1. Prenatal Care: Schedule regular prenatal check-ups with your Midwife and GP provider to monitor your health and the baby's development.
2. Nutrition: Eat a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Take prenatal vitamins as recommended by your Midwife.
3. Hydration: Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water to help with circulation, amniotic fluid production, and overall health.
4. Exercise: Engage in safe and low-impact exercises, such as walking or swimming, to maintain your fitness and reduce discomfort.

7. Manage Stress: Practice stress-reduction techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or prenatal yoga to keep stress levels in check.
8. Educate Yourself: Take childbirth and parenting classes to prepare for labour, delivery, and caring for your newborn.
9. Support System: Surround yourself with a strong support system, including family, friends, and healthcare professionals who can offer guidance and assistance.
10. Safety Precautions: Be cautious of potential hazards, like lifting heavy objects, exposure to harmful chemicals, and taking precautions to prevent falls.
