Month: July 2019

So with talking to my Dr and getting the right food in my body to feed my baby all the good nutritious good stuff it needs this was breakfast this morning. .
.
.
.
1 slice of Whole wheat bread, Colby Jack Cheese, 2 fried eggs with no butter or oil to cook. Just a non-stick pan. .
.
.
.
Another meal kept down. Baby and momma liked it!!! ❤️🐣❤️ .

⭐Monday reminder – Kegels
.
I am guilty for this one! Forgetting to do these exercises until someone mentions them.
Now I make them a daily practice.
Eat breakfast- Kegels
Driving- Kegels
Waiting in the shopping line- Kegels
Writing this post- Kegels .
And no one will ever know 😉
You’re doing them right now aren’t you lol.
.
.
Fortunately, there’s one exercise that experts agree can help prevent problems with your pelvic muscles after birth and may even make your labour go a little smoother: Kegels.
These pelvic floor exercises are key to preventing incontinence — plus Kegels can lead to a shorter labor and a faster post-birth recovery.
.
.
Study after study has shown that regularly doing Kegels during and after pregnancy can help decrease the odds of incontinence and other pelvic floor issues. What’s more, research has also suggested that women who do pelvic floor exercises may have a slightly shorter active phase of labour than other women. And as if that’s not enough, Kegels have even been shown to boost your sexual health and pleasure and help you reach orgasm more easily.🎉
.
.
Give me 🙌 below if your doing your Kegels right now.

Quick recap of the first 12 weeks… Mild nausea, strong sense of smell, sugar cravings and anxiety/worry/nerves!!! My counsellor said something which helped me and I would like to pass it on in the hope it might help someone else in the throes of early pregnancy anxiety: ‘if all of this was taken away from you tomorrow, would enjoying it today make the pain worse’… no it wouldn’t and this perspective did help me to embrace being pregnant early on (of course I was still worried but I was able to rationalize it a bit).

Jane has always been an active person. She loves doing yoga and going for long hikes with her hubby. But she’s wondering now, what kind of restrictions are there for exercise during her pregnancy? 🧐⁣
⁣
In short, none! Jane should obviously avoid any contact sports or high-risk sports that could result in trauma to her stomach. 🤰🏼⁣
⁣
As long as Janes pregnancy is low risk she is free to practice any type of low-impact exercise, that is, if she doesn’t have complications like:⁣
⁣
🔸Heart or lung disease⁣
🔸High blood pressure or preeclampsia⁣
🔸Cervical problems (like an incompetent cervix or preterm labour)⁣
🔸Persistent bleeding during the second or third trimesters.⁣
🔸Placental issues. ⁣
🔸Premature rupture of membranes⁣
🔸Multiples (in some cases)⁣
⁣
Moderate exercise is recommended in pregnancy and it will help you feel better in a lot of ways. Yes, even in the first trimester! ⁣
⁣
Exercise can do the following things for you:⁣
⁣
💗Reduce backaches.⁣
💗Relieve constipation, bloating and swelling.⁣
💗Boost your mood and energy.⁣
💗Help you sleep.⁣
💗Prevent excess weight gain.⁣
💗Promote strength and endurance which will help in labour and delivery!⁣
⁣
I recommend finding something you love to do, otherwise, you won’t do it regularly! I really love yoga and Zumba, I don’t need to force myself to do those things, I actively seek them out. Go on, move your body! 💃 ⁣
⁣
Just remember to get the OK from your health care provider first and off you go. ⁣

What did you do to stay active during your pregnancy? ⁣

Attended my first pregnancy yoga 🧘‍♀️ session today – felt scared and anxious as we did introductions but made it real, which is starting to sink in!
.
Then in relaxation, the teacher read out this awesome poem which meant so much and brought a couple of tears to my eyes… it’s been a long journey but I need to start embracing and enjoying it…
.
Happy Saturday 😘

90% swollen ovaries 10% the beginnings of a bump.
Counting down to the 10 week scan next week to see if things are still progressing 🤞🤞🤞
Hormones have definitely been surging the last week but other symptoms seem to have lessened (which in itself is terrifying and making me jump to the worst conclusions 🙈) #ivfjourney #ivf #icsi #icsijourney #9weekspregnant #9w3d #hormones #earlypregnancy
