Between
Pregnancies
After pregnancy,
the demands of parenting can make it hard to take care of yourself.
Your body needs to rest and recover from pregnancy, as well as meet
the challenge of caring for a newborn baby! Remember,
you will have more energy to parent if you take care of yourself.
Be sure
and keep your own medical care appointments, eat a healthy diet
and find time for some physical activity on a regular basis.
If you plan
on having more pregnancies, discuss optimum pregnancy timing with
your doctor. Allowing your body to recover from one pregnancy before
becoming pregnant again can help you have another healthy outcome.
This is
especially true for women who have had a complicated pregnancy,
are very young, or who already have had several children in close
succession.
