Who says pregnant women can’t have good
shape?
When pregnant, your body will be obviously
fat and heavy. You must wonder if it’s possible for women to stay in shape
during pregnancy.
If you’re too fat, you’ll have to face with
lots of health issues, such as diabetes and hypertension. Most obese pregnant
women need to have caesarean and their fetuses tend to have earlier birth than
usual.
However, gaining weight in pregnancy is a
must and you cannot be on diet in this period of time. Instead of that, you
should do exercises that can help to firm your body and are safe to
fetuses.

pool. According to researchers, people who often swim in cold pools have more
appetites than people who swim in warm pools.

Sleeping
Don’t jump to the idea that sleeping all
day can bring you good shape. Sleeping means you don’t let yourself be lack of
sleep in too long a time.
Lacking sleep will make you gain weight. It
also makes the body produce fewer hormones and be more fatigued. To pregnant
women, sleeps are very important so they should spend more time sleeping to
protect health.
Healthy regimen
You don’t need to be in strict diet. What
you need is to eat healthy and nutritious foods regularly. Limit eating
processed foods as well as possible. There’ll be some points of time that you
want to eat them so much but don’t use pregnancy as an excuse to help you eat
the food.
Continue using foods that are rich in
calorie, protein, fat, vitamin and other nutrients. Limit eating foods that
contain saturated fat and fried foods.
Remember at the time, you can’t have normal
activities as you did before pregnancy, so the calories that are absorbed to
the body can hardly be burned as you want. Don’t forget doctor’s advice which
is the most important thing that helps pregnant women stay in shape.
