Talk to your baby. Sing lullabies and caress your tummy. Research has shown that this helps in good growth of the unborn baby.

A little bit exposure to mild morning or evening sun is good to get the required amounts of Vitamin D which helps in calcium absorption too. This helps in maintaining good health of your baby and especially helps in his bone growth.
13. Visit the doctor regularly
Never miss an appointment. It’s essential to visit your doctor regularly to know if all is well with your baby.
14. Sleep in the right position
It’s advisable to sleep on your side. If you sleep face down, you run the risk of hurting your baby or making him/her uncomfortable. Get yourself a maternity pillow; it really helps you to sleep better.
15. Read labels before eating
There are many products in the market which are not recommended for pregnant ladies. So be sure to read the labels before consuming any packaged food product.
16. Maintain good hygiene
Good hygiene means good health for you. Your good health means great health for your baby! Besides when you get sick, your baby too gets exposed to sickness and infections which can prove very dangerous. So take good care!

Avoid lifting weights and other hard physical labor that may harm your baby. Consult your doctor to know what you can and cannot do during pregnancy.

Do not underestimate the effect of positive thinking on your and your baby’s health. Be happy and stay positive about everything!
20. Do not take very hot bath
