Pregnant Again After a Miscarriage? 6 Tips for
a Healthy Pregnancy

Introduction

Steps for Healthy Pregnancy

• Age, weight and medical conditions such as
  diabetes, thyroid or hypertension are some of the
  leading causes of miscarriage. Although these are
  not in your hands, but now that you are pregnant
  again after a miscarriage, these simple steps
  will surely help you to have a healthy pregnancy.

1. Limit your Movement

• During your first trimester, the baby transforms
  from a single fertilised cell to an embryo. It
  then attaches itself in the uterine wall. In many
  cases the embryo itself doesnt properly attach
  to the uterine wall, hence causing miscarriage.
   Additionally, other medical conditions such as
  gestational blood pressure and diabetes, you will
  be asked to limit your movement by your doctor to
  help you brave through your first
  trimester smoothly.

2. Eat Well

• Arent you feeling absolutely blessed and
  overjoyed to see your tummy slowly bulging out
  again? But your anxiety still remains intact. As
  your first and third trimester still worries you
  and happens to be a matter of major concern. To
  prevent any complications, during this delicate
  situation, the doctor will suggest you to eat
  what is right. Just remember, whatever you eat
  passes on to your baby and helps the fetal
  growth.
• Make sure your calorie intake goes up by 600, and
  you get 210 more of proteins, vitamins and
  minerals through your food consumption.

2. Eat Well

• A quick salad with green leafy veggies or
  different coloured fruits punched with some curd
  and dressed with just about a small spoon of
  honey is good to fill the would-be mammas
  stomach and make her feel satisfied with the
  nutrients. For the non- vegetarian mums-to-be, a
  power-packed food comprising of chicken, fish and
  eggs is a must-have to help maintain the nutrient
  stores.

3. Stay Hydrated

• Limit your caffeine and aerated drink intake, as
  it can make you feel thirsty and dehydrated.
  Drink plenty of water, instead. A combination of
  coconut water and lime water in two or more
  servings in a day would also be beneficial to
  keep your blood pressure low.  You can also sip
  into a few bowls of some warm broth, may be
  chicken or vegetables.

4. Say NO to Smoke and Alcohol

• A glass of wine or puff of cigarette may seem a
  cool trend these days but it has been considered
  to have a negative effect on pregnancy. Nicotine
  from cigarettes or the chemical contents of
  alcohol can rise the complications in pregnancy
  affecting the fetal growth, especially in the
  first three months, when the babys brain and
  heart starts developing. So, try to refrain
  yourself from these harmful substances not only
  during the 1st trimester but throughout your 9
  months journey.

5. Frequent Ultrasounds Scans

• Ultrasound scans to monitor the growth and the
  well-being of the fetus. If the scan shows that
  the fetus is not developing appropriately, it can
  pose a threat to the mother as well as baby.
  Pregnant women usually go for the USG scans once
  or twice a month. But in case of high-risk
  pregnancy, the doctor may want to closely tab on
  the fetal well-being thus increasing the number
  of USGs that you may undergo.

6. Keep Your Stress Level Under Check

• Since you have had an unsuccessful pregnancy
  previously, for obvious reason your stress level
  will be at all-time high. But, remember, elevated
  stress levels might lead to various complications
  like restricted fetal growth, increase in your
  blood pressure and can even heighten the chances
  of pre-term labour. So, control your stress level
  By forming a support group, where you can share
  your concerns, pursuing a hobby or by simply
  binge watching your all-time favourite movies and
  TV shows.

Conclusion

• Medical advancements have enabled doctors to keep
  a close eye on the well-being of the fetus as
  well as the mothers who have had a history of
  miscarriage. Thereby helping them to enjoy a
  healthy pregnancy and most importantly be gifted
  with a healthy baby.
