Losing Weight during Pregnancy - Safe Ways & Effects
Weight gain during pregnancy is a normal phenomenon given the fact that you have to nourish the baby growing in your womb. But if you were overweight before you got pregnant, then this additional weight can make your pregnancy difficult in more ways than one. Maintaining a healthy weight during pregnancy is of extreme importance during pregnancy. If you have a BMI of more than 30, then losing some weight during pregnancy can prove beneficial. And you don’t have to fret about it because losing weight in the early days of pregnancy is possible.
Is It Safe to Lose Weight During Pregnancy?
Women who are obese can reduce the risk of certain complications such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia by losing weight during pregnancy. But their weight loss program should be monitored by a doctor or medical professional.
Usually, pregnant women are not encouraged to lose weight or follow a weight loss diet during pregnancy. It is normal for a pregnant woman to lose weight during the first trimester because of morning sickness or loss of appetite but then again she would gain it and perhaps more in the next two trimesters.
Pregnancy Weight Gain Chart
The recommended weight gain during the different stages of pregnancy varies depending on the individual. During the first trimester, you will not gain much weight as the baby is still tiny. On the other hand, morning sickness and loss of appetite in the first trimester can make you shed a few pounds. Your weight gain will really pick up in the second trimester as this is the time when your baby will start growing in size. By the third trimester, your baby will continue to grow but your weight gain should stabilise since your abdomen can get quite cramped and eating food can become difficult.
Take a look at the chart below to understand how much weight you need to gain throughout the nine months of your pregnancy:
Pre–Pregnancy BMI
Category
Recommended Weight Gain
18.5 – 24.9
Normal
11-16 kgs
<18.5
Underweight
13-18 kgs
25 – 29.9
Overweight
7-11 kgs
>30
Obese
5-9 kgs
If yours is a case of multiple pregnancy (twins or more), then the ideal weight gain should be somewhere between 16.5 kg and 24.5 kg.
Distribution of Weight During Pregnancy
If you are wondering where does all that pregnancy weight go, then you are not alone asking this question. The amount of weight gained is fairly distributed. Here’s a breakdown of the weight you gain during pregnancy.
The baby weighs around 3 to 3.5 kg by the end of the pregnancy.
The placenta and amniotic fluid make up about 1.5 kg.
An enlarged uterus and engorged breasts can mean an additional 2 kg.
Bodily fluids and blood can weigh up to 4 kgs, while fat and other nutrients constitute nearly 3 kgs. So the total weight gained could be anywhere between 10 to 15 kilos.
Can You Follow a Weight Loss Diet During Pregnancy?
It is not advisable for pregnant women to go on crash diets or lower their calorie intake during pregnancy. A weight loss diet can bring about cellular changes in your unborn child. Cutting down on calories during pregnancy can increase the risk of obesity in a child in the later years of his life.
A healthy diet which constitutes of whole foods and fibre-rich foods is essential during pregnancy. Consult with your doctor about the dietary changes you need to incorporate to lead a healthy lifestyle. Include fruits, vegetables, and lean protein in your diet and avoid consuming processed food, sugary foods, and liquid calories.
How to Lose Weight Safely During Pregnancy
Being obese during pregnancy can lead to many health issues and can also cause complications during labour and delivery. But losing too much weight too fast while pregnant can prove dangerous for your and your baby’s health. This is why you should know how you can lose weight without harming the baby. Here’s what you can do.
1. Find out how much weight you need to gain.
Even if you are overweight, you will gain some kilos during pregnancy for the well-being of your child. Measure your current weight, and with the help of a pregnancy chart calculate how much weight you need to gain. Aim to stay within that limit. Be sure to weigh yourself at the same time each day and on the same scale. Limit your weight watching to once a week as fluctuations are normal and weighing yourself daily will only lead to unwanted stress and anxiety.
2. Cut down on the calories.
Here again, you will need to calculate how many calories your body needs every day for you and your baby to stay healthy. It is recommended that pregnant women get at least 1,700 calories every day. By keeping a track of what you eat daily, you can figure out if your calorie intake is within the limit or more. It will also help you understand whether you are eating more than what your body needs.
3. Exercise daily.
Moderate exercise is recommended during pregnancy irrespective of your weight as it provides relief from pain during pregnancy, when your body goes through so many changes.
