Self-care Tips for a Nevada Birth Mother During Her Pregnancy

Whether you’re on the first or last step of your pregnancy, there is always room for more self-care. As a Nevada birth mother, you have already made a noble decision by pursuing adoption for your baby. You may want to know what more could be done to bring you and your child to good health. From proper sleep and diet to emotional and medical support, there are dozens of tiny factors that can make your pregnancy even smoother. It is extremely important for every birth mother, who works alongside Adoption Choices of Nevada, to have great care during her pregnancy. Along with reading this resource, please reach out to our adoption agency as you prepare for your child’s birth. Learning as many self-care tips for Nevada birth mothers during pregnancy can never hurt. Keeping your baby safe during and after the pregnancy is something every birth mother wants. This is why we want to provide for you even the tiniest details that can make a big difference for the better.

Avoiding the Unseen Dangers in Your Home during Pregnancy

It can be easy to take on the basic responsibilities of a healthy pregnancy like daily vitamins, a balanced diet, and proper rest. In fact, these details may come so easily that you forget the avoidance of unseen dangers. There are a number of everyday appliances and bacterias that all birth mothers should avoid during pregnancy. One example that could go unnoticed is a kitchen microwave. As microwaves are known to leak radiation on rare occasions, it is highly advisable that you don’t stand near one while it is in use. The waves released are never good for your baby.

Another unseen danger comes from the family cat. It is important for all birth mothers who own a cat, to avoid the litter box. Feces from cats are known to carry toxoplasmosis which can be harmful to the fetus. It is advised that another individual cleans out the litter box for you on a daily basis. With this, try to also keep your cat indoors to prevent it from collecting toxoplasma off of wild animals.

With these just being two examples of many, it is important to remember that your own home needs to be considered safe just as much as your daily life. At Adoption Choices of Nevada, we want you to be fully informed of the unseen dangers that come from your home. If you have questions about such safety, please don’t hesitate to call our office. Of course, having an anxious mindset about the dangers around you is not helpful for your well-being during pregnancy. Instead, simply remaining mindful of your surroundings will keep you at ease. 

Remembering You are Not Alone During Pregnancy

Whether you’re married, separated or single, pregnancy can tend to become overwhelming, especially if you take on the experience single-handedly. There is no need for you to experience pregnancy alone before your child’s adoption. In fact, you will have a better experience if you have the necessary, emotional and physical support. Some birth mothers may try to remove themselves from their social lives, feeling ashamed about the pregnancy or upcoming adoption. This can lead to many kinds of self-destructive thoughts. Living this way can not only affect your emotions but lower your drive to maintain a healthy pregnancy.

It is highly recommended for you to have accountability with a spouse, family member, friend, counselor or therapist. Entrusting yourself to another person can be very healing. That trust will then carry over into your pregnancy care. No longer will you have to find strength alone in your own actions. Someone who understands your needs can take your self-care to the next level.

How You can Fortify Your Adoption Plan as a Nevada Birth Mother

Not only are you pregnant, but you are also planning to follow through the adoption process.

We want to assure you that at Adoption Choices of Nevada, last-minute adoptions are a part of our expertise. However, your pregnancy will be a much more positive experience, knowing you are keeping all adoption details in check. 

Like your pregnancy, you are not alone with the adoption process. Please keep in touch with your adoption caseworker as you may have questions along the way. As you diligently take care of yourself and your baby during pregnancy, do the same with your adoption plan.
