Are you a super-mom who works at home and in the office? It is okay if you want to work, but make sure you never over-exert yourself.

According to Dr. Mansukhani over-exertion can lead to your baby having a growth restriction and in some cases it could also lead to a failed pregnancy.

Is it Safe to Gym During Pregnancy?

Cleaning Cat Litter

Remember having heard that you should not keep cats in the house when you are pregnant? You cannot go to the extreme of getting rid of your cat. But make sure that you keep away and don't clean your cats litter.

Dr. Shah says, "Cats are susceptible to toxoplasmosis disease. If you get infected with it by getting exposed to your cat's litter, there may be a danger of a failed pregnancy or your baby being mentally retarded."

Having Sex

In case you have a low line placenta you would have to abstain from sex during pregnancy.

According to Dr. Mansukhani if you have a low line placenta sex could make you bleed and you may land up losing the baby.

She also mentions that if you do not have a low line placenta  then you should not have sex after the seventh month for it might result in an early delivery.

X-Rays

During the first three months, your baby's organs are rapidly developing. Exposure to any kind of radiation during this time can lead to abnormality in the growth of you baby's organs. It could also lead to cancer in the baby.

That is why it is always advisable to get your X-rays done close to after your periods are over, if you are not sure whether you are pregnant or not.

Sauna and Steam Baths

You would want to pamper yourself during pregnancy but it is advisable to stay from sauna and steam baths.

According to Dr.Shah, during pregnancy, your body retains a lot of water. Hence, a sauna or steam bath treatment can lead to dehydration which in turn decreases the blood circulation to your baby.