At least half an hour of physical activity is recommended every day and you can also do this in blocks of 10 or 15 minutes. Swimming, walking, and yoga are some of the physical activities you can engage yourself in.
4. Stay hydrated.
Staying hydrated during pregnancy is of utmost importance and more so if you are indulging in exercises. Drinking one to two litres of water daily can make you feel full and prevent excessive eating.
5. Eat healthy snacks.
Avoid eating junk food and switch to healthier options such as fruits and vegetables. Choose whole grain cereals and bread along with low fat milk and dairy products. Look for foods which are a rich source of folate such as strawberries, spinach, and beans. Have a healthy breakfast daily and eat high-fibre foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans as they aid digestion and prevent constipation, which is a common problem in pregnancy.
6. Opt for smaller meals.
If you find yourself feeling hungry all day long, then go for six smaller meals instead of three big ones. This will help control the calories you consume in one sitting. Having big meals can lead to heartburn and indigestion. So have small but frequent meals.
7. Take prenatal vitamins.
Be sure to take your prenatal vitamins regularly as suggested by your doctor. Taking prenatal vitamins daily will help you meet your nutritional needs without having to consume more calorie-rich foods than required.
But remember that supplements are not a substitute for actual food and you must eat healthy food to ensure that these nutrients are absorbed by your body.
What Are the Side Effects of Being Overweight During Pregnancy?
Being overweight or obese during pregnancy can pose risks for you and your baby. Following are the complications that you or your unborn child may face if you are overweight.
1. Risks to the Foetus
Possibility of a miscarriage.
The child may be born larger than the average size; this can lead to obesity later in life.
The baby is at an increased risk of having a heart disease or diabetes as an adult.
The baby might be born with neural tube defects.
2. Risks to the Mother
Higher chances of developing gestational diabetes, which can result in a larger baby causing a difficult vaginal birth.
There is a high risk of preeclampsia, which can lower the blood flow to the baby.
An overweight pregnant woman may face problems during labour and delivery.
Difficulties in monitoring foetal development.
Increased risk of sleep apnea which can bring on fatigue and lead to disorders like high blood pressure.
High risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) during pregnancy and in the postpartum period.
Blood clotting which can complicate delivery.
In case of a C-section, greater chances of infection or excessive blood loss.
Labour might have to be induced.
Effects of Weight Loss on the Mother-to-be and the Baby During Pregnancy
Losing too much weight can prove counter-effective and can have a negative impact on the well-being of you and your child. Unhealthy weight loss, which mainly occurs due to morning sickness or loss of appetite can start in the first trimester of pregnancy and may last up until the end of the first trimester. Weight loss during pregnancy is not always healthy as your and your baby’s health may suffer. Mentioned below are some complications of weight loss during pregnancy:
The baby may be born underweight because of lack of nutrition.
There is an increased chance of a miscarriage in the first trimester due to anorexia.
Lower levels of amniotic fluid.
The baby will have poor cognitive function.
You might feel tired all the time and will be prone to infections.
A Word of Caution
As mentioned above, your weight can affect your and your baby’s health significantly. Having healthy weight before pregnancy is considered ideal, but if you are obese or overweight, you don’t need to cut down your calorie intake drastically or exercise too much. Consult your doctor before you decide anything. Instead of weight loss, you should focus on weight management.
Pregnancy is a phase when you should take good care of yourself for the well-being of your child. If you are obese or overweight while pregnant, you can lose weight. But you should aim to lose weight by healthy means. There is no better time than pregnancy to make significant changes in your lifestyle. But remember, these changes for be your good and shouldn’t affect your health negatively.

Learn How To Do Face Cleanup At Home - Step By Step Instructions
There is so much pollution, dust and dirt in the air that very easily settles on our faces as we go about our busy lives. These aren’t the only things in the air that can be damaging to the skin; these days the air carries a lot of free radicals and toxic gasses as well, especially in the city. These can all gather on the outermost layer of the skin, causing clogged pores and eventually skin problems and acne.
This is why it is so important to do a proper face clean-up now and then, but getting to the saloon is not possible for everyone every time. Learning to do it yourself at home not only solves the problem but also saves a lot of time and money.
