<p>&#8220;Ideally, before <a href="http://www.radiostorytime.com/health-care/how-much-calcium-per-day-is-recommended-to-consume-during-pregnancy/">pregnancy</a> do a routine Czech your eyes (the eye), blood pressure and kidneys. It&#8217;s very important to maintain glucose levels within normal range every day. Before each meal than 100mg/dl two hours after each meal between 140 and 150mg/dl .. It means you have to measure yourself many times in one day!</p>
<p>You must keep your glycosylated hemoglobin than 6%, we know that sometimes this is hard, but remember that if you really want.</p>
<p>Do a little exercise will help you a lot, I highly recommend swimming and water if they&#8217;re not very good walk also suit you.</p>
<p>As always a balanced diet is very important, remember to make 5 meals a day in small portions is very good, consult your nutritionist.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many women to become pregnant are concerns regarding their state of pregnancy and sports, the most common questions that are often made sport I can do while pregnant? Should I? What kind of exercises should I do?.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://z.about.com/d/pregnancy/1/0/1/c/3/iStock_000004345458XSmall.jpg" alt="Exercise and pregnancy" width="467" height="309" /></p>
<p>Past <a href="http://www.radiostorytime.com/category/health-care/during-pregnancy/" target="_blank"><strong>pregnancy</strong></a> was considered as a disease. In cases where family finances permitting, the woman was confined to an almost absolute rest. Now, with existing control techniques, the possibility of exercising <a href="http://www.radiostorytime.com/tag/healthy-pregnancy/" target="_blank">during pregnancy</a>, not only is not contraindicated, but is recommended.</p>
<p>There are women who have never done sports and being in this state really knows what to do and we are also women who do do sports regularly and want to be pregnant despite continuing to do so.</p>
<p>First of all, it is essential that pregnant women consult with your doctor whether the type of exercise you want to do is recommend as his physical condition and the conditions of pregnancy. Not in all cases it is possible to practice sports.</p>
<p>If you exercise longer before becoming pregnant, consultation with the coach or the doctor&#8217;s fitness center is designed to determine whether to change any habit or exercise.</p>
<p>It is important that the monitor of the class or the caretaker of the facilities (pool, weight room, etc), know that you&#8217;re pregnant, not only to advise to perform the exercise, but if something goes wrong succor.<br />
Recommended physical activity during pregnancy<br />
<strong><br />
pregnancy and exercise</strong></p>
<p>It is always advisable to start walking. 3 to 4 days a week for 30 minutes helps to have well toned legs. Even in the first 3 months you can take classes such as aerobics or activities for smooth steps. Later you should avoid any activity that involves jumping. The bike is also a good option.</p>
<p>Because hormones widen your ligaments and vary the behavior of your body, do not be brave. Your body will gradually be the one who was and will have to adapt to it.</p>
<p>If not exercised before being pregnant, now is the time to start practicing simple drills and regular. First, determine at what level you are and what exercises you think would like to accomplish. It is best to start with a few short sessions to gradually increase its frequency and duration.</p>
<p><span id="more-76"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.radiostorytime.com/health-care/weight-gain-during-pregnancy-how-many-kilos-is-expected-to-increase/" target="_blank"><strong>Can I do weights?</strong></a><br />
Yes you can. But here it carefully you should go and have a good professional to guide you. Weight lifting is obviously lower than you would normally, execution speed must be slow and never hold your breath. Will monitor not push your abdomen, or indirectly exercises that load the area of the body.<br />
Important considerations</p>
<p>- Well hydrated.  Drink every 15-20 minutes will help prevent dehydration and to maintain constant body temperature.</p>
<p>- Despite being pregnant are highly recommended abdominal exercises. But here it is essential that a professional at your side.</p>
<p>- Consider more exercise as a routine in your life. Think it is very important to prepare for heavy recent months and for the marathon of labor. The fitter you are during the first two quarters, more manageable will be the last, delivery and recovery.</p>
<p>- Be especially careful with the messages your body sends you. This is changing, and an exercise routine that was two days ago, today can be dangerous.</p>
<p>- Take plenty of fluids before and during exercise, and make frequent stops.</p>
<p>- Avoid exercise when the temperature is high and has high humidity.</p>
<p>- Stretch and warm at the beginning and end of the session, paying particular attention to the linkage.</p>
<p>- During the last two quarters, it avoids being too long lying on your back, and which can decrease blood flow to your baby.</p>
<p>- When getting up from a lying position, do it in stages. First get on your side, then lean on the elbow and hand the other side to withstand the weight of your body. Merge helping both hands to a sitting position and once so, put both feet on the ground and with hands on knees, get up slowly.</p>
<p>- Measure your heart beating. Count them for ten seconds and multiply by six. They should pass 150 per minute, or what is the same, 25 every 10 seconds.</p>
