From advice from other mums who\u2019ve been through the moment, you find yourself in, to sayings that have been consecrated over the generations that apparently must fit all mothers in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, is all of this really true? Maternity, before and after the birth of a child, is a singular journey and not everything that is said is bound to work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, in this article we\u2019ll go over some phrases you\u2019ll most probably hear and that must not be taken as scientific statements that will evidently be your case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BEFORE THE BIRTH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>You have to feed for two<\/strong><br><\/strong>If you were to deliver a person the same size as you, it could well be so. However, that\u2019s something that hasn\u2019t happened yet. So being pregnant doesn\u2019t give you carte blanche to eat for two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is logical that you\u2019ll increase your calorie intake during pregnancy, but this should be balanced and must not include empty calories from so-called junk food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be advisable to see a nutritionist to know exactly what would be most beneficial for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>A girl or boy from the shape of your bump<\/strong><br><\/strong>Yet another popular myth. For the time being, there is no scientific evidence to demonstrate that the shape of the belly will determine the baby\u2019s sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So before you start buying clothes for a baby boy or girl, you must wait for a sonogram to confirm matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>You shouldn\u2019t be playing any sport<\/strong><br><\/strong>Unless your doctor tells you the contrary, a sport in moderation has several advantages for a healthy pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A sport that\u2019s adapted to each stage of gestation, depending on how active one was before,&nbsp; strengthens the heart, the muscles and reduces the general discomforts of pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Bathing is forbidden<\/strong><br><\/strong>In the olden days, it was thought that bathing while pregnant was harmful to the fetus since water could enter the uterus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank heavens we\u2019ve advanced with respect to information\u2026 can you imagine being pregnant and without a dip throughout the summer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boboli.ie\/6-new-born\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boboli.es\/boboliland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/El-no-manual_01.jpg\" alt=\"new born collection\" class=\"wp-image-15076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boboli.es\/boboliland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/El-no-manual_01.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.boboli.es\/boboliland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/El-no-manual_01-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boboli.es\/boboliland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/El-no-manual_01-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boboli.es\/boboliland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/El-no-manual_01-780x585.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.boboli.es\/boboliland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/El-no-manual_01-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.boboli.es\/boboliland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/El-no-manual_01-550x413.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.boboli.es\/boboliland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/El-no-manual_01-370x278.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.boboli.es\/boboliland\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/El-no-manual_01-255x191.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boboli.ie\/6-new-born\">Discover our New Born Collection<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AFTER THE BIRTH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>All is bliss<\/strong><br><\/strong>You will be happy, without a shadow of a doubt, but you will also have to handle an onslaught of hormones,&nbsp; frustration, and lack of sleep during the early months, so it\u2019s perfectly normal not to feel like you\u2019re bursting with happiness at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let comments regarding this plethora that you should be feeling at this stage get you down when you don\u2019t feel that way all the time.&nbsp; It\u2019s normal and it happens to many mothers during this period of adaptation to a new adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Babies eat every three hours<\/strong><br><\/strong>No two babies are alike nor do they have the same needs. The only thing they all have in common is that their sleep cycles depend on their feeds and that they triple their weight in the first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having said that, the baby\u2019s feeds should be on demand, and they don\u2019t always feed only when hungry. They may sometimes do so for consolation or to relieve discomfort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>You mustn\u2019t pick them up every time they cry<\/strong><br><\/strong>That\u2019s a comment we\u2019ve heard repeatedly over generations, but if we stop to think about it\u2026 doesn\u2019t it seem very cruel? We often hear that if babies get used to being picked up they start blackmailing you, but I have my doubts about a baby\u2019s ability to think that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand,&nbsp; how many teenagers do you know who are continually looking for hugs from their&nbsp; parents? Take advantage of this stage and give them all the love they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, not everything you\u2019ve heard can be proven to be true, but like we were saying at the beginning, maternity is unique journey for each mother. Trust in yourself and remember that there is no single correct path, that what makes a good mother is finding your way by trial and error, and there\u2019s no definitive guide for that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re going to be a mum or if you\u2019ve already been one, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve been bombarded with all sorts of information.
