Exercise during pregnancy
As we all know exercise is good for our health. But exercising during pregnancy can have some great additional benefits. Long gone are the days when midwives would tell patients just to take it easy for 9 months and get as much rest as possible, there are now sound medical reasons to endorse pregnant women exercise.
Exercise early pregnancy
As a rule of thumb, exercise should always be light in nature, particularly during the initial few weeks of pregnancy while your is still adjusting. Women that exercise regularly particularly doing strenous workouts with heavy weights should try and tone this down.

POSTNATAL DEPRESSION
Mothers are expected to love their babies straight away, and although most mothers find these feelings grow and become more intense, they may not be there at the start of motherhood. Instead, there’s a guilty feeling and sadness at feeling that way. Some experts say that there may be a hormonal cause to PND, and that women who suffer from it can be helped with hormone treatment. Mothers sometimes try to hide how they feel.
If you think that you may need help, speak to your health visitor, midwife or doctor.
It may be that the most important part of treatment for PND involves friendship and social support. However, not all experts agree about the implications of this. This involves talking to a therapist about the experience of being a mother and what went on in your own childhood and afterwards. Sometimes, motherhood touches parts of us that we had forgotten about, or hidden away.

Relief of pain during pregnancy, back pain, pain relief and options
Pain during pregnancy – It’s sensible to consider options for pain relief before labour starts; discuss what is available a few weeks in advance with your midwife and out your wishes in a birth plan. Many women like the idea of a birth without the need for drugs, but it’s good to be prepared, as you can’t predict how you’ll react when you’re in labour.
GAS AND AIR (ENTONOX)
A mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide is breathed in through a mask or mouthpiece during a contraction so that is deadens the pain at its height. You start using it as soon as you feel a contraction starting as it takes about 20 seconds to work. The baby is not affected.
