Things to do
As you progress further into the pregnancy, it becomes more important than ever to nurture your baby, and the only way to do that is by taking care of yourself.
Prenatal yoga will help you reduce your stress and anxiety. It also reduces the chances of premature birth and postpartum depression.
It is more important than ever to stay hygienic. Make sure you stay clean and wash your hands multiple times.
