Medication
If you are thinking of taking medication, e.g. for acne, consult your doctor as soon as possible: some medication should be avoided as they may have a harmful effect during your pregnancy.
Nausea
Are you suffering from nausea? Here are a few useful tips.
- Eat several small, light meals, spread out during the day.
- Drink instead of eating snacks between meals.
- Wear comfortable clothes..
- Eat breakfast in bed. Get up gently in the morning.
Tip
Practical advice: tell your family and friends that your due date is two weeks later than the actual date. That way, you won't be inundated with phone calls if you give birth a bit later.
Brush your teeth
Brush your teeth regularly with a soft toothbrush. Your gums will be more sensitive during pregnancy and more likely to bleed. Ask your dentist to clean and polish your teeth. |

Snoring
It is very probable that you may start snoring while you are pregnant. Your body contains more liquid and your vessels are better irrigated. The nasal mucous membrane thickens, thus causing snoring.
Sexuality and pregnancy
Sexual intercourse is not at all forbidden during pregnancy. However, during or after an orgasm, you may experience an uncomfortable feeling in your lower abdomen. Experts believe this is due to the tension in the ligaments of the uterus or the uterus itself. In any case, there is no need to worry, and not all women suffer from this problem.
Choosing a name
Your child has the right to have the prettiest first name in the world. Luckily, there are currently numerous websites dedicated to this subject.
Advice: take a look at the credits for films and TV programmes. You can sometimes find some very original first names.
Have you got a cold?
Have you got a cold or the flu? Don’t panic. Your child will not be affected. The placenta prevents the virus from getting through. However, if you have a temperature, it is possible that the baby will feel the effects.
Don’t hesitate to consult your doctor. |
