Pregnancy Journal ? Ease your Pain

Pregnancy journal affords a pregnant woman the means of recording her experience during those long nine months before she delivers the baby. Every woman goes through significant discomfort, pain, and emotional upheaval during her period of pregnancy. It brings a lot of physical changes in her body usually accompanied by pain of some sort. However, writing down the day- to-day account has been found to be of great help in making the pregnancy somewhat easy for the expectant mothers. You can begin your journal by penning the early pregnancy symptoms. Not only is it incredibly soothing to pour your experience and thoughts onto paper, but also it is incredibly interesting to read your own writing / journal years later. Here are a few tips on writing a pregnancy journal.

How To Begin?

Things you Should Know if It?s your First Pregnancy

Is this your first pregnancy? Yes! Then, congratulations are in order. For women, who are expecting for the first time, it is both an exciting and a nervous moment.

But, how did you find out that you are pregnant? A missed menstrual period is usually the first sign of pregnancy. Don’t worry, if you do not remember when you last menstruated. There are several other signs of pregnancy that appear during the first few weeks. Some of these early signs of pregnancy are described as follows:

Physical Changes: One of the surest signs of first pregnancy is the change in appearance of your breasts. Your breasts may feel tender, sore, fuller or heavier. This happens because your breasts begin to grow as your body releases a larger quantity of estrogen and progesterone. Another first pregnancy symptom is development of tiny spots called tubercles around your nipples.

Let your Pregnancy and Diet Compliment Each Other

When it comes to pregnancy and diet, the commonest question is, “Do you really need to eat for two?” The answer is a stunning “No!” You need just 300 calories extra everyday during pregnancy. And this amounts to a tuna sandwich or two and half cups low-fat milk!

So, if you have been taking large helpings of food during your meals, you are doing no good to either your baby or yourself. On the contrary, you are paving a way for gaining unnecessary weight that might give rise to pregnancy complications.

Be smart with regards to your diet during pregnancy. Instead of extra servings during meals, why not have a couple of whole-wheat toast slices or a glass of orange juice between meals? This is not only nutritious, but also fills up the calorie requirement, without making you gain unnecessary pounds.
