Essential Products for Pregnancy that Promote a More Relaxed Lifestyle
Expectant mothers in India have a variety of essential products at their disposal, designed to support their health, well-being, and comfort throughout pregnancy. These products range from nutritional items and skincare products to supplements and maternity wear.
Nutritional Essentials
A balanced diet plays a crucial role in supporting the health of both mother and baby. Expectant mothers need increased amounts of iron, folate, calcium, DHA, and vitamin A. Good Indian dietary sources include green leafy vegetables, ragi, beetroot, citrus fruits, moong dal, milk and milk products, sesame seeds, walnuts, flaxseeds, fish like rohu and Indian salmon, carrots, pumpkin, and eggs.
Dry fruits such as almonds, dates, raisins, and figs are also popular, providing essential nutrients and helping to address high anemia rates among Indian women. Soaking these fruits overnight can enhance their digestibility and nutrient absorption.
In addition to a balanced diet, supplements like folic acid and DHA may be recommended to meet daily nutritional needs.
Skincare Essentials
Stretch marks are a common concern for many pregnant women. In India, stretch mark oils that hydrate and improve skin elasticity are popular. Common ingredients include almond and turmeric oils. Products like Forest Essentials Mother's Stretch Oil are favored for their natural, chemical-free formulations. Using such oils not only helps prevent or reduce stretch marks, but also soothes itching and keeps skin moisturized as the body changes.
Maternity Wear
Comfortable maternity wear is essential for expectant mothers. Ultra comfy maternity undies with an adjustable button design are available, as are maternity dresses and over-the-belly maternity leggings. For additional support, abdominal waistbands and body pillows designed for undisturbed sleep are also available.
Other Essential Products
Other essential products include a keepsake photo frame for ultrasound scan photographs and first clicks, a pregnancy scrapbook, and a pot of natural and vegan nipple cream. For those seeking guidance and activities during pregnancy, books like "Pregnancy Notes: Before, During And After" by Rujuta Diwekar and "The Big Fat Activity Book For Pregnant People" are available.
A wedge pillow, peppermint tea for morning sickness and nausea, and a snug body pillow designed for undisturbed sleep are other products that can provide comfort and relief during pregnancy.
These essentials reflect a blend of traditional Indian dietary practices and medically recommended prenatal nutrition and skincare to enhance the health and comfort of pregnant women throughout gestation.
