Getting Pregnant
The relationship between a mother and infant in the womb is a strong one,
but it’s also one that all mothers-to-be should understand well.
Pregnancy FAQs
It’s natural for first-time moms to have a few questions they may feel
uncomfortable asking. But it’s still important to ask them! A few pregnancy
questions moms often ask include:
● Can I still have sex during pregnancy? Yes. Most of the time
pregnant women can have sex safely without disturbing their baby. At
a certain point late in the pregnancy, however, sex may no longer be
possible.
● Can I work out during pregnancy? Somewhat. Light workouts like
non-strenuous yoga or walks are great activities for pregnant women
to explore.
● How long is a pregnancy really going to last? On average 280
days –– which is actually a little longer than nine months. But no two
pregnancies are the same!
Is it Normal if . . .?
Many women feel worried if a pregnancy deviates from the norm in any
way. Or they may feel concerned about continuing certain healthful
activities while pregnant. The good news is that there is no such thing as a
“normal” pregnancy. Some babies are delivered early. Others late. Others
via cesarean section. Some women experience intense food cravings or
morning sickness. Others have much milder symptoms. Some babies are
even born with teeth. At the end of the day, normal is such a relative term
that moms-to-be don’t need to concern themselves too much over trivial
issues. The only things that really matter are the health and happiness of
mother and child.
