The pregnancy should be a pleasant stage in a woman's life. Considering taking a break from the hectic life we lead when we have decided to have a child is very favorable and beneficial for the health of the mother and her baby.
In fact, of all the recent moms I know, including myself, those who say they have never felt as good as when they were pregnant are the ones who have taken care of themselves and have had a calm pregnancy on a mental and emotional level.
Without a doubt, pregnancy is a unique stage in which health takes on a special importance. So, The best advice you will receive if you are pregnant is this: Take care of yourself in pregnancy more than ever!
Making the decision to have a baby and, above all, knowing that you are pregnant is a powerful reason to take even more care of yourself. During my pregnancy, I paid special attention to eating by trying to make a varied and balanced diet that includes at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, approximately 400 grams a day, always accompanied by proteins in the form of meat or fish, carbohydrates rich in fiber such as rice and whole wheat pasta, plenty of fluids and only good fats. I rested as much as I could and spent all my free time reading and learning to be prepared for the delivery and the arrival of my baby.
It is true that I felt better than ever, because during that stage I also took care of myself more than ever. And it seems that when you have to take care of another person who depends on you, the cause becomes bigger and more important. In this sense, the numerous studies that are linking stress in pregnancy with the affectation of various pathologies call my attention.
Maternal anxiety during pregnancy is a risk factor for the development of atopic eczema through 6-8 months. This is one of the conclusions reached by a study that has been made public at the world's leading congress on allergy and immunology: the EAACI 2012 Congress.
Maternal stress during pregnancy also increases the baby's risk of ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity) during his childhood. The reason is that fetal brain development goes through specific periods that make it more vulnerable to maternal anxiety and the risk of suffering from attention deficit, hyperactivity and impulsivity, and behavioral problems during childhood and adolescence.
Therefore, it is worth taking pregnancy as a special stage of life. Each pregnancy must be taken as unique, considered as a long-term investment and carefully cared for. A life is in formation within you, a treasure that is your son must have the best health conditions to get ahead and no one better than you, his mother, to provide them.
