Many friends around me said that I was bored and panicked at home during the epidemic, and even didn't want to play games, but I felt very happy and fulfilled at home.
I don't know if I stopped writing, but I found that I did so many interesting things during my pregnancy!
Let's have a look.
1, cooking food
Except for a little pregnancy reversal in the first trimester, I was in a state of super appetite throughout pregnancy. I ate delicious food, but I had to control my weight during pregnancy and enhance my nutrition at the same time, so many times I cooked by myself! What I do most is breakfast, because I can eat in the sun with my husband on the balcony, which will make me feel very lively.
During this period, I also compiled several breakfast recipes, and friends who want to make breakfast together can look here.
I want to have breakfast with you for seven days.
Besides steamed stuffed buns and fried dough sticks, Chinese breakfast can also do this.
A week's breakfast series will complete all the work in one pot, and lazy people can cook breakfast at home.
6+65438+ 0 methods of eating bread for breakfast every week
I also wrote an article about how to control weight by reasonable diet during pregnancy for your reference.
My Pregnancy Record 3: Precautions for Dietary and Nutritional Supplement during Pregnancy
In fact, during my pregnancy, I also signed up for the training of western pastry chefs, specializing in how to make bread, biscuits and cakes. However, due to the epidemic, I stopped my class halfway and haven't finished it yet, so I taught myself at home.
2. Learn parenting knowledge
Pregnancy is the best time for reading and studying. During this time, we should not only learn the knowledge of pregnancy, but also learn the knowledge of parenting in advance! Because when the baby is born, you will find that you have no time to read and study, or even enough time to sleep!
I only recommend you to buy two books, both of which are classic books with good reputation. Although they are published in the United States, some contents may be different from those in China, but it does not affect novice mothers' understanding of pregnancy knowledge, and the contents must be professional and reliable. Personally, I don't think you need to buy too many books during pregnancy. On the one hand, the content repetition rate will be high. On the other hand, domestic books are too easy to publish, and the content is certainly not as reliable as classic books.
Heidi's encyclopedia of pregnancy basically covers all kinds of problems that pregnant mothers will encounter during pregnancy and early postpartum, including the nutrition that needs to be supplemented during pregnancy, the examinations that need to be done, the changes that will happen to the body, and the growth and changes of the baby. Many questions can be found in this book. In addition, Sears Pregnancy Encyclopedia is also a classic pregnancy book in the United States, which is highly recommended. Just choose one of these two books to buy and study, which is very suitable for novice mothers who have their first child!
The American Academy of Pediatrics Parenting Encyclopedia is a classic, covering breastfeeding, dietary nutrition, how to help your baby fall asleep, how to train your baby to go to the toilet, how to deal with your baby's allergies and asthma, inattention, ADHD and many other aspects. This is a very authoritative encyclopedia of parenting.
Step 3 do manual work
Handmade by pregnant mothers is actually a kind of prenatal education. I started making all kinds of small crafts when I was pregnant in April. At that time, the baby's hearing was basically developed, and he could hear some external sounds and began to feel fetal movement. Talking to the baby while doing manual work can promote his brain development.
The small crafts I made during my pregnancy included origami cranes, campanula and braided bracelets.
In addition, I also made a super complex handmade work, but it is also the most meaningful one, that is, I personally made an early education cloth book for my baby!
The prototype of this cloth book is my first book, a Montessori early education cloth book in Hong Kong. Because of its high price, it is called "children's local book".
At first, I wanted to buy a book for my baby when he was older. Later, I saw the materials of this cloth book for sale on Taobao, which means that I can buy materials myself to make cloth books!
So I made a lot of comparisons and finally got into one set (like the one in the upper left corner of the picture above). The material is a package of non-woven fabrics with patterns. You need to sew the patterns together by yourself. You can refer to the patterns given by the seller or DIY by yourself (the patterns given by the seller are basically similar to the original book), and it is a unique cloth book!
Step 4 paint
In fact, I like painting myself, but I don't have time to calm down and draw a picture after work. This time, when I can finally recover from a stroke during pregnancy, my attention will be very focused and I will feel very calm. I hope my baby can be focused and patient in the future.
In addition, I drew a set of black and white cards for the baby!
Newborns can start reading black and white cards one week after birth! In fact, all kinds of black and white cards sold online are not expensive, but it is more meaningful to draw a set of black and white cards for your baby when you are free during pregnancy!
I bought more than 20 pieces of white cardboard on a treasure (pay attention to buy rounded corners and non-reflective ones) and bought a double-headed marker at the stationery store in front of my house. It is not difficult to draw patterns. You can refer to the black and white cards sold online. Simple graphics can be shown to the baby one week after birth, and complex graphics with English names can be used to teach words when the baby is older!
Step 5 do yoga
Exercise during pregnancy is helpful to control weight and give birth smoothly. Besides daily walking, yoga and swimming are all good ways to exercise. But because swimming must go to the swimming pool, and a better swimming pool is more expensive, so I choose to do yoga at home during pregnancy.
In fact, yoga for pregnant women does not need all kinds of difficult postures, and it is more suitable for cat stretching, butterfly swimming, baby posture, squat and so on. But it should be noted that before doing yoga, it is best to consult a doctor to prevent risks.
Besides, I also like the pregnancy series of beautiful ballet very much! Some may be more difficult, and some are more soothing stretching exercises. You can train selectively according to your ability.
Step 6 put together a puzzle
It was inconvenient to go out during the epidemic, so I finally took this opportunity to complete my wish to puzzle with steamed buns.
We bought a box of 1000 puzzles, and spent a few days putting them together with steamed bread, framing them and putting them in the living room.
This puzzle also has a cat pattern, which can be put together with this puzzle to form a larger puzzle. We plan to buy a family to play together after Coke can play puzzles. It is really interesting!
7. Go to the movies
It is said that the key factor for a baby to look good is to keep a good mood during pregnancy!
The way I relax during pregnancy is to watch movies, especially comedies.
I recommend several high-rated movies suitable for pregnancy: Despicable Me, Home Alone, Baby Plan, Little Lori's Uncle Monkey, Spirited Away and Zootopia.
During my pregnancy, I also re-watched the gambling god series of Brother Fage and Master Xing, as well as several comedy movies of Shen Teng. Although some scores are low, they are all my personal preferences. In short, I will be happy to see them!
After a very full and happy pregnancy, I now have a lovely little girl who loves to laugh.
I hope all pregnant mothers who read this article can have a full and happy pregnancy and give birth to a smart and lovely baby!
