Embarazo y cómo cuidarnos

Pregnancy is an exciting, transformative and special time in a woman's life. Both physically and mentally, there are constant changes, which is why it is vital to take care of yourself and your baby in the best way possible, using natural and healthy products that will accompany you during this period, in order to guarantee your wellbeing and that of your baby.

Tips for taking care of yourself during pregnancy


Tip 1: Balanced nutrition and hydration.


Your body is undergoing a transformation to nourish and care for your baby. Opting for a diet that contains vegetables, fruits, whole grains and lean protein will help you maintain the balanced nutrition you need. In addition, it is essential to drink plenty of water to keep your body functioning properly and avoid dehydration. You can enjoy herbal teas, which will help hydrate you, as well as relieve nausea and reduce bloating.

Tip 2: Moderate exercise.


Exercise and activation of the body is beneficial to ensure wellbeing and alleviate discomfort caused by pregnancy, such as fatigue or back pain. To enhance comfort, gentle activities such as pilates, prenatal yoga, swimming or walking are recommended.

Tip 3: Adequate rest.


Pregnancy takes a lot of energy and requires adequate rest to cope. Make sure you get the 8 hours of sleep you need, and when it's time to sleep, use cushions or pillows to find the position that suits you best.

Tip 4: Skin care.


Hormonal changes during pregnancy cause your skin to experience alterations and tend to dryness and stretch marks. Opt for natural and organic products that help to moisturise and soothe your body, for example:

Moisturising body milk, with Jojoba oil and Shea Butter: Through its light texture, it offers nutrients that regenerate and heal the skin, providing hydration.

Get to milk make-up remover with Sweet Almond Oil: Almond oil is rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acids, and contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and E. This oil is perfect for moisturising, due to its penetrating and softening properties, which restore dry and sensitive skin.

Nourishing serum with green tea oil: Thanks to the formulated with organic ingredients such as green tea, the product soothes and protects dryness and cracks, providing relief. Moreover, it contains rosehip oil, which helps regenerate damaged skin cells, and increases elasticity.

 

Tip 5: Reducing stress and enhancing emotional connection


In pregnancy, you experience a variety of emotions, such as stress, in a more intense way. It is important to reduce stress by using exercises such as meditation to control your breathing, or by doing activities that help you disconnect and enjoy the moment, such as painting, reading, or listening to relaxing music. Take time to connect with yourself and the baby, and allow yourself to feel emotions or seek support when you feel like it.


Tip 6: Avoid chemicals.


Chemicals or products with toxins can be harmful to your pregnancy. Avoid harsh chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances, and opt for certified organic products.
Ultimately, pregnancy is a magical and important time in life. To live it to the fullest, you need to take time to care for and connect with your baby.


Every decision you make will help you on this precious journey!
