As social distancing and staying at home have become the "new normal" in the current scenario, it is important for pregnant women to keep a calm mind, continue their checkups with doctors on online sessions, and be open about their concerns, say experts. "With all the uncertainty around, one of the best things that you can do is be positive and practice ways that will help ensure your and your baby's well-being," said Dr. Prathibha Babshet, ayurveda Expert, R&D, The Himalaya Drug Company.

 

"This is possible by taking care of your mental health and keeping a calm mind. Pregnancy during the pandemic is certainly hard but not impossible. It is advisable to stay home as much as possible to avoid crowded spaces and follow social distancing and hygiene guidelines," she said. While pregnancy care may look a little different now than it used to earlier, here are a few tips to approach these changes:

 

Try to establish a daily routine of activities in a way that it becomes a new normal in your life. From your diet, meditation, and yoga, to skin care, getting adequate sleep, and regular medical checkups, make a list of all the things you do in a day and prioritise them. If you need to step out for work or a checkup, remember to maintain social distancing and wear a mask and carry a sanitizer, as this can help reduce the risk of exposure to germs and bacteria.