<p>- If you do cardio, resistance, try not to go beyond 75% of your maximum. For this, a heart rate monitor will be much help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The need to prescribe drugs to any young woman asks the doctor, be it clinical or specialist gynecologist, problems regarding the possibility of a <a href="http://www.radiostorytime.com/tag/pregnant-women/" target="_blank">pregnant woman</a> found in front, who may or may not know your situation. What would obey such a problem?</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://a.abcnews.com/images/Health/pd_pregnancy_drugs_070627_mn.jpg" alt="Pregnancy and drugs" width="320" height="240" />Do not forget that when given a drug to a <strong>pregnant mother</strong>, it also acts, in a variable manner, on the embryo or fetus, who is a subject in active, continuous and dynamic change, physiological characteristics make it particularly sensitive to the action of all substances which cross the placenta. That is why it is essential to tell your physician the possibility or the certainty of a <a href="http://www.radiostorytime.com/category/health-care/during-pregnancy/" target="_blank">pregnancy</a>, if he omitted question about it. We know today that many factors contribute to the negativity that the drugs administered to pregnant women can have on the unborn baby. Among them we must rank the anatomical and functional characteristics of it&#8217;s own time when you are given medicines whose chemical characteristics are also vital. It is based on the foregoing, the doctor will select the type, style, time and dose of therapy chosen. Only someone who is thoroughly familiar with the biological conditions of the mother-child unit can bring to conclusion this process which seeks the good health of the mother should not cause harm to unborn child. Must be inferred from this that the self-medication, which is always risky for anyone who carries out, this is doubly damaging, the possible effect on the mother, compounded by the harmful action of a being in training, who by this condition is highly sensitive activity against external agents.</p>
<p>We believe it may be useful for understanding the influence of <strong>drugs on being pregnant</strong>, analyze what happens at different stages of gestation, from conception until birth. The embryonic period encompasses the first eight weeks and is characterized by rapid differentiation to acquire most of the anatomical features of the human species. It is the stage of formation of: organ par excellence, hence the action of external agents, both chemical (drugs) and physical (X-rays) can cause birth defects. We had already found that the ability to produce such damage (teratogenicity), varied not only according to the type of drug, but also and especially in relation to the timing of development in which he played. Thus during the first two weeks, or until the implantation of the egg or zygote, there seems to be a low susceptibility to drug action, judging from the little evidence gathered in connection with the production of malformations, could it be because the action foreign agent can cause death of the zygote. It was noted, however, that mothers who consumed lysergic acid during the period immediately following conception, gave birth to babies with malformations in the limbs, this is due to the action that this drug has on the chromosomes (particles of the nucleus carry the genes of heredity). By nesting the embryo in the uterus, at the end of the second week begins the period of very rapid differentiation in the growth of many vital organs.</p>
<p>The same is continued until the eighth week and is characterized by a high sensitivity on the part of the embryo to the action of drugs administered to pregnant women, who often ignores his status. Numerous and important organs may be affected in their development, thus giving rise to congenital malformations. Such is the case of central nervous system, some organs of the senses (sight and hearing), heart, limbs and external genitalia. The negative action can affect several organs are fully developed at that time: the case of rubella virus that can affect both the heart, eyes and ears. In other situations the action is specific to particular organs, as with thalidomide (nervous system depressant), which interferes with the development of arms and legs, while respecting the overall growth and the nervous system and circulatory system. We recall that in the 60s in Germany alone, were born more than seven thousand children with malformations due to consumption of this drug by their mothers in the first two months of pregnancy. In the fetal period, which extends from the eighth week until birth, to complete the development of structures, differentiating the various functions of many organs, which highlights the nervous system and genital tract, which adopts and characteristics of each sex. External agents can then further affect the growth and function of organs, systems and devices, with less chance of malformation.</p>
<p>As you can see, the period of greatest risk in relation to the possibilities of actions harmful to the child in his gestation period corresponds to the first weeks of a pregnancy can still be ignored. We reiterate therefore that it is absolutely essential to avoid any potential self-medication by pregnant as a result to be all women of childbearing age. Confirmed <a href="http://www.radiostorytime.com/tag/pregnancy/" target="_blank">pregnancy</a> should only be used prescription medications by physicians, which should always be advised of this situation when radiological studies indicate start drug treatments. These tips are part of the Childcare antenatal, ie that branch of medicine that deals with the child from conception until birth, always keeping in mind that no values above life itself and health, considered both as biological, such as affective, social and spiritual.</p>

The first is based especially on preventing diseases that can damage the baby is in gestation. Contraindications, however, are based on the potential damage that has any drug or drug administered during pregnancy. There is desirable to conduct a first: the appropriate vaccinations should be done before pregnancy.</p>
<p>Insist and fulfill this preventive strategy is the role of clinicians and paediatricians. The obstetrician should usually opt for plans, a high number of patients are not ideal because the query is usually performed during pregnancy. The vaccine is given routinely to pregnant women is a tetanus shot. Adequate handling eliminates the possibility of this serious condition for both mother and newborn. Its application is made after the second or third trimester of pregnancy.</p>
<p>In special situations, contact risk, vaccines can be used to avoid severe consequences in pregnancy. Each of these situations are the subject of consultation and individual considerations.</p>
<p>Also before pregnancy should know the situation against rubella (dosage of antibodies). The consequences of this disease are often serious and preventable with proper vaccination. In general, side effects caused by administration of vaccines are not high risk. However, for safety, it is advisable not to apply a vaccine containing live viruses (measles, chickenpox, measles, mumps).</p>
<p>In short, women of childbearing age should receive appropriate vaccinations prior to <a href="http://www.radiostorytime.com/category/health-care/during-pregnancy/" target="_blank">pregnancy</a>, since this is the most proactive.</p>
