Taking steps proactively for the next phases that arrive, will not only give you the strength physically and mentally but also make the transition a happy one, which can otherwise often be overwhelming.<\/p>\n

\n\u25cf\u00a0as you give in to your pregnancy cravings, be mindful of sugar consumption
\n\u25cf\u00a0keep a check on your iron levels, with an iron-rich diet at all stages. It is very common to land up in a situation of low iron as the blood volume in the body increases as the pregnancy progresses.
