Winter Pregnancy

Cold, ice, clothing, restraining movement, the risk of getting sick with flu or ARI, the danger of slipping and falling.

What should the future mum need to know in order to approach the birth without any health problems?

Dress should be multi-layered. Things should be natural: from cotton or wool. In frosty windy days down jackets are comfortable, they, unlike fur coats and sheepskin coats, are light and warm.

Shoes - leather, free, allowing legs to "breathe", on a stable, non-slippery sole. Fur in shoes must be natural. Shoes should be discarded on high heels and on a platform. It is better to go outside not alone, but with an attendant. If the fall can not be avoided, it is necessary to visit the doctor, even if there are no visible consequences.

Against the background of pregnancy, immunity is also lowered without winter colds. How to resist a possible infection?

Washing your hands - this "trifle" can save you from many troubles. Suffice it to recall how many times a day a person touches a person, and how often - non-sterile (to put it mildly) items at work and at home ?!

If someone is sick in the house, you need to wear a gauze bandage.

Before going out to the street to lubricate with oxolin ointment mucous of the nose, this will reduce the risk of infection. Avoid contact with the sick: less frequent use of public transport, do not visit places of congestion.

There are effective folk remedies. Tea with lemon, honey, broths of dogrose and eleutherococcus, onions with garlic. All these are excellent, safe means for strengthening immunity.

If the virus could not be avoided, one should not panic, but self-medication is also impossible. Pregnant is contraindicated to take a hot bath or soar your legs. At a high temperature, it is mandatory to call a doctor at home, this temperature should not be tolerated on legs.

Winter does not need any special diet, but there are some important nuances.

In the diet must necessarily be porridge, preferably from unrefined cereals. Cereals are a source of energy. Of bread is preferable to black or dietary.

Proteins need animals - meat (lean), cottage cheese, eggs, cheese, and vegetable - nuts, wheat bran, beans, etc. Necessary in the menu and fish.

Be sure to eat vegetables, fruits, fresh juices. If there is a tendency to allergies, you do not need to abuse exotic fruits. Dried fruits are an ideal source of vitamins, especially dried apricots, which are vital in this period to your body.
