How to Practise Yoga during Pregnancy
During pregnancy, a qualified yoga instructor can guide you much better than any DVD or Youtube video can. What’s even better is that a specialised instructor will be able to adapt your yoga routine and yoga poses to the individual needs of your body. This will help you chalk out a yoga plan that is attuned to your physical state and stage of pregnancy. Another great advantage is that you'll meet other mums-to-be!
Here are some basic rules which should be adhered to by pregnant women when practising yoga:
Avoid any asana that requires upside-down or inverted postures, like headstands, handstands or shoulder stands
A golden rule to keep in mind when practising yoga during pregnancy is to listen to your body, and stop immediately if you experience any discomfort. The postures should also be adjusted as per your changing mood and size of the bump.
Is It Safe to Practise Yoga While Pregnant?
Yoga is not just about twisting and turning the body. When done correctly, it can be extremely beneficial, especially during pregnancy. In fact, one of the best benefits of yoga during pregnancy is that it helps you breathe and relax. This can help you adjust to the physical demands of pregnancy, labour, birth, and motherhood. Yoga calms the mind and body, providing the physical and emotional stress relief which your body needs throughout pregnancy. A lot of women also practice prenatal yoga for normal delivery in pregnancy.
Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when considering and practising yoga during pregnancy.
Prenatal yoga classes are preferable. If you prefer to continue with your regular yoga classes, make sure to tell your yoga instructor that you are pregnant and make them aware of which trimester you are in.
The body’s centre of gravity shifts after the second trimester, so make sure to use some form of support for exercises that involve balancing on your heels or toes.
When you bend forward, hinge from the hips, leading with the breastbone and extending the spine from the crown of the head to the tailbone. This will make breathing easier for you as it gives the ribs more space to move.
Make sure to keep the pelvis in a neutral position during the postures by engaging the abdominal muscles and slightly tucking the tailbone down. This can help in preventing sciatic pain which a lot of women suffer from during pregnancy.
When you have to perform postures that involve twirling, make sure to twist more from the shoulders and the back rather than the waist, which will avoid any unnecessary pressure on your bump. Do not make any sudden or deep twists.
Here is a list of poses which are considered safe for pregnant women. Please see the section on effective yoga poses during pregnancy for an in-depth understanding of safe yoga asanas for each trimester.
Butterfly stretch
Cat-Cow
Cobra (in the first trimester only if comfortable)
Seated forward bend (with modifications)
Side-angle pose
Standing forward bend (with chair for modification)
Triangle pose (with chair for modification)
What is the Best Time to Begin Yoga in Pregnancy
Your prior health history before beginning with the exercises is important. Those new to yoga and trying it out for the first time during their pregnancy must get it approved by the doctor. This is because the first three months of pregnancy are the most crucial as the chances of a miscarriage are high. This is the reason why utmost caution is important, especially during the first trimester. It might not seem so since the bump isn’t very visible, but yoga for early pregnancy and pre pregnancy yoga also require a lot of care and guidance.
The best time to begin yoga during your pregnancy is in your second trimester, which begins after 15 weeks of pregnancy. In case of an IVF pregnancy, some yoga teachers recommend waiting till about 20 weeks before starting the classes, but the relaxation and light breathing exercises can be practiced at any time.

A journey from a PCOD patient to embracing Motherhood. An unforgettable journey of a lifetime.
Motherhood, a blessing that every female eagerly waits for. But sometimes it is just a dream which is far from reality for a few females.PCOD/PCOS is becoming common nowadays and is happening to every 1 in 5 girls. This is such an issue if not addressed at the right time then this could lead to infertility.I was diagnosed with PCOD, after a couple of months of my marriage in the year 2017. Our world suddenly turned upside down when I learned about this disease. I consulted many doctors in Delhi but all in vain. They all suggested that I must get an IVF, and were least interested in treating the disease.My husband and I were not in favor of this and started to look for another doctor and luckily we found one who not only cured the disease but assured us that we will conceive naturally.The day I have been waiting finally arrived when the doctor said that I have been cured completely of PCOD, after two long years of medications. These words were sheer poetry to my ears. This day was the beginning of good days in our lives.Months passed and out of nowhere, I realized that I have missed my period. I then checked and found the result to be positive.We were dancing over the moon after getting to know that we are pregnant!!. Nothing in the world can be compared to the joy and happiness of having able to carry a baby within you.I felt blessed that I could experience this beautiful phase of motherhood.The start was rough but the ending was just amazing.We welcomed our angel on 04 Jan 2020.Soon she will be turning a year old.This journey of the first year has been wonderful.I wish luck to all those who are expecting and those who are planning.Those who have welcomed their kids, good luck to those as well.STAY SAFE!!

