Myths About Exercising When Pregnant

There once was a time when women were urged to refrain from physical activity during pregnancy. Luckily, many medical and fitness experts have spent time studying exercise during pregnancy, and it has been found that there are many benefits for women and their unborn child. However, there are a lot of pregnancy exercising myths out there to be aware of:

Myth: Abdominal Workouts can be Dangerous During Pregnancy

Strengthening your core, especially your pelvic floor, can help aid during the labor and the delivery of your child. Although if you are in your first trimester it is recommended to avoid exercises on your back, try seated breathing, contracting, and releasing the abs and pelvic tilts while standing.

Myth: Exercising can Take Nutrients Away From Your Baby

A common pregnancy exercising myth debates whether or not babies will be deprived of nutrients if moms exercise during pregnancy. Exercising will not affect the nutrients your baby needs. It is important to eat frequently to keep blood sugar levels balanced.

Myth: If You Didn’t Exercise Before Pregnancy, Now is Not a Safe Time to Start

If you were not a triathlete before pregnancy, now is not an ideal time to start training. However, low impact exercises like swimming and walking are safe to do.

Myth: If You Experience Pain or Spotting, You Should Stop Exercising During Pregnancy

If you experience pain or dizziness, you should take a break from exercising until you consult your doctor. This does not mean that you have to quit exercising for the rest of the pregnancy. Pay close attention to how your body reacts while exercising and keep your doctor informed.

Myth: Pregnant Women Should Not get Their Heart Rate up Over 130

This is one of the most debated pregnancy exercising myths. Rather than focusing on the heart rate, it’s more critical to monitor your rate of exertion. Keep an eye on how hard you are working and how it makes you feel.

Make sure to consult with your doctor about exercising during your pregnancy

Ginger & Pregnancy: What Are The Benefits?

When it comes to pregnancy, it is no secret that moms often feel under the weather, especially during the first trimester.

Morning sickness and nausea are common challenges for expecting mothers, and with such a limitation on safe medications that can be taken during pregnancy, many moms struggle to find a solution.

Ginger has long been known to offer comfort to those suffering nausea, but is it safe for expecting moms? Multiple studies confirm that there are in fact benefits to ginger during pregnancy and it is safe for pregnant women to use. One study, conducted by the Chiang Mai University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2001, revealed that Ginger definitively reduced nausea for pregnant women.

Additionally, the pregnancies confirmed to have no negative effects from the Ginger. This study, among others, has helped expecting mothers feel relief and confidence in knowing that Ginger is safe to use for themselves and for baby.

The benefits of Ginger go beyond fighting nausea. Women suffering from menstrual and uterine spasms, or dysmenorrhea, have also felt relief with the help of Ginger. Studies have shown that the use of Ginger can generate smooth muscle activity in the uterus. Relief from cramps is something pregnant women, and all women, can appreciate.

Whether you prefer Ginger tea, Ginger Ale, or Ginger soup, this is one spice that you will want to keep around during your pregnancy.

What Are the Advantages of 3D and 4D Ultrasounds?

The joy parents have when seeing their baby for the first time on the ultrasound screen is one that we can’t help but feel too, no matter how many times we experience it! Watching them hear their child’s rapid heartbeat for the first time is nothing short of electrifying!

For most parents it’s the excitement of the experience that they look forward to, but the real reason to get an ultrasound is to check that the baby is healthy and developing normally. The amount of ultrasounds a woman has during her pregnancy depends on various factors (if it’s a healthy/straightforward pregnancy, the particular OB/GYN’s practice and so on).While ultrasounds are safe, it is recommended not to perform more than are medically necessary. That being said there are many reasons that getting an ultrasound is an important part of your prenatal care.

With the amazing advancements in technology and modern medicine, the information we can now obtain via 3D and 4D ultrasounds is incomparable! This has vastly improved our ability to assess your baby’s well-being. It has also allowed doctors to see more subtle changes associated with certain problems that can arise in pregnancy.

Here are some of the 3D and 4D ultrasound advantages and how they help to determine important information about your baby’s health:

• Confirm gestational age and estimated due date
• Monitor size
• Ensure sufficient amniotic fluid
• Ensure baby is in a head-down position
• Evaluate the baby’s movements
• Evaluate blood flow through the placenta

With modern technology, our state-of-the-art advanced ultrasound equipment provides 3D and 4D images of your baby. You can see the actual face of your unborn child, with every facial detail, as well as the activities that your baby is doing inside – from sleeping and thumb-sucking to kicking and laughing. Not only does this allows you to start bonding from the very beginning, you also get the peace of mind that your baby looks healthy, and if your pregnancy is challenging, a 3D and 4D ultrasound helps to ensure the best possible outcome.

Pregnancy is full of unknowns, but there are some areas that don’t need to be full of guesswork. We provide first-rate medical procedures so that you can have the confidence and reassurance that you are going to have a wonderful pregnancy. We hope your ultrasound appointment will be a positive and exciting experience!
