Hello Moms-to-Be,
It's Karen, your pelvic floor physiotherapist at Bespoke Therapy. Congratulations on this incredible journey into motherhood! As you embark on this adventure, it's only natural to have a few concerns lingering in the back of your mind. Today, let's address the top three concerns that many pregnant women share and explore how you can navigate them with confidence.
1. Prenatal Health and Nutrition
One of the primary concerns for expectant mothers is ensuring the well-being of both themselves and their growing bundle of joy. Maintaining optimal prenatal health and nutrition is key to a smooth pregnancy journey. Questions about what to eat, what to avoid, and whether you're getting enough essential nutrients can be overwhelming.
Action Step: Schedule a consultation with a healthcare provider sound in prenatal health to discuss a personalized prenatal nutrition plan. Jump onto a complimentary consult call with a naturopathic doctor or holistic nutritionist at Silver Spruce Naturpathic here in Markham (https://silverspruce.ca/). They can provide guidance on the right foods to eat, appropriate supplements, and tips for a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy.
2. Physical Changes and Discomfort
The ever-changing landscape of your body during pregnancy can bring about various physical changes and discomfort. From morning sickness to backaches, many women wonder what is normal and when it's time to seek advice.
Action Step: Join a prenatal exercise class or seek the advice of a certified fitness instructor such as a physiotherapist or a prenatal strength coach like Maria Cristini (https://www.mariacristinifit.com/). Staying active can help alleviate some physical discomfort and boost your overall well-being. Additionally, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider if you have concerns about specific symptoms.
