Pregnancy is in no way easy. The constant mood change, back pain, and all the extra weight can make you feel tired. Moreover, you‘re soon going to become a mother, and that‘s a completely new challenge in your life.

Today we‘re sharing some very needed life hacks for health if you’re a pregnant woman. These will help you to get a better night‘s sleep and prepare for the upcoming challenges of motherhood!

1.      Use Peppermint Essential Oil to Ease Urination

Urinating during pregnancy can truly become difficult due to vaginal swelling. While it’s completely natural and a lot of pregnant women deal with it, it can be relieved with peppermint essential oil.

This clinical research has shown that this essential oil can successfully help to release urine. So, simply add a little bit of peppermint oil to the toilet water and let it evaporate. It will stimulate the urethra and help the urine to come out.

2.      Get a Recliner

A comfortable recliner chair can be life changing both when you’re pregnant and post pregnancy. It can give you a very much needed comfort to fall sleep, massage painful spots and help you relax.

Recliners usually rock, so they’re good for mothers when they try to get their babies to fall asleep. These chairs are also comfortable for feeding. So, you can have a very much needed time with your child in this chair.

Here are some of the best recliners to choose from. Depending on what you want from it, whether it’s a good massage or just comfort, you can choose what fits you best.

3.      Use a Strap Maternity Belt to Relieve Back Pain

Due to all the extra weight in the front part of your body, back pain is very common when you’re pregnant. It’s actually not bad news because it’s an indication that your baby is growing.

Nonetheless, there are multiple ways you can alleviate that pain. Some of them are more obvious: exercising and keeping a good posture. However, sometimes these are not enough to stay pain-free.

Try using a strap maternity belt to give some extra stability to your back. It’ll also help you improve your posture which then results in the reduction of back pain. Also, you can easily hide the strap behind your clothes. So, nobody will notice.

4.      Take Time Breathe

Deep breathing has multiple benefits. It helps you to become more mindful of your surroundings and release all the worries of the day.

It’s very much a stress reliever, so it can help you to feel like yourself when you’re having a bad day. In addition to that, it can also contribute towards reducing nausea which is so common amongst pregnant women.

Thus, take your time, slow down and focus on your breathing. It’s very important to have a bit of ‘’me’’ time to feel like yourself again.

5.      Eat More High-Water Content Foods

Having to pee often is a tiring problem. Especially when you’re pregnant. Thus, you might all together give up on drinking water.

That’s completely natural and understandable. However, you still need to stay hydrated. Thus, you should try and trick yourself into getting more water into your body by eating high-water foods.

Some of these foods are watermelon, strawberries, cucumbers, iceberg lettuce, oranges, green peppers, and celery. Also, eat more soup if you may.

It’s a good way to consume water without truly thinking about it. That’s especially because if peeing so often is a fear of yours you might program yourself into thinking that you have to pee just because you’ve drunk some water. It truly doesn’t have to be that way.

6.      Use Epsom Salt Foot Baths More Often

Swollen feet are another common problem when you’re pregnant. Especially now that your body is more likely to retain the water. Give yourself a relaxing foot bath to reduce the bloat.

You can also add a little bit of lavender essential oil to relax and feel in harmony with your body. Also, a good scent can truly improve your mood sometimes! And, there is nothing more important than a happy mother to be!
