In the first series of the diary called “Relaxation”, which is already available on the channel, Ekaterina Tokareva argues that a calm and happy baby is the dream of every expectant mother, and her task is to provide a child with peace. Below are tips on how to achieve this. Walk more. The way home from work and back does not count! Walking does not allow blood to stagnate in the muscles, so take time, for example, at bedtime, to stretch the muscles and start all the metabolic processes in the body. Drink water. A glass in the morning will start the metabolism and help the body to wake up. Do not exclude physical exertion, if engaged before pregnancy, and watch your form. Pregnancy is not a reason to relax and forget about yourself.4. Try to eliminate sources of stress. Just tune in that you have one and the baby too, and let any negative pass by. It is important to understand that the state of the baby strongly depends on the mental health of the mother. Focus on the essentials and do not allow yourself to get annoyed over trifles. Find an activity that inspires and gives you the opportunity to relax. This could be drawing, reading, music, or something else. Ask your husband to give you a massage, because it is very relaxing. In addition, the extra time alone will bring you, husband and child even more together.7. Try new. For example, as a useful exercise and relaxation, you can begin to attend special classes for pregnant women, for example, go on a yoga course. But be careful here, yoga has its own rules for pregnant women. Basic rules of yoga for pregnant women Yoga for pregnant women differs from traditional exercises by a set of special exercises that take into account the “special position”. In such exercises, emphasis is placed on training and staging breathing, maintaining the physical shape of the future mother, eliminating anxiety and creating a feeling of peace and harmony. What we need! During classes, the blood flow also improves, the body is saturated with oxygen, the spine is relieved, tissues and joints become more elastic, which is important during pregnancy. Yoga can be practiced from the first month of pregnancy, after consulting a doctor. Contraindications to training can be increased blood pressure, hypertonicity of the uterus, problems of the cardiovascular system or the musculoskeletal system. But in any case, yoga should be done carefully, calmly and moderately, without striving for the intensity of posture. It is better to avoid twisting, backbending from a prone position, squeezing in the abdomen and groin area, sharp upsurges and jumping. avoid the problem of varicose veins; copes with light inverted asanas well. Sitting in a sitting position with an open chest will help avoid the most unpleasant second-trimester satellite of pregnancy - heartburn. It is good if there are exercises in the complex for strengthening the body, relieving stress from the back and lower back. In the last three months of pregnancy, it is recommended to avoid standing postures in order not to increase the excessive load on the legs, deep bends forward, strong body bends to the sides and positions exercises lying on his back, in order to avoid squeezing a large vein. In general, yoga in the third trimester should be aimed at calming and relaxing, training proper breathing techniques and alleviating the state of heaviness in the lower back, legs and back.
