Getting pregnant may be confusing as your body faces enormous changes in a very short time. As a result, you have to adjust really quickly to what is happening. Some of your old habits, especially related to lifestyle and hobbies, should be left behind and some new ones should be adopted. How would you deal with that? Learn some pregnancy dos and don'ts below.
Getting Tattoo: Not Recommended
Tattooing your body during pregnancy is not recommended. While professional tattoo parlors have little to no chance to transmit diseases due to sterility issues, another problem may occur. While the amount of ink will not give you any effects, there are no studies about the effect of inks on the fetus. For your baby's safety, wait until the delivery before getting your body inked.
Sitting in Front of Computer All Day: Do
The concern about sitting in front of computer all day is that its electromagnetic field is feared to trigger miscarriage. You will be glad to know that this is not true. However, long period of sitting can disturb your blood circulation as well as create back pain. Take frequent breaks and move around a lot to avoid problems with your circulation.
Eating Fish and Other Seafood: Do, with Caution
Fish and other seafood are great sources of proteins, vitamins and minerals. They also contain omega-3 fatty acids that are very helpful for development of your baby's brain. Unfortunately, seafood can also contain harmful pollutants such as mercury, pesticides and dioxins that may cause defects and reproductive failure. As sharks, swordfish, tilefish and king mackerel absorb very high amounts of pollutants; make sure to stay away from these fish during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Clams and other bottom-dwelling seafood also may contain pollutants from heavy metals that settle on the bottom.
Using Vibrator during Sex: Do, with Caution
Only women having a normal pregnancy are recommended to use sex toys during coitus. However, steer clear of sex toys and beware of having an orgasm if you have the risk of preterm labor. Don't push too hard while using the instrument and make sure it's perfectly clean. Unsterile sex toys and too forceful penetration towards your uterus might traumatize the placenta and trigger infection to the baby.
Horseback Riding: Don't
Pregnant women in their first trimester may be ride horseback slowly. After 12 weeks, you should forget your desire to go horseback riding. During the second trimester, your baby is no longer protected by your pelvic girdle; therefore, nothing will protect the fetus from the jostling motion of horseback riding. Forget the possibility of getting thrown off of the horse. The jostling motion itself is the more serious concern about placental abruption.
