4 Tips To Enjoy Your Pregnancy & Post-Natal Months With More Energy & Fewer Aches

May 13, 2023 Posted by Dr. Stephanie Garcia, PT, DPT, ATC, CSCS Acupuncture, Ankle & Foot, CrossFit, Elbow & Hand, Fitness & Performance Training, Health & Wellness, Hip, Back & Core, Injury Prevention, Knee, Massage Therapy, Neck, Physical Therapy, Recovery Techniques, Running, Shoulder, Warm Up & Mobility, Youth Athletes

Pregnancy is both an exciting and challenging time for women. On one hand, you get to experience the joy of creating new life and nurturing your baby inside you. On the other hand, you may also experience various physical and emotional discomforts that can affect your energy levels and overall well-being. 

This Mother’s Day, I’m here to explore with you some tips on how to enjoy your pregnancy and post-natal months with more energy and fewer aches.

#1: Stay Active

Staying active during pregnancy can help reduce aches and pains and boost your energy levels. Activities such as walking, swimming, yoga, and prenatal exercise classes are great ways to stay active. Consult one of our doctors of physical therapy at Sports Performance to determine the best type and intensity of physical activity for you.

After giving birth, start with gentle exercises such as pelvic floor exercises and walking. Gradually increase your activity level as you feel comfortable. It’s important to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard.

#2: Eat a Balanced Diet

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is essential during pregnancy and post-natal months. Focus on consuming a variety of nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

After giving birth, your body needs extra nutrients to heal and recover. Consider including foods such as salmon, eggs, leafy greens, and nuts in your diet as they are rich in nutrients that can support post-natal recovery.

#3: Prioritize Sleep

Getting enough sleep is crucial during pregnancy and post-natal months. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night. If you’re having trouble sleeping, try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or taking a warm bath before bedtime.

After giving birth, sleep when your baby sleeps. This can help you get the rest you need to recover and adjust to your new role as a mom.

#4: Practice Self-Care

Practicing self-care is essential for your overall well-being during pregnancy and post-natal months. Set aside time for activities that you enjoy such as reading, taking a bubble bath, or getting a massage. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people who can help you through the challenges.

After giving birth, it’s easy to focus all your attention on your baby. However, it’s important to also take care of yourself. Consider delegating tasks such as cooking or cleaning to family or friends so that you can take some time for yourself.

Enjoying your pregnancy and post-natal months with more energy and fewer aches requires you to stay active, eat a balanced diet, prioritize sleep, and practice self-care. Finally, be kind to yourself, and enjoy this exciting time in your life. Mothers, Sports Performance is here to help! After everything you do for your loved ones, you deserve to be taken care of, too!

As always, we hope this helps! For any questions and all suggestions, please email us at TeamSP@SportsPerformancePT.com
