Head aches

Think you are exhausted and tired all the time? If yes its only cause you are going through a very normal phase in the initial stages of your pregnancy. Your body is going through a lot of changes and exhaustion is only a very natural outcome of it. Moms will also feel very sleepy and tired in this phase. After all your body is doing the mammoth task of making a new baby. Try and find time to power nap during the day time if possible. Do not behave like you are a super woman. Listen to your body. If you feel like resting then take some time off and rest.

It’s also ok to continue your normal routine during this time so that you stay active. There is no need to rest extra or avoid activities that you are normally used to as long as they are safe for pregnancy. For eg: If you were going to work you can continue to do so. However if you were scuba diving or playing tennis then you should avoid these activities.

Do not start a new exercise routine but if there was a routine that you were following and it is safe for pregnancy then it is ok to continue the same.

If you are not sure what to do then you can surely continue going for a walk. It is considered safe and will keep you active.

To help you relax invest in a good pregnancy body pillow that will provide comfort and support and will help you sleep better. In the first trimester you can also sleep in any position you find comfortable. Many moms can even sleep on their stomach.
