How to Take Care Of Yourself During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is one of the most memorable and beautiful journeys of a woman’s life. An expecting mother is filled with excitement, joy, hope and stress as well. To make her feel special, her loved ones shower her with guidance, blessings, and attention. But pregnancy also puts a mother’s patience to the test. It alters her physical appearance and values, as well as drives her to new emotional highs and lows. Many new moms are concerned about their health, relationships, and the future of their children. However, there are a few basic things you can do to stay calm and joyful during your pregnancy.

First Trimester

The first trimester of pregnancy is likely the most joyful, especially, if it’s your first child. During the first trimester, your body goes through a lot of changes as your baby’s body structure and organ systems develop throughout this time.

It’s normal to go through mood swings at this time. You may also experience motion sickness, nausea, upset stomach, or vomiting that can all be treated with ginger and orange oil, which helps to improve mood and function as an anti-inflammatory. It’s essential to use products with these natural oils.

Natural Body Wash by The Moms Co., for example, helps in the relief of dry skin and the reduction of morning sickness. And their Natural Body Lotion made with Shea butter and natural oils, moisturizes and soothes dry, irritated skin while also reducing anxiety and calming nerves.

Second Trimester

Women experience some relief from the symptoms of the first trimester, such as morning sickness, nausea and headache, during this stage of pregnancy. However, some growing discomforts lead to a sense of pain.

You may witness increased appetite and sudden weight gain during this trimester. Since you are carrying your baby around, you may suffer greater aches, pains and swelling during this stage. Make sure to have plenty of water and fluids as moisturizing and nourishing are crucial. This is the time when your skin around the belly starts stretching as well. Stretch marks and itchiness caused by stretching can be reduced by keeping the belly moisturized.

Dryness, itching, and stretch marks are common side effects of stretching and growing bellies, which rob the skin of its natural moisture. If you apply Natural Stretch Oil and Natural Body Butter by The Moms Co., your skin can fight off stretch marks. These products promote natural elasticity and control the appearance of stretch marks and also helps in moisturizing and comforting the skin.

You’ll probably start to notice a new set of symptoms, such as swollen and tired ankles, which you can treat by massaging using the Natural Foot Cream by The Moms Co. With a toxin-free blend of Shea Butter and oils like Sweet Almond, Argan, and Olive, it gently nourishes and moisturizes tired, swollen feet. It is enriched with Peppermint Oil and delivers a refreshing and cooling sensation to the feet.

Third Trimester

The third trimester is when you start receiving a lot of attention & love from friends and family. But during the third trimester, you may also face issues like shortness of breath, movement restrictions, and sleeping problems. This is an excellent time to educate yourself about labor and delivery while also keeping in regular touch with your doctor.

You may experience false labor pains as your body prepares for delivery. These are light contractions that occur before going into labor. It is important to stay organized, stock up on essentials, and take care of yourself with rest, healthy diet, and pregnancy skincare products for your postpartum recoveries like the Natural Pain Relief Oil by The Moms Co., which is enriched with Mahua Oil and Turmeric Oil and can be used for postpartum recovery, joint pain relief, and muscle relaxation. It relieves postpartum pain in the back and limbs through essential minerals and vitamins for bone and muscle health such as Calcium, Iron, Vitamins A, C, and B complex.

While your personal care is of top concern you should also start thinking about the baby that you are going to welcome into the world. To cover all the skincare needs of your baby’s early days you can get the Baby Pampering Suitcase by The Moms Co., which has products with the power of 10 natural oils to provide tear-free, gentle, and light washing & moisturizing. Packed with affection and everything needed to take care of the baby’s delicate skin and hair throughout those first few months.

Getting ready for your new bundle of joy will be a breeze with this pregnancy care! Use these products to plan ahead of time for what you’ll need to accomplish each trimester. With the help of natural and toxin-free products for yourself and your baby you’ll be ready to welcome your kid into the world and your house in no time! Now it’s time to unwind and await the big day!
