Rule 4: Eating Right 

Definitely, mothers turn a sweet tooth when pregnant but wait, too much is bad for your health. Your mood swings might cause growth swings for your baby.

Rule 5: Pre-Birth Vaccines

Yes, pre-birth. Of course, there would be a dozen after the baby is born, but there are certain ones that need to be given before birth. Pregnant women are exposed to the risk of flu which might be fatal for the baby. Talk to your doctor about this and make sure you have had all of them.

Rule 6: Rest Doesn’t Mean Laying On Bed 

Yes, people will tell you don’t work, take rest. That’s true only if you have severe complications in your pregnancy, if not, do not hesitate to work out, let alone carry your everyday work. Ok, now don’t hit the gym and start lifting dumbles. By workout, we mean calculated exercises, best consult with a health expert for the same.

This is generic, you can feel free to stand in front of the mirror and see your tummy bulge out what’s not okay is to find yourself uncomfortable. You might increase in a size one or two but that’s fine and do not stress yourself with it.
