Managing Digestive Disorders

My name is Lilith Maclin and if you suffer from a digestive disorder, you can find a wealth of information about this type of medical condition in my blog. Three years ago, my husband was having severe stomach cramps and his doctor told him that he had a digestive disorder called ulcerative colitis. After my husband was diagnosed, I did thorough research to learn how to control and manage this disorder. We kept track of everything that my husband ate and when a certain food caused a flare-up of his condition, he eliminated that food from his diet. By learning all we could about this digestive disorder, my husband has been able to live pain free. If you want more information about this disorder and how to manage it, you can find it here by reading my blog.

Is Your Spouse Pregnant? 3 Ways To Pamper Them

Louella Davidson

If your spouse is pregnant, both of you have likely spent a lot of time getting ready for the new arrival. Your wife is going through a lot of changes during this time from her weight gain to her raging hormones. The baby is very important, of course, but you should not forget about your spouse. Below are three things you can do to pamper her during this special time.

Get Her a Massage

Pregnancy massage is the most beneficial in the last two trimesters of pregnancy, as this is the time when your wife is likely feeling more pain, such as in the back, due to the extra weight she is carrying around. Before you hire a massage therapist, you need to make sure they are specially trained to massage pregnant women.

The massage therapist will do the massage a little differently for a pregnant woman. They will make sure her body is completely comfortable using pillows underneath her shoulders and knees.

Some pregnancy massage therapists use a type of bolster with a large cutout in the center so pregnant women can lay down on their stomach comfortably. The therapist may massage your wife's back while she is laying on her side.

Talk to your wife's doctor before you sign her up for a massage to make sure it is safe for her. If you have any questions, contact a local specialist, such as Imagine Wholeness, to discuss your concerns.

Buy Pregnancy Gifts

Your soon to be baby will be getting a lot of gifts before their arrival, so you should take the time out to buy your wife special pregnancy gifts. It could be something as simple as a new maternity clothes. By now, she has likely worn everything in her closet, and having something new will brighten her day. Purchase her a pregnancy pillow, which will help her sleep much better. A bracelet with her baby's birthstone is a nice gift, as well as a nursing bra and comfortable shoes. Or, you could surprise her with a bouquet of beautiful flowers.

Clean the House

Your wife likely does not feel much like cleaning house, and you should do this for her each week at the least. The first time you clean, give your house a complete work over. Scrub the toilets, mop the floors, and vacuum every nook and cranny. Get down on your hands and knees and scrub the kitchen floor until it shines. If you do not want to clean, hire a housekeeper to give your house a deep clean one time, and then you can keep up with things after that much easier.

One of the best ways to pamper your spouse is by spending time with her throughout her pregnancy. Go to as many doctor appointments with her, read baby books with her, and just sit and let her talk about what she is going through.
