It is important to stay protected from COVID-19 and even more if you are nurturing a life inside you. Pregnant mothers are also responsible for their baby’s health so it is important to completely adhere to the guidelines to minimize the chances of coronavirus infection.
Many mothers are worried about their baby’s health as there is limited progress and the research is still ongoing.
Here are some tips that can help pregnant mothers to keep themselves protected.
Stay aware
Make sure you are aware of your surroundings and gain as much information as possible from credible sources. Be aware of the symptoms and speak to your doctor if you experience any trouble in breathing. While educating yourself, make sure you keep your mental state in check as worrying too much about it will not be best for you and your baby’s health. Don’t trust on social media information and always ask your doctor.
Don’t touch your face
The virus can enter your system through the respiratory tract so make sure you don’t touch your mouth and face unnecessarily.
Avoid crowded places
To minimize the risk, even more, make sure you don’t step out of your house as the risk of contracting the virus in public places is quite high. If you still have to go out, don’t step out without a mask and maintain a 1-meter distance from people.
Eat nutritious foods
Take care of yourself and include immunity-boosting food in your diet. Make a balanced diet your top priority as eating nutrient-packed food items will give your body strength to fight off infections and diseases. Don’t miss on your medicines.
Stay informed but if too much information is overwhelming for you, it is okay to cut some of it out. Take care of yourself and your health and take help from your healthcare provider in case of an emergency.
