                     Eight Points to Keep your Pregnancy 
Healthy
Healthy Pregnancy Tips
 During pregnancy, you 
need to care more about 
your unborn baby. There 
are certain things that 
may lead to health 
hazard such as birth 
defects. The birth defect 
occurs in the babies 
when they are in the 
mother’s womb. It may 
cause due to any 
genetic condition or way 
of lifestyle. 
Healthy Pregnancy Tips 
 Another important thing is that you must opt for 
your baby’s stem cell preservation. This will help 
in securing the health of the baby for a lifetime. 
The stem cells harvested from the umbilical cord 
blood of the baby and are preserved at -196°C. 
These stem cells can be retrieved when it is 
needed for treatment.
 To keep your foetus healthy you must maintain the 
proper lifestyle, for that keep in mind about the 
following :
1. Do Not Consume Alcohol
 Consuming alcohol is 
harmful to the 
pregnant woman and 
the baby that may 
cause Foetal Alcohol 
Syndrome (FAS). This 
syndrome leads to 
abnormalities such as 
poor growth of the 
baby, congenital 
diseases and 
impaired 
development of the 
brain.
 If the expectant 
mother consumes 
alcohol then it gets 
absorbed in the 
bloodstream. It then 
passes through 
placenta and enters 
directly into the baby.
2. Prohibit Smoking 
 Before conceiving 
you must quit 
smoking as it may 
cause harmful 
effects on the 
unborn baby. It 
may cause 
premature, 
Sudden Infant 
Death Syndrome 
(SIDS), cleft lip or 
palate and low 
birth weight.
3. Prevent Infection
 Infection can occur from 
uncooked foods, raw dairy 
products, etc. Any 
infection during 
pregnancy can lead to 
birth defects in the 
unborn baby. 
 After birth, the baby 
might suffer from 
jaundice, hepatitis, the 
lesser size of the baby 
and intellectual disability.
4. Take Supplements
 You must increase 
the intake of iron 
because if the 
amount of iron 
decreases then it 
may lead to 
abnormality in the 
functioning of the 
brain as well as 
the spinal cord.
5. Healthy Lifestyle 
 During pregnancy 
diabetes and 
obesity must be 
controlled 
because blood 
sugar level in the 
newborn babies 
becomes low. This 
may cause 
lethargy, lung or 
heart failure, 
heart diseases, 
etc.
6. Sufficient Fluid Intake
 Drink at least 6 to 
8 ounce glasses of 
fluid per day to 
provide proper 
blood circulation 
in the body. This 
will help in 
passing the blood 
from the mother 
to the baby 
through the 
placenta.
7. Get Complete Sleep 
 Ample sleep of 7 – 
9 hours is very 
important for both 
you and your 
baby. However 
while sleeping try 
to sleep on your 
left side as it will 
improve the flow 
of blood to your 
body and your 
child.
8. Do Not Take Stress 
 Reducing your level of 
stress is very important 
for the improvement of 
growing baby. As much 
as possible a pregnant 
woman must avoid the 
stressful situation by 
the help of your spouse, 
family or friend.
