Fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grain products should be part of your daily diet. It is also important to ensure an adequate intake of folic acid and iodine to prevent your child from being born with a neural tube defect such as an open spine. You can ensure adequate supply by taking specially tailored capsules from the first day of your pregnancy, designed to meet the needs of expectant mothers.

Moderate exercise outdoors provides your baby with oxygen and is good for your circulation. Yoga, Pilates, and swimming also help strengthen your muscles, preparing you for childbirth.
Stress and hectic situations immediately affect the baby - often resulting in painful kicks. Therefore, make sure to get enough sleep and incorporate moments of rest into your daily routine. This is essential for your child to thrive undisturbed.
In a normal pregnancy, there is no reason to avoid intimacy with your partner. The baby is well protected in the uterus and cannot be harmed. If you have any concerns, consult your doctor for advice.
Take this time to enjoy some quality time with your partner before the baby arrives and changes your lives. Air travel is generally safe, especially in the early months of pregnancy. However, long-haul flights may potentially increase the risk of blood clots. Always seek advice from your doctor beforehand.
Once you see a positive pregnancy test, it's time to say goodbye to the cigarette pack! There is no better reason to give up a habit that significantly harms your health. Nicotine hinders the baby's oxygen supply and increases the risk of growth disorders, placental abruption, and premature births. Passive smoking also poses a serious threat to the baby.
Now is not the time for a glass of red wine in the evening. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can lead to abnormalities in the baby, including growth restrictions after birth, nerve damage, and delayed growth in childhood.
It's no coincidence that your sense of smell is heightened during pregnancy and the thought of certain foods makes you nauseous. Your body is warning you to be cautious because not everything on the supermarket shelf is good for your baby. Raw milk cheese like mozzarella, salami, or sushi with raw fish may contain Listeria - small bacteria that are mainly found in untreated animal products. Even pre-packaged salads can be contaminated. From the 3rd month of pregnancy, the baby can become infected with Listeria through the placenta. This can damage the brain, lungs, and liver and often leads to stillbirth.
These days, it is standard practice to ask a woman if she is pregnant before undergoing an X-ray examination - and that's a good thing. High doses of radiation can harm the fetus and lead to malformations. However, there may be circumstances where you need to undergo an X-ray. Your doctor will inform you of all the risks in such cases. It's important to note that modern X-ray machines emit much less radiation than before. Nevertheless, it should always be carefully considered whether the examination is truly necessary.
