8. Get emotional and material support – You will require lot of emotional support throughout your pregnancy. So don’t hold back to ask favors from your friends and family. Having heart to heart talk with other mothers can be really cathartic and stress relieving. In addition don’t hesitate to enjoy maternity-specific items like pregnancy pillow, swollen feet relief, pregnancy journal, nursing pads etc. This will make your journey through pregnancy comfortable and enjoyable for sure.

9. Routine work can be an ideal diversion – There is a misconception that you have to rest throughout the day when you are pregnant. In fact, you need some routine work to be active, fit and healthy. It also keeps anxiety and illness away. You only have to ensure that you are not doing any stressful or strenuous work as that can harm the development of your baby.