Things You Need to Procure for Face Clean-Up at Home
Here are some of the things you will need to gather for your home face clean-up:
Oil cleanser
Face wash/Cleanser; ensure to only use the ones that suit your skin type
Facial Scrub
Steamer/Dish and towel
Face pack that suits your skin type
Facial Toner
Moisturiser that suits your skin type
Face towel
Blackhead/Whitehead remover
Cotton pads
How to do Spa-Style Face Clean at Home?
Here is how to do a spa-style face clean at home:
1. Cleanser
Take some oil cleanser on your hands and gently massage it into your face with circular motions. Run your fingers under warm water, just dampening it and continue with the circular motions. Now wash your face with a lot of water until all the oil cleanser has been washed away. Oil cleansing removes dirt and grime from your face by dissolving all the dirt and any makeup you may have on your face with the sebum that naturally forms on it.
Now with some face wash or a gentle cleanser, wash your face to remove any excess oil. Once done, pat with a clean face towel, but do not pat it completely dry. Your face should still be damp for the next step.
2. Exfoliate
Exfoliating is a great way to brighten the skin as it removes the dead skin cells on the outer layer of your skin. By doing this, your skin care products will work a whole lot better as they will be able to penetrate the skin.
Use your face scrub and gently rub your face in circular motions. Be gentle while doing this as putting too much pressure can damage your skin rather than helping it. Once done, rinse off with warm water.
3. Steam
Steaming helps remove toxins, deep cleanses your face, aids in getting rid of blackheads and whiteheads, prevents dry skin and also helps in preparing it for the other ingredients.
Use a facial steamer if you’ve got one. If not, you can create a make-shift one at home. Fill a dish with water and heat it. Wait until the water is boiling and as the steam starts to form position your face over the dish and cover it with a towel. Take steam at least for five minutes.
Next, take a blackhead remover and start scraping away at any blackheads and whiteheads on your face.
4. Face Pack
Face packs are very relaxing and highly beneficial for your skin. They are used to improve the tone of your skin and to soften it. There are different face packs available for the different types of skin types, so ensure to pick one that suits yours.
Apply the pack over your face evenly and relax. You need to leave it on until it dries, which is generally about twenty minutes to half an hour. Once dry, wash the mask off with cold water and pat dry.
5. Tone
You can balance out your PH level with a facial toner. They are very refreshing to the skin, seal the pores and keep the skin hydrated. Either dab it on with your fingers or put it into a spray bottle and spray it directly onto your face.
6. Moisturise
This is the last step and is just as important as the others so it should not be skipped. Your moisturiser should also be picked depending on your skin type. For combination or oily skin, use a gel-based moisturiser. If you have very dry skin, use face butter or a thicker lotion.
What are the Benefits of a Face Cleanup?
Now that you know how to do a face cleanup at home, let’s discuss the benefits:
It improves the skin texture and adds a glow to the face
Spots, blemishes, blackheads and whiteheads can be kept at bay
There is an improvement in the blood circulation in the face resulting in healthier skin
Keeps the skin hydrated and well nourished
Removes and reduces the effects of tanning
How to Use Natural Ingredients for Face Cleanup at Home?
If you are the type to prefer natural ingredients, fear not, you can still use them for the ultimate face clean up at home. In fact, all you need to do is rummage about in your kitchen, and you will find some of the most amazing ingredients for your skin. Here we also have recipes for DIY face cleanup home remedies.
Remember to test the ingredients on your skin to ensure that you are not allergic to any of them. This can be done with a “Scratch test” where you apply some of the ingredients on a small portion of your skin. If you don’t experience an adverse reaction, you are all set to go. This should be done with most products, especially if you have sensitive skin or are known to have allergic reactions to many things in general.
Here is how to use them for a face clean up, starting with how to prepare some of the products you will need:
1. Prepare Cleansers
For an oil cleanser, use olive oil or organic coconut oil if you have normal to dry skin and for sensitive to oily skin, use jojoba oil. You can also add a drop of your favourite essential oil to this.
For your honey based cleanser, mix a half teaspoon of milk or cream with half a teaspoon of honey if you have dry or normal skin. For oily skin mix the honey with a ½ teaspoon of lime juice, and for sensitive skin, mix it with ½ teaspoon of rose water.
2. Prepare Facial Scrub
You will need one teaspoon of granulated sugar/organic brown cane sugar and two drops of water. Mix well.