I Made My Baby Go From Being a Normal Baby to a 'DIFFERENT' Baby
I don't know how to start my story - no, not at all my story; my experience, rather.What do you think about using the word 'different'? I am using the word 'DIFFERENT' to explain about my baby. Yes, he is different from other children. He is 'different' not because of genetical problems, not because of any disease, but because of me - only because of me.We all are busy in this world and sometimes we don't have time to spend with our own kids. When your kids irritate you, what do you do normally? Give him a mobile phone, is it? Do you think of the after-effects of doing so?It can change your baby and make him become less creative and less talkative. Mobile phones kill social skills. The baby is always in an imaginative world and he always has his mobile cartoon friends with him. He is not bothered by society and friends.Now my baby has a few behavioural characteristics of an autistic child or of a child with ADHD, but he is not. The overuse of a mobile phone has made him like that. Giving your child a mobile phone to play with is a crime and yes, I am a criminal. Never ever give any kind of gadgets to your babies under 3 years old. When I read articles and messages about the use of mobile phones among children, I used to think it would never happen to children and that it was too creative. When I met with doctors to find out the reason behind my child's problems, I never ever thought that the mobile phone would be the main villain of this story.Do you think I am writing this only for getting more likes? No, not at all! To make everyone aware of the effects of mobile phones on children is my duty. These words are from my experience. Please don't give your kids mobile phones to play with. This is not a story. This is LIFE.Open the world of stories, letters, and colours to your children. If required, leave matters to his grandparents too. They can play an important role in helping your child get over the ill-effects of cell phones.

FAQs
Water therapy to lose weight has given many positive and successful results. Many people find it difficult to believe in the efficacy of water therapy and still wonder: can water therapy help lose weight? Many people are surprised that water therapy is actually effective. Below, we answer some FAQs about water therapy for weight loss:
1. What is the Preferred Temperature of Drinking Water for Weight Loss Therapy?
Cold water therapy for weight loss is considered to be very effective as the body has to make extra effort to warm it. But generally speaking, water between 50 and 72 degrees re-hydrates the body quickly because the process of absorption works faster. It is difficult to ascertain cold, or room temperature water is better for the body, but the final opinion is that drinking water is essential to keep the body hydrated regardless of the temperature. Whichever temperature makes a person feel encouraged to drink water should be preferred.
2. Should I Gulp the Water Down or Drink It Slowly?
An effective way that helps the body shed weight is water therapy. The obvious reason that water should be sipped and not gulped down fast is that the body actually isn’t able to absorb it all. Most of the water drunk will just run through the body without allowing it to retain most of it. Researches have proven that water should first be swished in the mouth, and also that sipping water helps to ease the digestive process. Water therapy for weight loss side effects trigger off when it is drunk in excess. Water intoxication, which is a result of excess water, can be extremely dangerous and even fatal.
It is difficult to melt stubborn fat in the body. A dehydrated body will not burn calories very efficiently. The remedy is a potent drink which reboots the body in the morning and starts off weight loss. If you adopt the habit of drinking plain water just after waking up, the body will be happy and disease-free as it helps in cleaning the body internally and removes toxins. This, in turn, makes the skin healthy and reflects in the glow of the skin.

Why Having a Sleep Routine is the Key to Good Marks in School
You can never emphasise the importance of sleep for young ones enough. Every parent wants her child to bring good grades every year. However, have you asked yourself whether you are doing enough to ensure that your child is getting what he needs for a successful school year? Of all the things you can do to ensure that your child excels in their studies, ensuring that he gets enough quality sleep through a good sleep routine is important.
How Are Good Grades and Adequate Quality Sleep Related?
