Pregnancy tips

In the video for the 15th week of pregnancy on meinhaushalt.at important information and tips for pregnancy in week 15 are presented.

In the 15th week of pregnancy, your child has reached a total length of approximately 10 cm and weighs 50g. The fetus has now learned to lift its head a little, its lungs are developing further day by day, and with the first breathing exercises, the little child also inhales small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is important for lung development. Through these breathing and swallowing exercises, the cheek muscles also develop excellently.

Gradually, your baby is getting a rounder facial expression and looks more and more like a little baby. Approximately every three to four hours, the amniotic fluid in which the child swims safely and protected is automatically replaced. The fetus's hands are now almost in the correct position, only the legs are still a little too short. Every now and then the child moves jerkily; some pregnant women can already feel these movements. If you have an anterior placenta, you will have to be patient a little longer for these exciting "knocks".

The right nutrition during pregnancy

The right nutrition during Pregnancy with healthy, balanced food is now becoming increasingly important; after all, the placenta supplies the fetus with all the substances it needs, directly from the mother herself. Even if you are not feeling well or cannot always eat ideal food in the hustle and bustle, try to eat vitamin-rich and, above all, plenty of fresh food. Your child needs these important nutrients to enter the world healthy and lively.

Care during pregnancy

Your belly requires a lot of care during pregnancy – the sooner you start rubbing and massaging with special care products, the better it is for your skin and, above all, it prevents stretch marks.

A beautiful belly, well-groomed skin, and a radiant smile are seen on you more often these days – yet you should not let the media unsettle you. Especially in advertising, you often see perfect pregnant women. No wonder: thanks to makeup artists, stylists, and optimal camera lighting, every woman is shown in the best light. Do not let such pictures and films confuse you – no one can shine 24 hours a day and do everything perfectly. You will find your own ideal rhythm.

Maternity clothing becomes necessary

Is one bra or another pinching already? In the Pregnancy it is not unusual for the bust to get larger. Sometimes cup sizes can increase by several numbers. Your bust will grow and become heavier until about the 20th week of pregnancy. A well-fitting bra that does not pinch is now particularly comfortable and important so that the connective tissue of the breast is supported. Important when choosing the right bra: feel free to try on the models before you buy one bra or another. At best, let a specialist salesperson advise you and, if necessary, have your size measured to find the ideal bra. Also, look for wide straps so that they can carry the new breast load and do not cut into your shoulders. A stretchy, soft microfiber material offers excellent comfort and also fits well. Since such bras naturally have their price, it might even make sense to look for nursing bras now.

The rest of the body is also adapting more and more to the pregnancy. Soon you will no longer see a waist and the belly will also steadily increase. So that you do not lose all comfort, do not wear clothes that are too tight, but perhaps look around in the maternity department. Nowadays the selection is large, the tops are chicly cut and by no means look like burlap sacks. Trendy fashion and clothing not only bring you joy – your environment will also continue to find you fashionable and neat.
