Let's share "saving" secrets and just useful ideas to enjoy the sun and heat! For someone - useful thoughts, and for someone good memories! ;)
The organism of each of us in own way behaves during pregnancy: someone feels inflow of forces and can pull up trees, someone on the contrary – a hand cannot move and is ready to oversleep all 9 months in a row. I had something: with terrible toxicosis the first 3 months and sharp transformations in a hippopotamus in the hot sun (hypostases) in the last trimester. For this reason I want to share with you all what helped me, what was experienced.
Toxicosis. First of all – forget all stereotypes dictated by movies. Pickles do not save from toxicosis and there is no wish for them at all! To eat it is better to begin right after awakening in a bed: few times to bite off drying or a piece of black bread, to lie down 5-10 minutes and to try to rise. Personally since morning nothing helped me, but the dense lunch (and it is possible to have dinner three times, with all colleagues at office in turn) became rescue on all second half of day. My friend had warm tea with a lemon, and it became easier for her. Toxicosis can develop both in the first, and in the third trimester (the second is considered the most stable and quiet period). In "summer" toxicosis, in my opinion, there are pluses – many tasty vegetables and fruit, all green, weather excellent around … You want or not, and the mood is lightened and there is a wish for something tasty … Apples, citruses, juice, cucumbers or cutlets – try everything what is wanted and you will find the "confidential" product! They say that toxicosis can become a symptom of a lack of B6 vitamin, but it is about it better to consult with your personal doctor.
Food and drink during a heat. It is worth being especially careful in the summer: during the hot period the possibility of poisoning with perishable products raises (for example, milk). Once you precisely limit consumption of heavy meat dishes (such, a shish kebab) and to refuse absolutely (do not recommend throughout all pregnancy at all) semi-finished products, sharp, fried, salty … Only healthy (useful) food. Not fat beef, rabbit flesh, light chicken meat and time a week – fish. Better in a boiled look (or just to boil casseroles, meatballs, quenelles pieces). In the summer experts recommend low-fat grades of ocean small fish. And about sushi – it is worth forgetting, the risk of poisoning with crude fish, especially is very high in the summer (you do not know for sure in what conditions she was prepared and stored and transportation in the hot car with a product will make nothing good). Eat more fresh vegetables and fruit: in an integral look or salads. And very much you watch closely the drinking mode that there did not come dehydration. In the third trimester of pregnancy the doctors limit amount of liquid which is permissible for drinking to reduce risk of hypostases. During a heat it becomes the real test, freshly brewed green tea (does not contain caffeine, tones up, satisfies thirst) and fruit drinks can save you from sour berries.
To a word about food, tell whether someone had those promised strange desires of chalk, plaster or herring with banana and strawberry jam? In all 9 months did not wait for creative inquiries from an organism … And you?
Pillow for pregnant women. Time goes and your tummy with the kid become more and more … To sleep as earlier it will not turn out any more: on a stomach it is contraindicated to sleep (here everything is logical: not to do much harm to the child), on a back forbid to sleep in the third trimester also often (the stomach heavy and can interfere with breath, and also peredavit internals, so explained to me), and to sleep on one side not really conveniently as the stomach outweighs. It is possible to curtail a blanket into a lump and to palm off under a stomach or to buy a special pillow for pregnant women. At first you will sleep on it with comfort, then on it your kid will have a rest. (During the period while the kid is not advised to add on buttocks, it can be added in the center of such small pillow since at the same time there is no load of a basin and a backbone, it is convenient and interesting to the child)
Insomnia or problems with a dream. Choose bed linen from natural fabrics, it is better – cotton. In advance check that did not "bite" and did not irritate, for example, with the drawing, and that anything happens … We sometimes on 3 times in a night a perezastilala bed (thanks to the husband for patience) – there was a strong wish to sleep on svezhevyglazhenny or on the contrary – cool. Especially this moment becomes relevant summer: on the street of heat and to fall asleep even more difficultly. Do not forget to air properly the room before going to bed, it is better to walk on the street in an evening cool. Do damp cleaning more often, include a humidifier or periodically moisten air from a pulvilizator (economic option).
Hypostases. I observed the drinking mode, was engaged in self-massage, 15 minutes a day lay legs up (I advise all – prevention of varicosity). But legs all the same constantly swelled … I want to share magic cure for hypostases of legs. Long time could not fall asleep as legs strongly hooted … But foot cream with menthol gives feeling of a desired cool.
Bandage. Somewhere on 22-30 week (to whom as) there can be a need of acquisition of a prenatal bandage. It is appointed not to all future mothers. Some women quite manage the special supporting linen. Can be indications to carrying a bandage: pains from area of a waist (the bandage reduces load of a backbone therefore it becomes easier for a back); at threat of termination of pregnancy or underdevelopment of a neck of the uterus; at low position of the kid at weak muscles of a stomach of mom (the bandage fixes position of the child and does not allow it to fall ahead of time); in case of especially big loading (twins or triplets); after the previous Cesarean section (a hem on a uterus) or other gynecologic operation after which there did not pass 1.5-2 years before pregnancy; pinching of a nerve in lumbar department or any other troubles. Your doctor can advise a bandage to you or you can appeal to it to help with the choice of suitable model. Also it is worth asking the doctor to tell how it is correct to put on a bandage (and it is better – to show). On the Internet it is full of instructions, but also according to them it is possible to mix something or to understand not so.
Practical advice at a heat. The daughter was born on August 2, and and above (the summer was very hot, and the apartment on sunny side) I was influenced by all delights of the third trimester in +30.
1. In the last 2 months took a shower on 3-4 times in a day. Regular rubdowns, leg baths … All this perfectly helps "to be cooled" and prevent hypostases.2. Under the scorching sun my legs increased in sizes directly in the eyes (from shop the house reached the person, completely different by the sizes) – not for nothing advise to stock up with the most comfortable and open footwear. My council – Vietnamese! The sole and 2 strings which are not limiting your legs which are not constraining the movement.3. Remove all rings and jewelry - it is very unpleasant to pull together a ring from the swelled-up finger, it is checked personally. 4. During pregnancy to sunbathe and burn down as easy as shelling pears. Melanin level in skin of future mom is much higher, than earlier. Therefore every time in 20 minutes prior to an exit to the street it is necessary to use sunblock creams. 5. Avoid overheating on the street: you wear free, light clothes from the natural breathing fabrics of light colors; do not forget a headdress (perhaps even a hat with fields – and in addition protect a face from the scorching sun).6. Use the correct seat belts (and not only during a heat - just very important council, especially that who driving).
And finally there is a wish to tell: the British sociologists found out that the best English sprinters and football players were born on light in the summer; and still the people born in summer months less often suffer from completeness. So if you were inexpressibly lucky and the third trimester dropped out on hot season – let thoughts of the active kid who very soon will not allow you to miss, please you!
