Eat right
It is necessary to eat rationally during this period. You shouldn't overeat. It is better to eat little by little, but more often. Food should be rich in carbohydrates, but contain a minimum of fat. Eat more fiber and fiber-rich plant foods.
You should not eat pastries and sweets. Eliminate pickles, smoked, spicy and fried foods. Doctors do not recommend eating meat, because it contributes to a decrease in tissue elasticity and can lead to tears.
Do not drink sugary drinks (especially carbonated ones), only natural juices without preservatives. In general, try not to eat anything that would contribute to bloating and gas.
How to set yourself up mentally
You definitely need to think that everything will go great for you. You will be watched by specialists who will be able to control the situation, so you should not be afraid.

Talk to women who have already given birth. They will charge you with their positive energy, share tips, and dispel all myths that might prevent you from being in a positive mood. Spend more time among optimistic people, walk in the fresh air, watch good films.
What is needed in the hospital

Of the things you will need a pair of nightgowns, washable slippers, a bathrobe, and cotton socks. Also bring a toothpaste, brush, sanitary napkins and diapers. Pack it up ahead of time.
Pack your child's belongings separately. It can be diapers, diapers, baby cream, two hats and undershirts. Don't pack too many things. Limit yourself to the essentials. If you need anything else, your husband will bring it to you.
