What happens to you?

Your thyroid gland, as well as the other organs, become more active. Due to its increased function, the temperature of your body becomes higher. It’s normal to feel inflows of hot waves and to sweat more than usual.

Sweating is your body’s natural way to release the toxins generated by your own body and the body of your baby.

If you are pregnant during the summer, you will feel inconvenience. To relieve such discomfort, take a rest at a pleasant and cool place. If you are pregnant during the winter, do not go too far with the number of warm clothes.

This week you should ...

emphasize on orange and red – No, we are not intervening in your wardrobe. We speak about fruit and vegetables. The orange and red fruit and vegetables contain a great amount of vitamin A. You need to supply it for your baby, as this vitamin plays an important role for the development of his/her hearing and sight. So, eat carrots and tomatoes, oranges and tangerines more frequently.

activate your body – Continue moving, practice sport whenever you feel well. Except yoga for pregnant women, you can try swimming. The studies carried out by US pediatricians prove that mothers who actively move during their pregnancy help for the development of the placenta thus ensuring more nutrition substances for their baby.

give up soft drinks – Probably, you do not use them anymore, but it is important for us to remind you. When you are thirsty, better drink a glass of water. If you want something sweet and something that has taste, it is preferable to choose 100% natural fruit juice.
