Below, we'll offer a few suggestions that will make your second and third trimesters more comfortable. You'll learn how the right shoes, clothes, undergarments, and diet can play major roles in helping you enjoy this special time in your life. Invest In The Right Shoes As your feet go, so goes your mood. During your pregnancy, your feet may expand. Many women even experience an increase in their shoe size. This is due to water retention and the release of relaxin, a hormone that relaxes your ligaments. Meanwhile, as your feet begin to outgrow your shoes, extra weight is being placed upon them. This can quickly cause discomfort for your entire body. Invest is flats and low-heeled shoes to relieve pressure on your back. Not only will they provide more comfort, but as your balance changes, you'll be less likely to stumble and take a dangerous fall. Clothes That Fit Your Body You can probably continue wearing your pre-pregnancy clothes throughout the beginning your first trimester. However, by week number ten or eleven, they'll begin to feel a little too snug around your body. That's a sign you're ready for maternity clothes. Many moms-to-be avoid transitioning to maternity wear for a number of reasons, including cost and vanity. While some designers arguably charge a high price, a lot of maternity clothes are reasonably priced to fit most budgets. What's more, the unfashionable tops and bottoms of yesteryear have been replaced by stylish clothes that combine playfulness with a dash of sophistication. When you feel your clothes becoming tight, treat your body to maternity wear that offers a more comfortable fit. Maternity Bras And Undergarments Your breasts will grow during your pregnancy, a situation that offers benefits and drawbacks. While you'll relish your new curves, you might also experience back pain if your bras offer insufficient support. Invest in maternity bras that provide the support your body needs in order for you to feel comfortable. While you're shopping, consider buying panties that are designed to accommodate your lower half. Far from the unflattering pregnancy undies of old, today's designers have created lingerie that will complement your figure and lift your mood. A Diet To Help Curb The Morning Blues Morning sickness is practically inescapable. Most women suffer some level of nausea during their pregnancy. For some, the chronic queasiness appears during the first trimester and turns into an unwelcome guest for the duration. First, if the nausea is particularly severe, ask your obstetrician to suggest a few foods that can lessen the effects. For example, crackers can help reduce the severity of motion sickness because the taste is relatively bland. Also, try citrusy fruits, such as oranges or grated lemons. Some moms-to-be find lightly-salted potato chips provide relief. Treating Your Skin With Care Use lotion and sunscreen liberally to protect your skin from the elements. Doing so will prevent dryness and itchiness, which can quickly become frustrating while you're pregnant. Also, if you have the time, consider making an appointment at a day spa. A pedicure, facial, and massage can do wonders for your comfort and your mood. Pregnancy is a special time during which you'll marvel at the life growing inside you. It's also a time of challenges as your body expands to accommodate your baby. Use the suggestions above to stay as comfortable as possible while waiting for your little one to finally arrive.
