First, let’s start from the most common don’ts! And the first one that comes to my mind that can be pretty soon forgotten is to don’t shop for maternity clothing too soon or too late! I mean, if your belly is pretty small and you can fit into your non-maternity clothing – then don’t shop for it at all! Shop only then you can’t really fit into your clothing or you see that you won’t fit in there soon.
Also – don’t wait too long. If you walk around in your ordinary clothing for too long, you will be and look uncomfortable. And don’t plan purchasing clothing into the future – you might grow out of it pretty soon and all those investments are not going to pay off.
Another don’t is not to sacrifice fashion! I mean, don’t you forget that you can be utterly stylish and fashion-forward for those nine months! Forget about your husband’s old clothing and embrace yourself in real and amazing maternity clothing. Especially if they are worldly known and really high-quality. For instance – Nordstrom is one of these stores. And right now you can shop for all excellent quality maternity clothing much cheaper since Nordstrom coupons from ChameleonJohn.com exists! So in fact you can even save some money and be stylish while pregnant! That is what all fashionistas wish for!
Now if you want some real forgotten do’s here they are! First – do make a great health care plan for pregnancy. That should consist of many vitamins and minerals you need to take during this period. Of course, your doctor is going to recommend doing it for you, but it is recommended and not mandatory. So – absolutely do it!
Also, do talk about pre-existing conditions and family history too. I mean, talk with your doctor about stuff like diabetes, herpes (and other STDs), heart problems, epilepsy and high blood pressure. That might change your diet and vitamins routines. And you should not forget to mention all that if your doctor doesn’t ask you first.
Finally, since there are, and still going to be, a lot of pregnancy high and lows, you should always try to stay positive! It will actually help you deal with all the pain and make your whole pregnancy much better too! It is all psychological, and it always works! So just surround yourself in a positive environment. It can help you relax and enjoy your pregnancy better and it can also flood your baby with pleasant emotions. That makes him or her happy too!
