Here are some tips to help new moms have a healthy pregnancy, resulting in a healthy infant. • Visit a doctor or clinic as soon as you think you’re pregnant, and keep your prenatal care appointments. • Avoid exposure to toxic substances and chemicals, such as cleaning solvents, lead, mercury, some insecticides and paint fumes. • Don’t smoke. Smoking during pregnancy increases the chances of premature birth, certain birth defects and infant death, and is one of the risk factors for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). • Avoid alcohol and limit caffeine. • Avoid saunas, hot tubs and steam rooms while you are pregnant. • Ask your health care provider about prescription or over-the-counter drugs before you take them. • Get plenty of rest. Resting on your left side provides the best circulation to your baby and helps reduce swelling. 3 • Stay active. Light to moderate exercise strengthens the abdominal and back muscles, which can improve posture. • Stay hydrated. Drink extra fluids (water is best) throughout pregnancy to help your body keep up with the increases in your blood volume. • Eat a healthy diet that includes whole grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, protein foods or meat. Foods that are low in fat and high in fiber are important to a healthy diet. • Take prenatal vitamins to ensure that you are getting enough vitamins and minerals, including folic acid and iron. • Wash your hands throughout the day and avoid contact with rodents, under-cooked or raw meat, and cat litter. Wear gloves while gardening. Medical conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy, and high blood pressure should be kept under control. Discuss with your doctor all prescribed and over-the-counter medicines and supplements you are taking. Frequent urination during pregnancy is normal, but if you experience burning as well, tell your doctor. Call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following: pain of any kind, strong cramps, uterine contractions at 20-minute intervals, vaginal bleeding, leaking of amniotic fluid, dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, palpitations, rapid heartbeat, constant nausea and vomiting, trouble walking, swelling of joints, or if your baby has decreased activity. 4 Yes, breast is best, but what about ... Most expectant moms know that breast milk is the perfect food for babies. Babies get the benefit of increased immunity, and mothers are saved the time and expense of preparing formulas and bottles. In addition, breastfeeding helps the mother’s uterus return to normal size quickly, and making milk uses lots of calories, so it’s a great way to lose the extra weight gained during pregnancy. However, almost all new mothers have concerns about breastfeeding. Here are some common worries, along with suggestions for dealing with them: Concern that baby isn’t getting enough to eat: Sometimes, babies do seem hungrier than usual. However, as long they are having adequate output, which is about six to eight wet diapers and three or four bowel movements every 24 hours, frequent nursing is probably due to a growth spurt. If your baby isn’t having adequate output, talk to your pediatrician or a lactation specialist for assistance. Worry about pain and discomfort: Although mothers have been breastfeeding their babies since the beginning of the human race, not all babies and mothers are pre-programmed with the proper techniques. However, new mothers can learn to minimize discomfort by contacting a lactation specialist or health care provider. 5 Don’t wait until you experience a problem – learn all you can about breastfeeding and decide who to contact for support before your baby arrives. Fear that some people may think breastfeeding is “unseemly.” If you run into this attitude, you may choose to just slip off and find some privacy, as stress can make breastfeeding more difficult. To discreetly breastfeed your baby, try draping a receiving blanket over your shoulder, making a little tent for your baby and your breast. Make short shopping trips and scope out dressing rooms with a chair for resting or breastfeeding. Be sensitive to others’ feelings, but don’t compromise your beliefs. North Carolina General Statute 14-190.9 states that a woman may breastfeed in p u b l i c . Concern that the baby’s father or other caregivers may feel left out. There are many ways others can participate in an infant’s day-to-day routine — bathing, rocking, soothing, reading stories, playing and singing songs are just a few ways for others to bond with your baby. Let the others in your child’s life know how important they are to you and the baby. Worry that you just can’t do it. Don’t worry but don’t be afraid to ask for help. 6 Breastfeeding resources Healthy Homecoming: This program is offered through Albemarle Health (hospital). A registered nurse, who is also a certified lactation specialist, makes home visits to new mothers to make sure mother and baby get off to a good start. For more information, call (252) 384-4745.

During the busy days that make up the first weeks of parenting, remember to take good care of yourself as well as the new baby. Here are some tips for the early weeks. Get as much rest as possible. Sleep when the baby sleeps and moms and dads can take turns sleeping. Eat nutritious meals. If friends offer to help, let them bring you dinner or do your grocery shopping.
