Beauty and Pregnancy
During pregnancy, every woman wants special care of their appearance. Reasons are quite clear: once-chiseled figure faster and faster swims in the contours of the skin that suffers from bouts of dryness, the fat, the nails are broken, no time to grow … Such changes in appearance due to a thorough restructuring of the body, hormonal changes and the inevitable weight gain.
Facial Care. Pregnant state clearly to the face to all women, but those whose skin is prone to fat is especially. Give thanks to the female hormone estrogen. Vigorously working his way up in the body during this period, it inhibits the process of active sebum production, which immediately affects getting rid of pimples and blackheads. But those who have skin before pregnancy was normal or dry, the less fortunate – will know about you peeling, irritation and redness. The skin is particularly sensitive, allergy-prone, and the appearance of dark spots. Choose a cream based on natural plant extracts. Carefully read the product: it should not be bergamot, can provoke the appearance of dark spots, as well as soy and retinol. You can stop the election on the makeup of the series for moms and kids “- she was particularly strict quality control and the probability of occurrence of an allergy to its components is minimal.
Hair Care. In pregnancy hair differ appreciable density and luster. Hair grows faster and smaller falls. But sometimes the hair becomes dry and brittle. If you are worried about dry and brittle hair, prefer a moisturizing masks and special oils. Coloring and perming – then what we should wait. But if the roots touch up procedure is mandatory for you – choose a soft paint without ammonia. It does not contain chemicals that can cause allergies. It is necessary to choose products based on natural ingredients – henna or basma.
Nail Care. Even those women whose pregnancies were to strong, healthy nails can complain to their fragility and thinning condition. This problem occurs when the body lacks calcium or vitamins C and D. First of all, we should make up for supply of scarce materials in the body and take a complex of vitamins for pregnant women. If you are not in favor of the natural nail, which, incidentally, is now in vogue – well maintained, but short nails – make a building. Select the method of gel nails and refrain from acrylic. During the last you’ll be forced to breathe the strong chemical smell that can cause dizziness, nausea, and affect the status of the fetus. ?Deserves a separate discussion manicure and pedicure, and it is lacquered. Many nail polishes contain substances which, in principle, can have toxic effects on the baby in the womb and cause allergic reactions.
Pampering. During pregnancy, natural weight gain. Often it is accompanied by such unpleasant phenomena as cellulite and stretch marks. In this case, the matter again took hormones: as a result of their activity violated the synthesis of fibroblasts – cells that produce collagen and elastin. Not uncommon during pregnancy, and varicose veins. ?The most important thing to do is to strengthen and moisturize the skin. So feel free to use specialized creams for pregnant women: they stimulate production of collagen and elastin. Would benefit and a special massage – it is done without pressure, gentle movements and gives an incredible relaxation. Use it for natural oils – olive and sesame: they are rich in vitamins and do not cause allergies and strengthen the skin. Properly conducted a course of massage can also relieve you from edema, prevent varicose veins, relieve pain in his legs, back and waist, prevent stretch marks. ? It should give even from a relaxing massage if you suffer from any infectious disease, high blood pressure of 2-3 degrees, asthma, epilepsy, or are in the first trimester of pregnancy. In any case, should abandon the attractive salon procedures that can get rid of extra inches and cellulite. Forget about all that is associated with changes in temperature, pain, chemical reactions or exposure to the chest and abdomen.
Overweight. All pregnant women fear for their shape. Therefore, to hand weights did not shock you after you become a mother, keep those pounds under control. Proper nutrition (overeating is not enough for two and a company of soldiers is not worth it, but the lack of nutrients is absolutely contraindicated) + dosage of physical activity will not allow coming up overweight. If you can feel and does not prohibit a doctor – a moderate load will only benefit you and your child. Not overweight will actively walking on the fresh air, soft fitness, water aerobics, yoga and belly dancing. Lessons for expectant mothers are, in every school for pregnant women, where classes are conducted by experienced instructors, and the program has been developed taking into account the duration of pregnancy and characteristics of the state. So in an interesting position to shine the beauty, the expectant mother must carefully monitor their appearance. However, do not hurry: expectant mothers, many procedures are contraindicated and even dangerous.
Natural care for the child
Good care of the child requires such simple measures as ventilation, moisture, touch, movement and food, of course.
Aeration. Once we used to think that you can ventilate the room only. This, of course, very important to the air we breathe, it was a lot of oxygen, but it’s not all. Must also be aired, and skin – to periodically leave her without clothes, so that it “breathe”. So stand out toxins, so to dry a little place in the child (usually fold) if they are greasy and wet to the touch and is an excellent way of hardening children for those parents who heard about the benefits of hardening and wants to do it, but pour cold baby water until it is solved.
Aeration makes it possible to build a child’s normal temperature regulation system, and then he will be perfectly adapted to any temperature. To be a good “airing”, it is necessary as often as possible to keep the child naked when he was not sleeping.
Moisture, water treatments. Everyone knows that water is clean from dust, sweat, dead skin cells and other unnecessary things. The skin breathes better, improves its circulation, the body absorbs the moisture through the pores of the skin – thus improves the whole body. The child is enough to bathe once a day for clean water well, and we also wash his inguinal folds as pollution.
Absolutely no need for this water to boil, add there is something – it is we have quite enough “disinfected”. And no need to constantly swim in the grass – the grass is also a cure, so to them it is important to avoid overdosing. Also, do not get involved in detergents, because they dry the skin and wash it with bactericidal grease. It is better to use them only when serious “dirt”. Touch. Also a very important point! When the child was living in mom’s tummy, he constantly felt the touch of your skin, soft tissue of his mother’s caress on all sides. It used to it, he needs it (once Nature has created such conditions!), and when he comes, he expects that this will continue. And these touches are very important for a child to develop his nervous system and psyche, and it does not suit the cold lifeless rag called diaper, that she even painted in beautiful colors and flowers painted on it! We touch a child, when we carry him in her arms, dress, bathe, feed, make him massage, gymnastics.
Do it very gently, with love, because his skin is very close to the surface are the nerve endings, stimulating the whole body and brain development. And when we touch baby, we still deal with him: his hands, words, Soul. People are social creatures, and without communicating feel very bad.
Movement. Muscles must work to ensure that they were strong. Joints are strengthened when the muscles are active, properly developed spine, vestibular apparatus. Child needs to move yet to learn to cope with your body in gravity. We give him the opportunity to develop physically in the first place when they refuse to wear the tight swaddling and often on the hands. Plus, this can be added again, gymnastics, swimming, exercises with him.
Food. There is no doubt – the best food created by nature and each mother produced the BEST food just for her baby – its breast milk. It is best to digest and contains a full range of necessary nutrients, adapting to the needs of the child, strengthens his health. Breastfeeding – it’s also a sense of security and comfort, this communion with mother. No mixture will replace what can give mother’s milk! And the first six months of the child will have nothing else. That is, we can safely do not buy any bottles, no pacifiers, no, especially infant formula.
Yes, of course! Child needs love! You can do all this, but if it does without love, without feeling that it is very dear and wonderful man, that would be of little use. And spotted this relationship: mothers, relating to their child with love and affection, as a rule, rarely have problems with lactation, or quickly to cope with problems, they get great pleasure from intercourse with a child from touching him, from my experience of motherhood.
