Pregnancy is the most beautiful phase of a women’s life and a lifetime experience. It brings joy to our lives but at the same time, we need to be extra cautious as we have to take care of a budding life along with ourselves. We need to make some necessary changes in our lifestyle for a smooth and wonderful 9 month journey. But, what all changes? Don’t be scared, here are few dietary and lifestyle habits that we need to change to bring a healthy baby to this world.

Alcohol

Do not drink alcohol in any form while planning to conceive, during pregnancy and while breastfeeding at all. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can increase the risk of miscarriages, low birth weight, pre-mature deliveries and affect foetus development. Hence, there is no safe amount to drink alcohol during pregnancy. Replace your alcoholic beverages with healthy drinks like lemon water, coconut water, buttermilk and milk shakes.

Raw milk and milk products

During pregnancy, women are more prone to bacterial infections and food poisoning due to low immunity. So, make sure not to consume raw milk or milk product as it can lead to foodborne illness which further affects baby’s development. Purchase only pasteurized milk and milk products and always use boiled milk to prepare tea, coffee, curd, cheese, etc.

Seafood
