This is a guest post written by Lauren Dzuris.

Pregnancy is a beautiful, and life changing thing. Our children are now our first priority, and taking care of them is something we're fully responsible for. Even though they haven't arrived yet, it is important to take care of them the best we can when they are developing through pregnancy. For them to be healthy, they need many things. To ensure that you have as healthy of a pregnancy as possible, consider some of these health tips!

Diet: It is very important to eat a diet that is rich in vitamins, minerals and whole grains. Your baby needs these nutrients to grow healthy, and strong. It wouldn't hurt to take a look at the food pyramid to remind yourself of what you should be eating daily.

Exercise: Getting exercise daily for at least 30 minutes is important. Just remember this exercise should be light to moderate while pregnant.

Rest: It is important to get your rest every night. Your body and mind both need to rejuvenate, and take a break from a long day. Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep each, and every night. Also, if you're tired, take a nap. Your body has to work much harder to work for the two of you, and sometimes requires more rest, so give it what it needs.

Stress: Stress is a terrible thing for anyone, and has many bad side effects. If possible, get rid of any stress in your life, or come up with ways on how to control it or decrease it. Try taking walks, talking with friends and family, and doing things you enjoy so you can keep your mind healthy, and happy.

Vitamins: Although we should get all our vitamins through our food, and drinks it can be hard. Our bodies need certain vitamins to help take care of our growing baby. It is highly recommend you take a prenatal vitamin each day to make sure you're getting everything you need.

Prepare: Lastly, it is important to prepare for your new baby to come. Try to take some time alone and prepare for your baby emotionally. It will be a big change, and you want to make sure you're as ready as possible.

A new baby changes your life in more ways than one. What's good about that is that it's all for the better. Our lives are so much more exciting, and there is so much more to look forward to. So, take the time now to take care of your body, and your future baby with these tips!
