Surrogacy During the Holiday Season: What to Do and What to Avoid

The holiday season is approaching.

Even as a pregnant woman, you should feel free to join in the holiday cheer. But there are a few things you should be aware of.

Here are several do’s and don’ts that should help you enjoy the holidays.

Do: Stay comfortable and indulge in the holiday cheer

The holiday season only comes around once a year. It’s best to enjoy the holiday cheer instead of stressing out over what needs to be done or over any pressing challenges you’re experiencing.

So, stay comfortable and don’t be afraid to indulge. Remember to enjoy the holiday season.

Do: Delegate what you can’t handle

You may have the tendency to want to please others and ensure their comfort. But while you are pregnant, don’t be shy about delegating.

If others are eager and willing to help, take advantage. If no one offers, then it’s okay to be more proactive about enlisting others.

Do: Indulge in these foods

There are certain foods you shouldn’t eat while you’re pregnant. We will be covering those a little later.

But it isn’t much fun to constantly be thinking about what you can’t eat. So, identify the things you can eat and enjoy yourself. Freely enjoy the following foods:

• Water: Drink plenty of water – preferably eight 8-ounce glasses per day.
• Clean vegetables: Greens and chopped carrots make for great snacks.
• Fresh fruit: Feel free to indulge in seasonal fruit like clementines and satsumas.
• Whole grains, nuts, beans and seeds: These foods contain folic acid, iron and protein, which you need while you’re pregnant.
