Named the ‘Last Taboo’ by health critics alike, ‘pregorexia’
Raised by Louise Redknapp earlier this year in the ITV1 documentary ‘The Truth About Super Skinny Pregnancies’
Justina Perry, Founder of MamaBabyBliss, the online firm who offer gifts for new mums, organic baby products and baby yoga, said, “Mothers who are concerned about their weight can take some simple steps to improve their general fitness and wellbeing. Pregnancy isn’t all about putting on weight and eating until your heart’s content and taking regular gentle exercise is very beneficial to both parties. Yoga is an excellent form of exercise for pregnant women as it boosts vitality, mind and body.”
Dubbed as ‘the ultimate stress reliever’, Yoga is an ancient form of Indian exercise with a holistic undertone. Consisting of a number of different poses called asanas, each pose should be held for a few minutes while your breathing remains controlled. With daily practice, Yoga can help to tone the body and help to relive discomfort during both the birth and post delivery stages.
Mrs Perry added, “It is staggering that so many women are concerned about their baby weight. Pregnancy is all about looking after yourself, eating a little bit of what you fancy and making sure that you give your baby the best possible start in life. Nutrition is very important during pregnancy and you should make sure that you are drinking plenty of water- at least four pints a day and getting your five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables a day.”
Women who are concerned with their eating habits should look into booking a nutritional consultation with an expert. At MamBabyBliss, they understand that a natural pregnancy diet is the most important gift for you and your baby and with a bit of education you too can help to reduce bloating and stretch marks.
Mrs Perry added, “Some women may try to go on strict eating regimes when pregnant as they are scared about the toll pregnancy will take on their bodies. Many of the women we encounter at MamaBabyBliss, are worried about stretchmarks, but there are completely natural solutions to this common problem. Our ‘Mmm Stretchmark Oil’ and ‘Tummy Love’ massage oils are both great solutions. Packed with omega oils, vitamins A and E and other essential nutrients, ‘Tummy Love’ is the ideal companion for blooming mothers to be.”
