✨😔🤰Los errores y aprendizaje durante mi primer embarazo😔✨🤰. [Esp][Eng]

Hello dear friends dear #hive and @motherhood moms and dads. Today sharing my mistakes, experience and learning during my first pregnancy.

When I was young I dreamed of having children and a big family, not knowing the care and responsibilities of this desire. But that's how it is, our time comes and we live it with emotions, mistakes and also happiness.

In my case, I had completed my studies and was about to graduate as a professional; I met my husband. We decided to get married and soon after I became pregnant. I had little knowledge about the care I had to take in relation to nutrition during this important stage. I affirm it today, since it was determinant in the health problems that generated me.

My medical controls were normal and I complied with the medications or vitamins recommended by my doctor. Out of ignorance, I consumed a series of foods that I loved, but they were loaded with a high proportion of refined carbohydrates. In addition to other foods with high sodium content, among them: salty snacks and sweets.

At that time I had no knowledge of pregnancy care. What I had in my mind were the things that other people told me and what the doctor recommended during my check-ups, which were very basic things.

During the middle of my pregnancy I started to have problems with fluid retention and high blood pressure. The weight gains each month were more than normal. So the last two months were critical and of absolute rest. So much so that the doctor came to my own house to check me.

It should be noted that I followed a low-salt diet and reduced refined carbohydrates in part. Despite all that, I did not improve as expected. To make matters worse, the doctor explained to me at that time, the effects of this condition for my baby.

Those were very worrying moments. When the time came, I could not give birth and I had to have a cesarean section. I began to leak fluid and high blood pressure. Thank God my daughter was born well. I was left for three more days because I had preeclampsia.

I wanted to share this experience because of the importance of physical and psychological preparation before, during and after pregnancy. It is not only the desire to have children but also the care of our body when we want that loved one that will bring us happiness.

To all women and men who want to become parents, I would like to point out some aspects and lessons that I have learned from my experience.

• In order to procreate, we must be in generally good health. Since it will be decisive in the formation, development and birth of a healthy baby that will come into our lives.

• To document, to investigate, to consult specialists about the key nutrition before, during and after pregnancy. It is essential to handle valuable information.

• Pregnancy care is the responsibility of the father and the mother, so there must be collaboration and emotional support in all aspects.

• There are several cares that we must take when we are pregnant. They should always be based on the recommendations of specialists and comply with them without exception.

• Prenatal control is essential. Go to the periodic evaluations and take the tests that are indicated in a timely manner. Prevention is the best way to avoid complications and major problems.
