Question: Can you please suggest me tips for normal delivery. Also suggest me healthy diet
Answer: Congratulations on your pregnancy
I can understand your curiosity.Your diet should be balanced. Take milk twice as it serves calcium needs on daily basis. Include fruits, vegetables, green leafy vegetables in your diet. Curd is best source of calcium and aids in digestion avoiding acidity and gas formation. Food you can take normal diet but avoid spicy and masala food. Except the food you should avoid during pregnancy as pine apple, Jack fruit, papaya, sesame seeds, etc you can have rest all. Exercise helps to relax muscles and increase chances if normal delivery. Walking is best in pregnancy. It also helps to digest food. As the muscles get lose the chances of normal delivery will be increased. Yoga is also considered best but you should perform it with two conditions one is you should permission from your doctor second is you should perform only under the guidance of an expert.Take care
