(HealthDay News) -- While some women feel great throughout pregnancy, others have a variety of unpleasant symptoms.
Here are suggestions on how to feel better throughout pregnancy, courtesy of the American Academy of Family Physicians:
- To ease morning sickness and also prevent heartburn, eat small, frequent meals.
- Beat fatigue with plenty of rest each night and naps during the day when possible.
- Stretch your calf muscles to prevent leg cramps.
- Eat plenty of fiber-rich foods and drink lots of water to prevent constipation.
- If you're retaining a lot of fluid, rest with your legs up, and on your left side.
- Use lotion to keep your skin moist, which will help reduce itchy stretch marks.
