Most women think that it's okay to stop exerting effort in looking beautiful during pregnancy but it's not. Pregnancy is a time when your hormones are in a rage. It is easy to be overwhelmed by new feelings, sensations, and changes in your body that make you feel not in control. Taking care of your pregnant self lets you be in control and preserve your health and beauty. It's not easy to look in a mirror with disheveled hair and dry, blotchy skin. It's also frustrating to try and fit yourself in your pre-pregnant outfits. Get rid of the idea that this is normal. What's normal is a pregnant woman embracing and enjoying her pregnancy by taking care of her body, her health and beauty.
Studies by the MRC/US Anxiety and Stress Disorders Research Unit show that babies born of happy mothers are healthier -- they are heavier, more active, and agreeable. They also absorb more nutrients from their first feedings which are essential for their nourishment. Happy mothers are also found to produce better-quality milk for their babies. Negative emotions increase the risk of developing post-pregnancy depression. This affects how a mother bonds and cares for her newborn. The best way to ward off this negativity is to preserve your health and beauty.
First, follow a healthy diet under the specifications of your doctor. Do not assume that the diet your other pregnant friend follows is right for you. Your health and beauty needs are unique. You may have deficiencies or skin care needs, which your friend's diet cannot address. Second, take supplements and vitamins according to your doctor's instructions. Never take drugs or any form of medicine without your doctor's approval. It may have adverse effects on your baby. Third, exercise lightly to avoid gaining excess weight. Expectant mothers normally gain 15-20 pounds; anything higher than that can give you a difficult delivery. Fourth, get adequate sleep and rest. Nothing is more stressful than sleepless nights because of hormones and restlessness. Make up for lost sleep during the day; your body tells you when it needs some shut-eye.
Of course, a pregnant woman's health and beauty are not limited to her physical needs. Her emotional and psychological well-being are just as important. You know that nothing boosts your confidence than being thought of and complimented as beautiful. You can easily get that goddess feeling again through modern maternity fashion. Take all those loose, tent-like dresses your mother-in-law lent you. Contemporary maternity designers are coming out with new designs that showcase your pregnant body rather than hiding it. Take advantage of your fuller cleavage and wear lower necklines. Show off your pregnant belly in stretch tops that hug your curves in solid colors. Avoid hiding in busy prints and opt for simple, understated accents and accessories. Change your hairstyle -- pregnancy is a perfect excuse to try the new pixie cut. Keep your posture straight and your feet pretty in fun flats and funky mules.
Health and beauty are essentials for a pregnant woman. Take care of yours to be better-equipped in caring for your baby. Treat your pregnancy as your time to shine with natural health and beauty. Staying healthy and beautiful during pregnancy is not only easy; it is the best thing you can do for yourself and your baby.

The harmful health effects of smoking has been
documented for many years. It has been known that
smoking is responsible for a number of ailments like
bronchitis, high blood pressure, pneumonia, lung
cancer, emphysema, and may actually shorten one's
lifespan for up to 10 years. Smokers also increase
the risk of osteoporosis, a health condition that
weakens the bones, making them prone to breakage and
other injuries. Recent studies show that smoking is
probably one of the reasons why many couples are
faced with fertility problems.
A number of studies show that smoking is also a
factor that affects sexual health. Excessive
cigarette use has been linked to difficulties in
getting and maintaining an erection. Many toxins
present in cigarettes, especially carbon monoxide,
can damage the circulatory system. The toxins from
cigarettes hinder the flow of blood to and in the
penis. Blood circulation is necessary for attaining
and maintaining an erection. Male smokers in their
30s or 40s may increase the risk of having erectile
dysfunction (ED) by almost 50 percent. Smoking
damages the blood vessels and, specifically, the
nicotine content of cigarettes narrows the arteries
that carries blood to the penis. Reduced blood flow
and pressure in in the penis may lead to erection
difficulties.
In addition, high blood pressure, an ailment that can
be developed through smoking, may lead to low
testosterone levels in men. Testosterone is a primary
male hormone that plays a crucial role in male sexual
arousal. Low testosterone levels lead to decreased
arousal and sexual performance. Toxins found in
cigarettes may harm the testes. Smoking may affect
the semen and the sperm, reducing their mobility and
quality. Men who smoke tend to have lower sperm
counts and malformed sperms than their non-smoking
counterparts.
Female infertility may also be damaged because of
smoking. Medical studies suggest that many substance
found in cigarettes may harm the ovaries. Studies
show that women who smoke or have smoked in the past
may encounter difficulties getting pregnant. The
chances of conceiving may be decreased by up to 40
percent each menstrual cycle. The longer a woman
smokes, the more difficult it would be for her to get
pregnant. The effects of smoking on sexual health
have been taken for granted all these because the
effects have been focused on the cardiovascular and
circulatory system.
Other health problems that can be encountered through
smoking may include the following:
 bad breath
 stained teeth and gums
 smelly clothes
 difficulty keeping up with friends with
sports activities
 high blood pressure increased risk of
developing cataracts
 acid taste in the mouth
 ulcer
 paler skin and more wrinkles
Understanding the adverse effects of smoking on
overall health may become a motivation for many to
quit smoking. However, quitting smoking may be easier
said than done. But because of modern technology,
there are now various products and medications that
are out in the market that are designed to help
individuals quit smoking. These products may help a
smoker cut the habit by making them more comfortable
and complacent to adjust to life without cigarettes.
Many quit smoking products are available over the
counter, it is best to seek the approval of health
professionals to clarify side effects and drug
interactions that may be developed while under
medication. With the right tools and attitude,
quitting smoking can be easier than others think.
