Clothes in Pregnancy

 Due to ever changing size of clothes in Pregnancy one has the liberty to shop J and I am sure all girls or rather mom-to-be will love it.

First three months your weight does not increase much or the tummy is not visible at all. But after third month you need to seriously buy new and comfortable clothes. The worst nightmare for me was what to buy and which size.

So following are some tips what to buy in pregnancy.

1 BRA: yes we can discuss this. Your chest size increases with the weight gained so make sure you buy some SPORTS BRA. Yes the ones we used to wear in our teenage times. They are very comfortable during these days and would not let your boobs sag. #WhichBraInPregnancy . No wired bra please.

2. What to wear: Anything COTTON is the best clothing during summers. As you need to make sure you are comfortable and your skin is not itchy. In winters have a good layer of clothes but again the innermost should be cotton.

 3. Jeans: You get a lot of maternity jeans which has a stretchable band for the tummy area and denims for the legs. They are comfortable and easily available.

Don’t try to get into your old clothes, buy and enjoy your pregnancy and shopping. You will need to buy almost after every 2 months(after first trimester). So buy in limit because the newly bought tees might be tight after a month.

Happy mommying!!

How to avoid nausea in Preganancy

During pregnancy a lot of girls feel nauseated or do not feel like eating at all in the first trimester but it  decreases when 4th month starts. So here are few tips to overcome it:-

1. Walk everyday only uptil your body allows , never strain your body, It should be done with ease.
2. You can have curd with rock salt with your meals or before it. (the best/tried/it works)
3. Drink small portions of ginger ale , if it suits you.
4.  Apple with or with out salt, 15minutes, before your meals.
5. Mix a few seeds of carom with a spoon of rock salt. Have a very less portion of it in small intervals. Some might find the taste of carom peculiar or strong, so have it with caution ( Both the ingredients help in digestion)
6. Have a good helping of Vanilla Ice-cream

Take care mommy-to-be!!

Before pregnancy- II (Planning a baby)

 If you are planning to have a baby,

1. Start having Iron tablet and folic acid. (especially for vegetarians)(consult your doctor too)
2. Exercise/Yoga or atleast walk. It is very important that you be active.A healthy lifestyle leads to a healthy baby.

4. Vitamin E(increases the chance) helps too. (consult your doc)

New born baby diaper

Here is the review of the diapers I have used for my baby since birth.

Trust me your baby will not have any issue/ diaper rash even you use the diaper since birth. Infact if you are alone(no one to help) don’t worry you can use the diapers for the baby but only wisely and you can take a good nap, so that you don’t need to change the sheets or nappy every time your little one pees.

Relax and enjoy your motherhood too…

So my view on Pampers New born: 6/10

Money wise: not very costly

Absorption: quality has significantly dropped (it leaks sometimes)

Size: Ok

The size is large and a bit wider too. I recommend this for a baby boy who needs a bit bigger diaper than girls I guess.

My view on Huggies New born: 7/10

Money wise: not costly

Absorption: good

Size: Ok

Its sleeker so recommend this for a baby girl.

My view on Libero New born: 9/10

Money wise: costlier than above two

Absorption: good

Size: Good

I love these ones. Very soft and comfortable for the babies.

IF NOT ABLE TO CONCEIVE

i am sure you must have read a lot but here is a small advice. i am not an expert but this is the knowledge i had gained after eating many gynaecologist’s head and through various books and I hope following might help you.

you need to know when exactly you are ovulating(egg in your uterus). there is a 48hr window when you are most prone to conceive, that is when some action(serious ones) is needed the most ;)

Are your menstrual cycle are exactly for  28days? if yes then you know the ovulating days 12-14th day from the day your period begins.

if no, then you need to know the ovulating days.

Step1: buy an ovulation strip kit: it helps you to know those "2days" when some

action is required.

           If those strip doesn't help you,

Step2:  get a follicle study done. Dont worry its sounds a big thing but its

nothing but to help you to know about your eggs position (those 2day) by an

ultrasound, just like any other ultrasound.

Some basic tips given by my gynea you can try to increase your chances:

1. do not get up right after having an intercourse. WAIT!!

2. you should keep your feet, high up, rested on the bed  in such a manner that you make an angle, with your upper part of the body on the bed(bums on a pillow) and your feet up.

3. please avoid raw papaya, pineapple (old wives tale)

4. decrease your caffine intake present in drinks like tea, coke, coffee.

5. take some prenatal medication recommended: folic acid(a must), iron (if required),   

    ask doc  if u need it

6. vitamin E helps in conceiving, ask doc if u need it

7. take a break from work, even if it  is not very stressful, go on an vacation for those 2-3 days n enjoy to the fullest...be happy and make love ;)

all the best n take care and always consult with your doctor.

Happy Mommying!!

No Diaper Rash

this is a tried and tested and your baby will not have any diaper rash.Following steps will help you to not buy those expensive #DiaperRashCream

1. After baby's bath or poopy always wipe and dry the genital area with a soft dry cloth.

2. Apply coconut oil(or a baby oil) on the outer area only. It basically provides layer to prevent the skin to touch the wet diaper until cleaned. (Coconut oil is not expensive and easily available). Avoid those costly diaper rash cream(chemicals)

3. then make the baby wear the diaper.

Note:

---- please change the diaper after every 5-7 hours depending on the baby's skin sensitivity.

---- Make sure whenever the baby poops clean it immediately and replace with the new diaper

---- do not reuse the diaper even if not a single drop of urine was there.

Before Pregnancy

If you are planning to have a baby there are certain things one should be sure of.

      A baby changes everything in your life from your eating habits to your partying and even your vacations   will depend on them. So be sure that your partner is also ready to have a baby. So plan, plan, plan!!!

Ask a certain questions to yourself :-

1. Are both the partners interested in having a baby?
2. Am I healthy enough to raise a baby?
3. Do we have enough money/facilities to be able to feed the baby and fulfil his basic requirements?
4. Are we ready to spend some sleepless nights?
5. Am I ready to leave my job or take a sabbatical?

If YES then we are ready to move forward.

There are various websites and books from which one can understand pregnancy better. Books like “what to expect” is a great book on pregnancy and now they a website( www.whattoexpect.com) and an app based on it which gives you weekly updates too. Its pretty handy.

Another website which really helped me was www.babycenter.com.

Go ahead read and register into these, they have plenty of info which is so true that you will relate and understand pregnancy better. It in fact all the knowledge makes the journey easier.

lets get started!

So finally after a 21months to be precise i would like to  share my experience and some insights I have gained since pregnancy uptil today( my baby girl Samaira is 21months now).

I am an engineer by profession but after marriage my life took a u-turn and I became  a housewife(trying to teach French to school students and make e-books). So this blog came up coz there are many sites to give details to new to-be-mothers but not small advices.

I hope through this I can help a few ladies/moms by telling some home remedies,some good practices etc for those nine months and years of joy to come.

Happy mommying!!