3. Prepare Face Pack
One teaspoon gram flour (chickpea/garbanzo bean flour), ½ teaspoon turmeric, 1 ½ teaspoon of rosewater. Blend the ingredients together into a smooth paste. Make sure that there are no lumps of gram flour in the mixture.
4. Prepare the Toner
Your homemade face clean up is not complete without a toner. Mix equal parts of rosewater and cucumber water and store in a spray bottle.
5. Cleanse
First, rub the oil cleanser onto your dry skin and rub in circular motions for about 30 seconds. Rinse your face with lukewarm water and then double cleanse with the honey-based cleanser. Double cleansing is a great way to get off all the grime and dirt from the face.
6. Steam
If you have a steamer, use it. If not, fill a dish with water and add a few drops of your favourite essential oil. Lavender, chamomile and frankincense are great for relaxation. Once the water has begun to boil, it will release steam. Place your head over the dish and cover with a towel to help keep the steam in. Stay like this for three to five minutes. Then, you can use your blackhead remover to scrape away your blackheads or, using a cotton pad; firmly (but not harshly) wipe your face, paying extra attention to the sides of the nose.
7. Exfoliate
Use your sugar scrub and gently exfoliate your skin. You do not want to be rough on your skin. Move your fingers in circular motions like the one you used while oil cleansing. After about 30 seconds to a minute of your thorough exfoliating massage, rinse your face with cool water. And pat the skin dry.
8. Apply Mask
On your freshly cleansed skin, use a face mask brush or your fingers to apply the face mask to your face, avoiding the eyes. You can use this pack on your under eyes as well. Lie down and relax for about 30 minutes. Rinse off with cool water.
9. Tone
Spray your homemade toner on your face and wipe with a cotton pad. This will help you get rid of any yellow stain the turmeric might have left on your skin, leaving you with soft and supple skin. If you are prone to dry skin, spray your face one more time and gently press the toner into the skin with your fingers.
10. Moisturise
You can now apply your favourite moisturiser, or you can keep with the natural theme and moisturise your face with soothing Aloe Vera gel.
FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions:
1. How Often Should You do a Face Cleanup?
Face cleanups should be done once every two weeks for the best results.
2. What is the Difference Between a Face Cleanup and a Facial?
Regular face clean-ups that are done every two weeks will help in ridding the skin of the dirt, grime, debris, and dead skin cells that tend to darken the complexion and cause breakouts or skin problems. Facials include everything that a face clean up does, but this will also include a soothing and highly relaxing facial massage. Facials are also designed to treat different skin ailments, so it is possible to find the type of facial you want that incorporates special products and techniques to target whatever skin ailment you may have. A facial will usually take at least an hour to an hour and a half and should be done only once a month or once in two months. They do provide longer lasting results than a simple face clean-up and will greatly benefit the overall health of your skin.
3. Can Face Clean-Up Have Any Side Effect?
Face clean-ups can have some side effects if you are not careful. One of the most noticeable side effects is that your face becomes red if you are too harsh during the exfoliation and extraction stages. With these steps, you need to be firm, and gentle, and while using a blackhead remover, ensure that it is clean as it can carry bacteria on it as these can cause breakouts. It is best not to wear any makeup for at least 24 hours after your clean-up if you are going to be doing extractions.
If you are doing a face clean-up at home for oily skin, ensure that the products you use suit oily skin. If you are dry, sensitive or combination skin type, ensure that you use the proper products for your skin type, otherwise you may not see any results, or your skin may even react badly to the process.
Face clean-ups are a real treat as they are a way to pamper yourself and keep your skin looking young, fresh and radiant. If you are doing it at home, it is best to use natural products as you know exactly what is going on your face. Don’t forget to wash your hands before you get started and create an ambience for yourself by lighting a few scented candles and playing a bit of soothing music. When you are done with your extractions, turn off your big lights and use a lamp with soft lighting to help you rejuvenate as you put on your face mask and enjoy some time relaxing.

Understanding the Parachute Reflex in Babies
Reflex actions in babies are important signs indicating that their nervous system is developing. These reflexes usually happen in the first few months and slowly stop once their brains become more mature. Common reflexes include stepping, suckling and parachute.
What is a Parachute Reflex?
