5 Pregnancy Preparations are Rarely Done

Do It in Preparing for Pregnancy

Some steps pregnancy preparations related to diet and some routine checks are often done. However, the things below are often forgotten by couples in preparing for pregnancy:

  • Stop buying clothes

Tantalizing discounts make young mothers sometimes forget that she is planning a pregnancy. The result of buying clothes is often done. Yet as we know that during pregnancy, the female body will experience more rapid growth than ever before. Clothes purchased before pregnancy will certainly not be able to accommodate the body while pregnant later.

If you still want to shop, it is advisable to buy shoes, bags, or other accessories shopping for clothes because they tend to be used when pregnant or after having children.

  • Vaccinate

There are various types of infections that can harm the fetus if you are pregnant later. Consult your obstetrician whether you need additional protection against the infection. One of the infections to watch out for is rubella or German measles. If necessary, your doctor may advise you to vaccinate. Rubella vaccination (MMR vaccine) is only recommended for women who are not pregnant and can only be done at least a month before pregnancy arrives.

Know also some infections that potentially harm you during pregnancy later. Be sure to consult how to reduce risk, prevent, and cope with it. Some of the infections that must be known are cytomegalovirus (CMV) and toxoplasma.

  • Visiting a dentist

Hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy can make pregnant women vulnerable to dental and gum disease. However, it is rare to involve a dentist during pregnancy preparation, whereas dental hygiene will also have an impact on maternal health later in pregnancy. The rise in progesterone and estrogen during pregnancy may cause gums react to bacteria that collect in dental plaque. This can lead to the easy occurrence of gum inflammation and swollen gums, making it more prone to bleeding when brushing your teeth.

  • Move home as soon as possible

Are you planning a pregnancy together with a plan to move into your own house? Try to move home before going through pregnancy. New homes may make pregnant women more comfortable psychologically, in the course of pregnancy. In addition, taking care of moving shelter will be more troublesome when done while the wife is pregnant.

By moving into your own home, it does allow babies to get separate rooms. However, it does not mean that a separate sleeping baby is a better choice than sleeping with parents. Indeed, by having your own room the baby tends to sleep longer, but actually the most recommended is a separate crib, but still in the same bedroom with parents.

Fitness also affects the preparation of one's pregnancy. Your doctor will determine the fitness program that suits you best. Usually the recommended program is a light exercise program, such as walking, cycling, or weight training. The exercise is recommended to be done for 30 minutes every day. Flexibility or flexibility of the body also needs to be considered by women who are planning a pregnancy. For that, physical activity in the form of stretching or yoga is recommended to improve this. This fitness program can also be done when women undergo pregnancy. Of course you need to involve your doctor to ensure safety.

Even though these five things are rarely done during pregnancy preparation, that does not mean that you do not need to be considered. Consult your obstetrician to find out what you should prepare when planning a pregnancy.
