Most of the time this doesn't happen by accident, people usually want to share their experiences and talk about what worked or didn't work during their pregnancy. The fact is that sometimes all this is welcome, but in some situations it ends up stressing the mother even more, who due to pregnancy already has altered hormones.
People will approach, talk and especially want to touch your belly. Psychologists claim that even if unconsciously society sees the pregnant woman as a kind of "saint" and then touching her belly is like touching a deity. But, on the contrary, it is much more likely that during pregnancy a woman has a nervous breakdown, rather than performing a miracle. So if people can't see a limit, you need to impose it yourself.
At some point, someone will show up to tell you a sad story about your cousin's friend's baby who passed away, or that you'll never get a full night's sleep again, even because your husband doesn't help at all, or even that advice for you to repeat the ultrasound, because your belly is too small or extremely large. Anyway, you can bet, you will receive a flood of information, sometimes useful, but a lot of it will not make any sense, even more so for your lifestyle.
The most important of all is to do the prenatal correctly and listen to your doctor's instructions first and, secondly, use your feeling which will become even more refined during the nine months. That way, you'll know when someone wants to help you or just throb and make you more nervous. If the hunch doesn't make any sense, let it go in one ear and out the other. If the person insists, politely reply that you have already resolved this issue and change the subject.
5 myths about pregnancy
Sex during pregnancy harms the baby
Without that, mom, sex can and can a lot! Gender does not affect the baby as it is involved in the placenta. In addition to increasing blood flow in the pelvis area and increasing fetal oxygenation, the endorphins produced in orgasm bring a feeling of well-being and help in the preparation of childbirth. There is only contraindication if the doctor finds any risk in pregnancy.
Fasting reduces nausea
On the contrary, fasting for many hours increases nausea. To reduce this sensation, it is advisable to eat at shorter intervals, but in smaller amounts.
Pregnant woman should eat for two
Negative! A woman should be concerned about eating healthy and increasing a maximum of 300 calories a day. Thus, it ensures a healthy pregnancy without excessive weight gain.
Heartburn is a sign of a hairy baby
This story has neither foot nor head. Heartburn occurs as the uterus presses on the stomach, causing acid reflux. What will determine whether the baby will have too much or too little hair is genetics.
Physical exercise speeds up labor
Never! Practicing physical exercise with the help of a professional is good for health at any stage of life.
