When it comes to having a healthy pregnancy, the wellness of a child begins with the health of its mother. If you’re pregnant or trying to conceive, there are a few steps you can take to promote a safe and healthy pregnancy. The professionals at Advanced OB-GYN Services of St. Peters and St. Louis, MO, are here for you throughout your pregnancy.

Advanced OB-GYN Services share a few expert tips for a healthy pregnancy:

  • Schedule Your Appointment Early: As soon as you find out you're pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, make an appointment with your OB-GYN. The professionals will be able to provide pregnancy care tips tailored to you, discuss the stages of pregnancy, and help you schedule upcoming appointments. Visiting your doctor early will make it easier for you to maintain a check-up routine that fits your schedule. For your convenience, Advanced OB-GYN Services has two locations, one in St. Peters and one in St. Louis.

  • Plan Meals Wisely: During your pregnancy, you can continue to eat a normal, healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, wholegrain carbohydrates, protein, and Omega-3 fatty acids from fish. It isn’t until the last trimester that you need to start considering adding in a couple hundred extra calories per day, but your doctor will be able to provide dietary recommendations specific to your body’s needs throughout your pregnancy.
  • Exercise: Moderate exercise has tremendous benefits during pregnancy, including helping your body adapt to weight changes from pregnancy and boosting your mood. Some exercises, such as pelvic floor squeezes, may even help childbirth go more smoothly.

While using these tips can help lay the foundation for staying healthy while pregnant, there are many other tips that your OB-GYN will discuss with you in detail during your visit.
