Many moms change some aspect of their lifestyle while they're pregnant. Did you make any changes and if so was it easy or hard to do?
Saw a midwife regularly. Took some herbal pills to help me sleep. Got a massage everynight from my boyfriend which put me to sleep.
Pregnancy was such a wonderful gift for me. As soon as my husband and I decided to start trying, I made a ton of lifestyle changes. I immediately started to eat better and exercise more. I paid more attention to my bodies rhythms. Once I was actually was pregnant, I was super diligent about everything that I ate and drank. I changed over to completely organic foods and gave up , almost completely all junk food. The biggest change for me, was giving up my night owl ways. I loved late night TV, but pregnancy is not conducive to staying up late. So resting became a huge part of my pregnancy.
I went from owning many exotic dangerous animals to as soon as I found out I was pregnant getting rid of ALL of them because safety, which became my biggest concern in everything. I also ditched the mohawk and grew my hair out and took out my ear gauges. All because I want to be a good role model as a mother which is now the most important role that I have.
I stopped drinking caffeine, that was a major one for me. I drank caffeine all the time (I worked as much as I could and slept very little - thought caffeine helped me). Now I can't drink caffeine, it makes me sick.
