I am pregnant during this PANDEMIC, now WHAT?⁠
😱🤰🏻⁠
If you have just figure out you are pregnant during this uncertain times, please try to not panic!⁠
.⁠
You may be trying to conceive for months, maybe years…⁠
Or maybe it was a surprise! Independently of your historic, IT IS STILL A PRECIOUS NEWS!⁠
.⁠
CONGRATULATIOUS!⁠
.⁠
You are starting a beautiful journey of conceiving a new human being and this is fantastic!⁠
.⁠
After telling your doctor, it’s time to invest in a good sleep, to make sure your hormones remain balanced, take your multivitamins, rich in folic acid, Vitamin C, D, E, A, B’s etc. and of course, invest in a nutrient dense diet.(Discuss with your doctor or a Nutritionist if it’s time to increase any of those doses)⁠
.⁠
Fruits and veggies are the main sources of antioxidants and besides giving your baby crucial nutrients, it will keep your immune system strong for the uncertain times ahead.(Try having at least 4-5 servings a day).⁠
.⁠
Increase your intake of good fat from nuts, seeds and healthy oils from flaxseeds and fish, together with high protein and complex carbs will give you the main nutrients needed during early pregnancy and the fast embryo’s development.⁠
.⁠
Balance your anxiety about the news out there, trying to delegate the pandemic updates to your partner and make sure to practice some deep breathing, yoga, meditation an light exercise to calm your mind due this hard time and focus on keeping only positive thoughts and energy coming in. AND remember, STAY HOME and PROTECT YOURSELF.⁠

Are you wondering if you are pregnant? It is possible to experience pregnancy symptoms before missing your period. .

I had 7 pregnancies, 2 earthside, 5 mc’s. Through this experience, I just felt like I knew my body so well. I just knew I was pregnant at least more than a week before my period was due. . – Dizziness – Fluttering feelings in my stomach – Rushes of energy – Tightening of my uterus – Cramping feelings from left to right (instead of the normal top to bottom pms cramps) – Feeling implantation – Implantation bleeding – Heavy breasts – Feeling warmer than usual – Frequent urination – Food aversions – Feeling different (almost like a motherly feeling already) – The position of my cervix (high and soft) .

I have written in more detail about early pregnancy feelings on my website. See the link in my bio and go to the Pregnancy section.

When you’re pregnant, you need about twice the amount of iron as you did before you were expecting because your body uses iron to make extra bloodfor your baby. And yet, about 50% of pregnant women don’t get enough of this important mineral. Eating iron-rich foods and taking extra iron can help keep your iron level in check.
Some common and rich sources are Beef liver, Chicken liver, Iron-fortified instant oatmeal, Iron-fortified ready-to-eat cereal, Raisins, kidney beans, Lentils,
Soybeans, green leafy vegetables.
Also, a lot of patients do not know what not to take when having their iron supplements. Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron better when you eat both at the same meal, whereas, certain drinks and foods prevent your body from absorbing iron. These include coffee, tea, milk, whole grains, and dairy products.
Try not to eat these foods at the same meal when you’re eating iron supplements.

Happy Resurrection Sunday! ✝️⁣
⁣
We had a wonderful church service online, spent the day cooking + baking + grilling (too much food), singing + dancing, and watching movies. Making the best of it, and not letting quarantine ruin today for us 💜
