WHAT TO EAT VS WHAT TO AVOID DURING PREGNANCY

25/11/2025

🤰 UTERUS BEFORE & AFTER PREGNANCY

🔹 Before Pregnancy
• Size: ~7.5 cm long, pear-shaped
• Function: Prepares monthly for potential pregnancy
• Position: Low in pelvis

🔹 During Pregnancy
• Expands up to 500x its original size
• Stretches to fit growing baby
• Moves upward into abdomen

🔹 After Pregnancy
• Shrinks back, but slightly larger than pre-pregnancy
• Returns mostly to pelvic position within 6–8 weeks
• Some muscle tone may remain different

💛 Your uterus is amazing – it stretches, protects, and bounces back!

PLAGIOCEPHALY (FLAT HEAD) IN BABIES 👶💭

What It Is:
One side of baby’s head becomes flatter due to constant pressure on the same spot.

HOW TO PREVENT IT 🛡️💛

🌀 Tummy Time — Start a few minutes daily, increase as baby grows.
🔄 Change Head Positions — Alternate head direction when putting baby to sleep.
🪑 Limit Gadget Seats — Avoid long periods in car seats, swings, strollers.
🤱 Switch Sides When Feeding — Helps baby use neck muscles evenly.
🛏️ Encourage Looking Both Ways — Place toys on opposite sides.

WHEN TO CONSULT A DOCTOR 🩺

⚠️ Head shape not improving by 3–4 months
⚠️ Baby always looks only one direction (possible torticollis)
