Congratulations on your Pregnancy!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your body will go through many changes as pregnancy has its way with you. But the biggest change will be the slow and beautiful transformation of your mental state of mind from a woman to a mother.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The only time you will feel blessed when someone kicks you is when your baby kicks inside your tummy during your pregnancy and also the only time in life when you\u2019ll fall in love with someone you haven\u2019t met YET!<\/span><\/p>\n

Congratulations again and you\u2019ll have your arms around your little one before you know it!<\/span><\/p>\n

Tips to Know during Pregnancy:<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Avoid Certain Exercises<\/h3>\n

Avoid certain exercises which could potentially reduce the oxygen supply to your baby. Scuba diving, mountain climbing, travelling to low altitude areas are all risky and \u00a0are best avoided from now until after you deliver your baby.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Be Careful What You Eat<\/h3>\n

Become familiar with foods which could cause you or your baby to become sick. \u00a0Listeria is a food-borne illness that is very risky to pregnant women and their babies. \u00a0Foods you need to avoid eating include undercooked eggs and meat, raw seafood and \u00a0sushi, ready-made salads and cold meats. Raw meat is also dangerous and you’ll need \u00a0to be very careful. Just remember, everything in moderation!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Write a Letter<\/h3>\n

Think about writing a letter to your baby. Although this may sound silly, it is something you’ll both look back on in the years to come. This is an exciting time and although it seems like it will last forever, you will be surprised by how quickly it goes.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Be Careful what you Use to Look Good during Pregnancy<\/h3>\n

Still look good during your pregnancy. Look at the labels – acne cream and anti-wrinkle products are important in any beauty regime. However, do take note as many of these products may contain potentially harmful chemicals like acutane and salicylic acid. \u00a0Natural oils containing Vitamin E and Omega 3, 6, and 9 are practically unsurpassed in \u00a0helping the skin to maintain its elasticity, which can prevent stretch marks and \u00a0wrinkles, without any of the potentially dangerous side effects. Also, it is very common \u00a0for pregnancy mummies to develop dark spots on their skin (thanks to hormonal \u00a0changes!) Unfortunately, direct exposure to sunlight can trigger it, or exacerbate \u00a0existing spots. If you have to be in the sun, be sure to wear a large brim hat, and be \u00a0generous with your SPF cream.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Know your Maternity Leave Policy<\/h3>\n

Know your company’s maternity leave policy and pregnancy coverage beforehand. Reassure that you’ll be on top of things while you are pregnant until you leave. Are you covered for any unexpected events? Any baby bonus or incentive from your company? How long do you need to help train whoever taking over your responsibilities?<\/span><\/p>\n
