and jeans, and using a portable computer balanced on the lap as all these things raise scrotal temperature.take a vitamin E, C and zinc supplement to enhance sperm number and quality, but she believes vitamin supplements are unnecessary for women as long as they are following a healthy balanced diet which is low in fat and has plenty of fruit and vegetables.If you're living a hectic life, deciding to try for a baby should be a cue to slow down. You won't be able to live at such a frantic pace once you're pregnant so put changes in place now.Make sure you eat plenty of protein. Daily portions of meat, poultry, fish and dairy improves egg production. It's best to avoid soya as it has mild contraceptive properties. Caffeine should also be on your banned list - more than one cup of coffee a day can increase the time it takes to conceive by up to 50% - so try switching to herbal teas.should also drink around two litres of water daily, and think about taking a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement. Look for a specially formulated pre-pregnancy supplement. It should contain zinc, which is vital for maintaining a healthy menstrual cycle; and selenium which boosts fertility levels. Try to cut down on flavourings and additives, especially aspartame and monosodium glutamate. Go for fresh meat, fish and vegetables rather than processed ready-meals, and healthy snacks like fruit and nuts rather than chocolate and crisps. Your partner should also drink at least two litres of water a day as semen is largely made up of water. He should also have a healthy diet and take a vitamin and mineral supplement.
