1. Exercise during pregnancy shortens labor by over 33%! Workout regularly for a faster, easier labor.
2. Afraid of tearing during birth? Minimize the risk by doing Kegels to build a strong pelvic floor.
3. During pregnancy, your protein needs increase dramatically. Top picks are steak for iron, chicken for folate, and salmon for omega-3s.
4. Pregnancy bedroom tip: When rolling over in bed, avoid that shooting pain in your side by tightening your abdominal muscles toward the spine. This also makes bumpy car rides more comfy.
5. Pregnant & constipated? Add a tablespoon of chia seeds to your favorite beverage.
