PREGNANCY DO'S AND DON'TS

ALCOHOL & SMOKING

Did you know that a pregnant mother should not drink any alcohol during the first trimester because during this period all the vital organs are formed in the foetus?

In addition, drinking alcohol during the first trimester can cause miscarriage and stress. 

Smoking can cause premature babies AND - it can cause anxiety in later childhood.

OVERWEIGHT

If a pregnant mother is overweight, she is in danger of high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, and a fatty, sugary diet has a negative impact on the foetus. 

EXERCISE

Exercise during pregnancy is very important to get the body used to the work it will have to do during the birthing process.