The parachute reflex in newborns is a motor response that you will see when they are around the age of 5 months. You can see this response when you hold the baby in a straight position under your armpits and turn him over on his belly quickly. He will extend his arms to break the fall. This action is the parachute reflex and usually remains with a human being his entire life.
Why Do Infants have a Parachute Reflex?
The parachute reflex is a primitive response, controlled by the central nervous system as a mode of survival. Primitive reflexes begin in the mother’s womb and hence are developed by the action of the outside world stimuli. They are usually involuntary and fade with time.
How to Determine Parachute Reflex in Infants
Visit your baby’s doctor each month and consult with him. That is the best way to check whether your little one has developed the parachute reflex. You can also check for these reactions:
Slowly put down your child on the floor where his body and his feet can come to rest. If you see his arms immediately extending and his legs slightly rotating externally, then that is the parachute reflex. You can see this when your baby is 5 months old.
If your child is pushed from behind so that he stumbles forward and you see his arms spreading to protect his body from harm, then this is a frontal parachute reflex. You can see this in babies between 7 and 8 months of age.
Make your child sit with his legs hanging down. Gently push him to one side. A lateral parachute reflex can be seen if he spreads his arm to prevent himself falling. You can see this in babies who are around 6 months old.
If you push your child backwards and his shoulders tilt back with his wrists and arms extended, then this is another protective parachute reflex.
Taking note of all these reflexes in your child can give you a better idea of how his nervous system and motor skills are developing.
How Long Do Babies have the Parachute Reflex
Babies will start to develop parachute reflexes around 6 to 8 months of age. These reflexes remain with them throughout their life as it is a protective survival mechanism.
What If there is Absence of Multiple Reflexes in A Baby?
When you do not observe any reflexes in your little one, maybe it is a sign that he is suffering from an injury to the nervous system or a weakness in his motor skills. You can check for the absence of multiple reflexes by observing the following:
The absence of coordination resulting in less muscle tone. This can be seen when your baby crashes into objects and falls sideways.
Difficulty in paying attention or focusing on something, like when watching TV. This can usually manifest as a learning disorder by the time your child is in school.
Inability to sit up. When you see your baby perpetually lying down.
When your baby is unable to be potty trained
When your baby has a hard time to do something with his hands, like eat. This shows lack of the finer motor skills.
When your baby is always scared or dependent.
If you see these actions constantly in your baby, take him to the paediatrician soon. The paediatrician can start therapies targeted to the development of these multiple reflexes in your baby. A good way is to include movements and games in your baby’s everyday life which can induce the involuntary reflexes automatically. These can be done in accordance with the child’s age and stage of development.
The presence of parachute reflexes in your baby shows that his nervous system and motor skills are on the right path of development. Watch out and be aware so that you can keep a check on your little one’s health while he is growing up.

Becoming a Mother of a Beautiful Baby Girl After 5 Years of Marriage
When I came to know that I was going to become a mother, I was very happy. This wonderful news brought happiness in my life after 5 years of my marriage. I quit my job to feel the full time of my pregnancy. As the days passed, I was waiting for the day when I would actually get to meet her. Then I started feeling her in me. It was wonderful to feel her inside me. Sometimes, her kicks were very hard. I got curious and anxious when I didn’t feel her kicks. But then she used to start kicking again, and I would relax.
Days kept passing and I waited for her. Now the wait is over, my little princess came to this wonderful world. I was very happy. I got my princess – it is the best gift life has given to me. I was the happiest when I held my daughter in my arms. I kept looking at her tiny hands and her beautiful eyes. She looked at me with love. She taught me that I’m not only a mother to her but I’m going to be her best friend, her well-wisher, role model, and everything for her. My life became happier. Motherhood made me complete. Finally, my life got a meaning. Being a mother to my daughter 'Anaisha' felt so special. After she came into my life, I realised that my love for her is unconditional. I was very happy and had tears in my eyes. I am raising her as my friend. I am living my childhood again with my princess. The feeling of motherhood is so precious, so pure that it just can’t be explained in words. Tomorrow she will become a 2-month-old beautiful girl. ???? She is my best friend, I am regularly talking to her. Though she doesn't respond, she gives me the full expressions. Now she has started to give a little smile when I talk to her also she says 'aaaa'. She is very naughty & when she wakes up in the morning she sees here & there all the time I am with her she sees me & gives me a smile.