A study done at the UCL Institute of Education by the Department of Psychology and Human Development revealed a lot about sleep patterns and the performance of students in school. They compared sleep hours to average grade points, and the results were eye-opening.
It became evident that students who failed to get enough quality sleep through the night performed poorly in school compared to the ones who slept well. Also, poor sleeping patterns in students led to challenging behaviours, and a reduced attention span, which contributed a lot to lower grades.
On the other hand, students with better sleep routines were seen to have not only better performance in school, but also better behaviour regulation. The finding proved one thing; good sleep routines are vital to excellent academic performance and high learning capacity.
So, Why Does Adequate Sleep Impact Grades?
Getting quality sleep has the following positive impact on performance in school:
1. Improves Cognitive Processing
Simply put, sticking to a sleeping routine is key to ensuring that your child’s brain is ready to acquire and use new information with ease. With improved attention and memory, he can learn better and improve his grades in class, as a result.
2. The Body Resets
Enough sleep allows your child’s body to 'reset' and prepare for new experiences. When active, your child's brain goes through a lot of learning, thinking, and other activities which add to the 'brain garbage'. When he goes to sleep, his body will go through a process of removing such 'waste' which, in turn, prepares the brain for learning once he is awake. It’s like removing unwanted files from your PC so that you have additional storage for the important files.
3. Enough Sleep Nurtures Creativity
We all have creativity in us, and to unleash such creativity, the right method is needed. With all cognitive processes running as expected after getting enough rest, you can be sure that your child will come up with better ideas as well as make smart decisions. That’s why most bright people don’t underrate the importance of getting enough quality sleep.
4. Children Become More Productive
The good thing about sticking to a sleep routine is that your child will always wake up feeling energised for whatever activities you’ve scheduled for your day. Once he gets up after a good rest, he will have more energy to remain productive throughout the day and take that productivity even to his classroom.
5. Enough Sleep = Better Health
Perhaps you already know that enough sleep is crucial for one to remain healthy. When sleeping, your body releases hormones required for healing of the body, which is why you most likely feel sleepy when you’ve got the flu. A sick child will most likely have to miss school for a day or more – that automatically ruins his performance most of the time.
In general, it would only be right to say that enough quality sleep encouraged by a clear routine is paramount to the success of children in school. Therefore, establish a sleeping routine for him, and see to it that he sticks to the routine for better results in academics.
What Makes a Good Routine?
When creating a routine for your child, there’s not much to watch out for. However, always ensure that it’s something that he can follow without stressing himself. Such a routine should be simple, and fun as much as possible; it would be best if you also had some bonding time during such a routine. You can do so by reading books with your child in turns, or telling him bedtime stories before he sleeps. Here’s an example of a good morning and evening routine:
Morning Routine
• Have breakfast
• Brush teeth
• Dress up
• Put on socks
• Fold and store pants
• Make the bed
• Tidy up the room
Evening Routine
• Pack school bag
• Put away the toys
• Put dirty clothes away
• Brush teeth
• Tidy up the bathroom
• 15 min reading/story time
• Sweet dreams
What Are The Benefits of a Sleep Routine?
A sleep routine has several benefits that make your child even btter in school. These benefits include, but are not limited to:
1. Eliminate Power Struggles
When your child is reminded what is expected of him before he goes to bed or after waking up in the morning, he will learn and his body will adjust to such a routine automatically. He won’t have to be constantly reminded what to do and when to do it. That way, even adapting to school routines and learning new things becomes easier.
2. Children Learn How to Cooperate
Learning how to cooperate when a child is growing is important even in his academics, as he will always work with others successfully to achieve better performance.
3. Routine Encourages Independence
There is nothing as inspiring as your child learning that he has the responsibility of taking care of himself, albeit with the help of the family. This way, he learns to depend on himself even in school and can learn better.Even though it might be common for children to sleep in on weekends, it’s actually essential to maintain a regular waking-up and sleeping time. Neurologists and sleep experts suggest sticking to routines even on weekends for the development of a child.However, keep in mind that you don’t have to follow routines blindly, as there are times when you have no choice but to break them. If your family is celebrating a holiday or some relatives have come over, time has to be set aside to enjoy such precious moments - your child should not sleep too much and forget to live!
