Here I have listed some valuable care and tips for women during pregnancy

* Drink lots of liquids to prevent dehydration during labor. Drink at least 8 - 10 glasses of water each day but special care should be taken in summer pregnancy.
* When a women is going through labor pain, gently rubbing the back will relax her and feel good to making contractions more effective.

Walking in between contractions facilitate easy labor.
* Regular popping a prenatal multi-vitamin supplement along with dinner checks nausea.
* Pregnancy makes you more sensitive to odors, strong fragrances and sudden motion, etc.
* Usually the pregnant women’s feet and legs swells. So walk often and sit with your feet up supporting them on a stool.
* Cramps in feet are common problem so to reduce cramping place pillows under your knees and feet while you are sleeping.
* Wearing seat belts while driving or traveling by car is must. Care should be taken while wearing it. The bottom strap of belt should be worn across your hips instead of your abdomen.
* Regular exercise, even walk during pregnancy can benefit a pregnant woman. The discomfort and fatigue can be combated. If you do a permissible amount exercise during pregnancy, the labor is much easier and recovery is faster too.
* Don’t keep your stomach empty. Keep some crackers with you and eat some of it as you wake up. This will take over morning sickness.
