Many friends around me said that I was bored and panicked at home during the epidemic, and even didn't want to play games, but I felt very happy and fulfilled at home.
I don't know, but I found that I did so many interesting things during my pregnancy!
Let's have a look.
1, cooking food
Except for a little pregnancy reversal in the first trimester, I was in a state of super appetite throughout pregnancy. I have eaten delicious food, but I have to control my weight during pregnancy and enhance my nutrition at the same time, so I often cook by myself! What I do most is breakfast, because I can eat in the sun with my husband on the balcony, which will make me feel very lively.
During the period, I also compiled several breakfast recipes, and friends who want to make breakfast together can have a look here.
I want to have breakfast with you for seven days.
Besides steamed stuffed buns and fried dough sticks, Chinese breakfast can also do this.
A week's breakfast series, make a pot of everything, lazy people can make breakfast at home.
6+ 1 Method series of eating bread for breakfast every week
I also wrote an article about how to control weight by reasonable diet during pregnancy for your reference.
My Pregnancy Record 3: Precautions for Dietary and Nutritional Supplement during Pregnancy
In fact, during my pregnancy, I also signed up for the training of western pastry chefs, specializing in learning how to make bread, biscuits and cakes. However, due to the epidemic, I stopped class halfway, and I haven't finished it yet, so I taught myself at home.
2. Learn parenting knowledge
Pregnancy is the best time to study. During this time, we should not only learn about pregnancy, but also learn about parenting in advance! Because when the baby is born, you will find that there is no time to study or even sleep!
I only recommend you to buy two books, both of which are classic books with good reputation. Although it is published in the United States, some contents may be different from those in China, but it does not affect novice mothers' understanding of pregnancy knowledge, and the contents must be professional and reliable. Personally, I don't think it necessary to buy too many books during pregnancy. On the one hand, the content repetition rate will be high. On the other hand, domestic books are too easy to publish, and the content is certainly not as reliable as classic books.
Heidi's encyclopedia of pregnancy basically covers all kinds of problems that pregnant mothers will encounter during pregnancy and early postpartum, including the nutrition to be supplemented during pregnancy, the examinations to be done, the changes that will happen to the body, the growth and changes of the baby and so on. Many questions can be found in this book. In addition, Sears Pregnancy Encyclopedia is also a classic American pregnancy book, which is highly recommended. Choose either of these two books to buy and study, which is very suitable for novice mothers who have their first child!
The American Academy of Pediatrics Parenting Encyclopedia is a classic, covering breastfeeding, dietary nutrition, how to help your baby fall asleep, how to train your baby to go to the toilet, how to deal with your baby's allergies and asthma, inattention, ADHD and many other aspects. This is a very authoritative encyclopedia of parenting.
Step 3 do manual work
Handmade by pregnant mothers is actually a kind of prenatal education. I started making all kinds of small crafts when I was pregnant in April. At that time, the baby's hearing was basically developed, and he could hear some external sounds and began to feel fetal movement. Talking to your baby while doing manual work can promote his brain development.
The small crafts I made during my pregnancy included origami cranes, campanula and braided bracelets.
In addition, I also made a super complex handmade work, but it is also the most meaningful one, which is the early education cloth book I made for my baby myself!
The prototype of this cloth book is my first book, a Montessori early education cloth book in Hong Kong. Because of its high price, it is called "children's local book".
I wanted to buy a book for my baby when he was older. Later, I saw that there were materials selling this kind of cloth books on Taobao, which means I can buy materials to make cloth books myself!
So I compared a lot, and finally got into a set (like the one in the upper left corner of the picture above). The material is a package of non-woven fabrics with patterns. You need to sew the patterns together by yourself. You can refer to the patterns given by the seller or DIY yourself (the patterns given by the seller are basically similar to the original book), and it is a unique cloth book!
Step 4 paint
In fact, I love painting myself, but I don't have time to calm down and draw a picture after work. This time, when I can finally recover from the stroke during pregnancy, my attention will be very focused and I will feel very calm. I hope my baby can be focused and patient in the future.
In addition, I drew a set of black and white cards for the baby!
Newborns can start reading black and white cards one week after birth! In fact, all kinds of black and white cards sold online are not expensive, but when I am free during pregnancy, I think it is more meaningful to draw a set of black and white cards for my baby!
I bought more than 20 pieces of white cardboard on a treasure (pay attention to buy rounded corners that don't reflect light) and bought a double-headed marker at the stationery store in front of my house. It is not difficult to draw patterns. You can refer to the black and white cards sold online. Simple graphics can be shown to the baby a week after birth, and complex ones with English names can teach words when the baby is older!
Step 5 do yoga
Exercise during pregnancy is helpful to control weight and give birth smoothly. Besides daily walking, yoga and swimming are all good ways to exercise. But because swimming must go to the swimming pool, and a better swimming pool is more expensive, I choose to do yoga at home during pregnancy.
In fact, yoga for pregnant women does not need all kinds of difficult postures, and it is more suitable for cat stretching, butterfly swimming, baby, squat and so on. However, it should be noted that before doing yoga, it is best to consult a doctor to prevent risks.
In addition, I also like the pregnancy series of beautiful ballet! Some may be more difficult, and some are more soothing stretching exercises. You can choose training according to your own ability.
Step 6 put together a puzzle
It was inconvenient to go out during the epidemic, so I finally took this opportunity to complete my wish to puzzle with steamed buns.
We bought a box of 1000 jigsaw puzzles, spent a few days putting them together with steamed bread, framed them and put them in the living room.
This puzzle also has a cat pattern, which can be put together with this puzzle to form a bigger one. We plan to buy a family to play with after Coke can play puzzles. It is really interesting!
7. Go to the movies
It is said that the key factor for a baby to look good is to keep a good mood during pregnancy!
The way I relax during pregnancy is to watch movies, especially comedies.
Recommend several high-rated movies suitable for pregnancy: Despicable Me, Lonely Home, Baby Project, Little Loli's Uncle Monkey, Spirited Away and Zootopia.
During my pregnancy, I watched the gambling god series of Brother Fage and Master Xing again, as well as several comedy movies of Shen Teng. Although some scores are very low, they are all my personal preferences. In short, I will be very happy to see them!
After a very full and happy pregnancy, I now have a lovely little girl who loves to laugh.
I hope all pregnant mothers who read this article can have a full and happy pregnancy and give birth to a smart and lovely baby!
