Feeling extra thirsty during pregnancy? Your bod

Feeling extra thirsty during pregnancy?

Your body is working overtime to grow a tiny human, and staying hydrated is a must to keep you (and baby) feeling good! 💦

✨ Why it matters:

🫗 Your body needs 50% more blood for baby’s growth, and water keeps things moving.

🫗 Amniotic fluid cushions and regulates temperature. Stay hydrated to keep levels up!

🫗 Drinking more helps prevent puffiness in your hands and feet.

🫗 Keeps digestion smooth and flushes out bacteria.

🫗 Pregnancy makes you heat up faster—water helps cool you down!

But how do you know if you’re drinking enough? Your body will give you clues! 💡

Dark yellow urine, headaches, dizziness, dry skin, and chapped lips can all be signs that you need to up your water intake.

Feeling extra exhausted or dealing with frequent UTIs could also be signs of dehydration.

Aim for at least 9 cups (2.3L) per day—even more if it’s hot or you’re active.

A simple way to check? Pale urine means you're hydrated, dark urine means it's time to drink up!

🌟 Bonus tip: Coconut water & herbal teas help boost hydration without added sugar.

Hydration = happier pregnancy & smoother recovery!

Pregnancy insomnia? Yeah, it’s a thing. 😖😖

Pregnancy insomnia? Yeah, it’s a thing. 😖😖

If you’re in your third trimester and struggling to fall (or stay) asleep, you’re not alone—between baby kicks, back pain, and just feeling huge, getting rest can feel impossible. 😵‍💫

A few things that might help:

🛏️ Pregnancy pillows – The ultimate sleep sidekick! They help support your belly, back, and hips so you’re not waking up sore and uncomfortable every hour.

🌿 Lavender drops on your pillow – A few drops of lavender oil can do wonders for relaxation. Think of it as a little nighttime ritual to help you unwind.

🦵 Magnesium for leg cramps – Nothing ruins sleep faster than those sudden, painful spasms!

🍽️ Watch what you eat at night – Spicy or heavy foods can lead to reflux, making sleep even harder.

What if I told you that what you eat during pregnancy could boost your baby’s brainpower? 🤯

Here are five must-have superfoods to include in your pregnancy diet 👇

🐟 Salmon – Packed with DHA, an essential omega-3 that plays a key role in baby’s brain and eye development. Aim for 2–3 servings of low-mercury fish per week!

🍳 Eggs – One of the best sources of choline, which plays a big role in memory and learning. Plus, they’re quick, versatile, and an easy way to get a nutrient boost—scrambled, boiled, or in an omelette!

🥬 Spinach – Leafy greens like spinach provide iron and folate, helping oxygen flow to the baby’s brain. If you’re not a fan of salads, blend some into a smoothie or stir it into soups for a nutrient-packed meal!

🌰 Walnuts –A crunchy, plant-based snack rich in omega-3s that help brain cells grow and function. Toss them into yoghurt, oatmeal, or trail mix for an easy brain-boosting bite.

🥣 Lentils – Loaded with protein, iron, and folate, all essential for neural development. They also help keep energy levels stable, making them a great addition to soups, curries, or salads!

What you eat now helps lay the foundation for your baby’s future brainpower! 🍽️✨ Which of these are already on your plate?

Motherhood is full of moments that test you in ways you never expected. The sleepless nights, the endless feeding sessions, the moments of self-doubt… and yet, you keep going.

You find strength in places you didn’t know existed. You show up for your baby, even on the hardest days. You adapt, you learn, you grow 🤰
