How to stay in shape during pregnancy

A beautiful figure is what every young woman desires, but due to pregnancy, many women who were once very beautiful will lose their figure. Therefore, for some women who have a desire for challenges, maintaining their figure and dressing up during pregnancy is still an indispensable part of life. So, for pregnant women, how should they maintain their figure during pregnancy?

I believe that many pregnant women and mothers are very concerned about how to protect their figure during pregnancy. In order to help everyone maintain a graceful figure during pregnancy, this article specifically describes some precautions for maintaining figure during pregnancy.

1 Pregnancy also requires timely skin care

2 No wonder, your face always looks radiant thanks to increased blood flow and more oil produced by the skin. Other skin changes include: pregnancy spots (facial pigmentation), acne, itchy skin and stretch marks. Massaging with body lotion/cream can relieve dry skin and stretch marks to a certain extent. But be sure to consult your doctor before using any acne treatment product.

3. Exercise properly during pregnancy

4Exercise during pregnancy can give you more energy and prepare you for the birth of your baby. As long as your doctor approves, you can exercise for more than 2.5 hours a week if you are in good health. Some low-intensity exercises, such as walking and swimming, are very good choices. If you were active before you became pregnant, ask your doctor if you can continue running, doing aerobics, or lifting weights. Make sure to drink enough water during exercise and stop to rest if you feel dizzy.

5. Massage for muscle soreness

6Massage or spa is definitely a good choice for expectant mothers. Massage helps release tension throughout the body and relieve muscle soreness and pain. Of course, you must get your doctor's consent before going and choose a professional masseur with a prenatal massage license. Most spas are safe, but avoid saunas, mud baths, and other treatments that raise your body temperature. Also be aware that your skin may be more sensitive to some procedures, such as a spa facial, at this time.

7. Practice yoga with your doctor’s permission

8. Buy a yoga DVD specifically for pregnant women, or sign up for a pregnancy yoga class to relax yourself and better balance your body's center of gravity! Professional yoga instructors know what poses are safe for pregnant women and will continue to adjust your movements as your due date approaches. However, even if you practice yoga, you should get your doctor's consent in advance.

9. During pregnancy, you may feel like you're on a roller coaster of emotions. I am looking forward to the upcoming little life, but I am also worried about childbirth and my identity as a new mother. Mixed emotions mixed with the hormonal changes during pregnancy - your emotions are going through the roof. However, you are not alone, there are many pregnant women like you. To this end, you should ensure adequate rest and do some stress-relieving activities, such as exercise and chatting with friends. If you feel depressed, seek medical help immediately.

10 Do you feel that your hair is thicker and more abundant? One of the benefits of pregnancy hormones is that it makes you lose less hair than before. It's generally okay to have hair treatments such as permanent hair dye, but doctors will usually recommend that you wait until the first three months are over before doing so. Also due to hormonal changes, your hair may fall out more after giving birth than before. Fortunately, your hair usually returns to its original state within 6 months.

The above are some precautions on how women should maintain their figure during pregnancy. I hope it can provide some guidance to beauty-loving expectant mothers on how to maintain their figure. Of course, since pregnant women are in pregnancy, no matter what you do, you must avoid doing things too large.
