The second trimester is often referred to as the “honeymoon phase” of pregnancy, as many women feel better during this time. Here’s how to stay healthy during this phase:
- Balanced Diet: Ensure that your diet is rich in vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, and protein. This helps support your baby’s growth and your changing body.
- Stay Active: Regular exercise is safe during this trimester, but avoid intense activities. Walking, swimming, or prenatal yoga are excellent choices.
- Monitor Weight Gain: It’s normal to gain weight in the second trimester, but aim for a gradual and steady increase. Speak with your doctor about your weight gain goals.
- Stay Hydrated and Rested: Drink plenty of fluids, and get enough sleep. Your body is working hard to support your baby’s development.
- Prenatal Visits: Continue attending regular prenatal check-ups to track your baby’s growth and to address any concerns that may arise.
