3 tips to feeling good during pregnancy:
1.Don’t beat yourself up over your changing body. This is suppose to happen, instead make an effort to be as healthy and mindful as you can. Know that these changes are bringing forth a beautiful life to this world. Take pride in this body!
2. Don’t over indulge or over eat. I know the saying goes “you’re eating for two” but that’s not true. Focus on giving your growing baby nutrient and mineral rich foods. Your baby will absorb most of your the nutrients you give him or her, the rest will go to you. Don’t over eat, our stomachs actually shrink during this time making room for our baby so although you feel hungry there isn’t much room 😅. I know that when I over eat or give in I end up with the worst indigestion/heart burn, trust me it ain’t worth it 🙃.
3. Make a small effort to appreciate this body. You’ve been chosen to bring life into this world, you’re a vessel for life. A pregnancy, let alone a stable pregnancy is a blessing that not many us are fortunate to have. Appreciate this moment, the good and the bad. Do your hair once in a while dress up, you’ll only get to be pregnant for the first time once.
