Myths about Pregnancy
There are plenty of myths abound in pregnancy. One of the most common
myths is that pregnant women should eat for two. It is a false myth since
carrying a baby requires only 300 extra calories a day. Just food is also
considered harmful during pregnancy which is not completely true. Junk food is
not good for overall health but it doesn't pose any extra harm during
pregnancy. On the contrary, a pregnant women can try a little of junk food to
satisfy her cravings. Another myth stops pregnant women from working at all.
Though a pregnant woman should avoid lifting too much heavy weights, she can
easily complete all her daily chores. It is good for her health to stay active
and perform some simple physical activities. Watch the video to know more on
this. Taking care of yourself will make you feel good while pregnant. Diet is a
major factor in keeping your health perfect. Also, both the mother and father
should get a thorough check up for weight and other chronic diseases as they
can affect the health of the baby. Pre-pregnancy vitamins and supplements such
as folic acid and calcium are essential.
Folic acid reduces neural tube
defects. Early pregnancy symptoms and precautions such as bleeding, pain in the
stomach must be taken care of, and should be checked when serious
