2. Backache-

   The most common of all is backache. It's all because of the increasing weight during the pregnancy of the mother which shifts the Cog of the body. This can be due to abnormal posturing and increasing weight. You should avoid picking up things from the ground in a bending posing that's the most dangerous of all for the mothers back as well as the baby inside. You should go down on your knees and then pick up things that too if it's that important. Keeping a good posture throughout the pregnancy keeps you at lower risk of back ache. Do take sufficient amount of Calcium intake in form of dairy products and vitamin D (early morning sunshine before 8 am) this will help in the babies skeletal development as well. A C-section leading to backache is just a myth. Many cases with normal delivery also complaint about backache!

3. Gestational diabetes-

   It's a kind if diabetes in pregnancy but it gets over once you are done with the pregnancy. To rule out a blood sugar count, tests should be done and in case you are positive with it, then focus on fibre rich foods and less of sugar intake. Bitter gourd helps a lot in regulating the sugar count so do include it in your diet and don't forget a 15 minutes’ walk every day(this is the minimum time but one can increase up to your comfort level)

4. Lethargy-

   Deep breathing exercises in a comfortable position should be practiced every day by every expecting mother. It not only keeps you fresh but also helps you out in labour time. A 15 minutes’ walk should at least be included by every expecting female (excluding the ones who have been advised with bed rest by their gynaes)

5. Cramps-

   Cramps can be one of the indication that your body is running less on protein count. Include pulses, eggs, meat and other sources of protein. Most important of all is to keep your self hydrated. Include a lot of water intake 10 -12 glasses a day. Increase your fruit count to at least three different fruits in a day. It's advisable to eat a complete fruit as compared to juices as it would add fibre to your diet and can relieve constipation which is one of the common problems during pregnancy.
