Highlights of pregnancy: 3rd month, you realize!
Your medical appointments:
You will make an appointment to do the first ultrasound. It must take place the 10th week of pregnancy. Its purpose: to inform you about the age of your pregnancy, its good progress and the growth of the baby.
Your administrative formalities:
- Notify your employer by RAR mail. This is not an obligation but it protects you legally. If you do not do it in writing, you will have to do it orally before going on leave maternity.
- Send to the Social Security the first sheet of the carnet de maternity corresponding to the 1st examination. The duplicate will be sent to family allowances.
Watch your diet!
-Do not skip meals. We advise you to have a rich breakfast, a lunch, a dinner and a snack either morning or afternoon. Avoid baked goods and biscuits too salty. Consume milk and cheese daily to give your baby the amount of calcium he needs. It is important also for the safeguarding of your teeth!
Anticipate!
- Register in a maternity. Better to act quickly if you want to have a choice! Clinic or hospital? What should guide your decision is above all the competence of the nursing staff and the medical equipment.
- It's time to think about how your baby is babysitting. Register for the town hall now if you want a place in a nursery.
Precautions to take:
- Walk to oxygenate the blood. Drink plenty of water to avoid urinary infections!
- Avoid violent sports or that can cause a fall. Swimming remains the best sport for women pregnant.
- Relax, avoid as much stress as possible. The emotionally charged adrenaline crosses the placenta, and therefore the heart of the baby may accelerate.
