Pregnant Pause in a Time of Quarantine


What to eat is one of the most frequently asked questions at our events!

What to eat is one of the most frequently asked questions at our events!

Can I eat this? May I drink that? Is this feeling normal? What if my bag breaks at home? Oh the questions never end! Our Pregnant Pause events have proven that every pregnancy is different and every pregnancy brings about questions that may have never been asked before. Especially now as the world adjusts to a new normal that may involve rotating quarantines.

While some questions can easily be answered in an online search, others may need actual moms and experts to do the talking. Below is a list of some new questions encountered during this quarantine:

1. I just found out I’m pregnant, and I’m afraid to go to a health centre to be checked. What do I do?

The best thing to do is to ask your OB GYN what they recommend. There are many factors that come into play here, such as maternal age, birth order, and health (ex. diabetic or pre-diabetic). Your OB GYN will know what best to do, and if necessary, help you find a clinic that has not been accepting COVID cases.

2. How long do I stay in the hospital?

For any pregnancy, the ideal hospital stay is as little as possible so long as the baby and mother are healthy to go home. However, during a pandemic or health crisis such as COVID-19, staying just one day after delivery is best to ensure that both mother and baby stay virus-free. Then keeping constant communication with your doctor is key to maintaining a healthy recovery for the mother and a healthy infancy for the baby.

3. What is safe for my newborn’s skin?

Newborns may have a variety of skin “problems” such as chicken skin or eczema or acne. The general rule of thumb is: If you don’t feel comfortable with it being IN them, then you shouldn’t feel comfortable with it being ON them. Remember that baby’s skin absorbs easily, so using only organic and mild products on your baby’s skin is ideal. Stay away from chemicals or formulated moisturisers unless otherwise prescribed.

4. When I bring my baby out for some sun, should I apply sunscreen?

It is important for babies to get early morning sun for Vitamin-D, and if you stick to early morning sun then no sunscreen is needed. Ideally, sunscreen should not touch your baby’s skin until they are 6-months or older!
