How To Stay Healthy During Pregnancy?

Pregnancy is one of the most exciting journeys in life, but it also brings big changes to your body and mind. 

Staying healthy during this time is about more than just physical well-being—it’s also about finding balance, calm, and confidence as your body transforms.

From mindful self-care to nourishing treatments, there are many ways to support your health throughout pregnancy. 

At Sabai Thai Spa® Vancouver, we believe in holistic wellness, offering spa experiences that help mothers-to-be feel relaxed, cared for, and radiant.

Key Ways to Stay Healthy During Pregnancy

1. Eat a Balanced, Nourishing Diet

Your body needs extra nutrients during pregnancy to support both you and your baby. Focus on:

• Whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains

• Lean proteins (fish, chicken, beans, lentils)

• Healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil

• Staying hydrated with plenty of water

These choices not only fuel your baby’s growth but also help you maintain steady energy levels and support glowing skin.

2. Prioritize Gentle Movement

Exercise during pregnancy helps with circulation, mood, and stamina. Safe activities include:

• Prenatal yoga for flexibility and relaxation

• Walking or swimming for low-impact cardio

• Light strength training to prepare for labor

Always consult with your healthcare provider before beginning or adjusting your fitness routine.

3. Practice Stress Management

Pregnancy can sometimes bring emotional ups and downs. To manage stress:

• Try mindfulness meditation or deep breathing

• Journal to release worries and track your journey

• Schedule time for self-care and relaxation

Massage therapies and spa treatments can also provide much-needed relief from physical tension and mental stress.

4. Care for Your Skin Naturally

Pregnancy hormones often affect the skin, leading to breakouts, sensitivity, or changes in texture. 

Gentle, pregnancy-safe facials are a wonderful way to keep your skin healthy and refreshed. 

At Sabai Thai Spa® Vancouver, we offer:

• Calm Skin Facial: Perfect for soothing sensitive or irritated skin that often flares during pregnancy.

• Clear Skin Facial: Helps address pregnancy-related breakouts safely and effectively.

• Firm Skin Facial: Supports elasticity and hydration, keeping your skin supple as your body changes.

These facials are designed to be safe and relaxing for expectant mothers, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful spa experience while caring for your skin.

5. Get Plenty of Rest

Your body is working harder than ever, so rest is essential. Tips for better sleep during pregnancy:

• Establish a bedtime routine with calming activities like reading or light stretching

• Use pillows for support and comfort, especially as your belly grows

• Limit screen time before bed to encourage deeper rest

Spa treatments that promote relaxation can also improve sleep quality, leaving you more energized for the day ahead.

6. Surround Yourself with Support

Staying healthy during pregnancy isn’t just about physical habits—it’s also about emotional well-being. 

Surround yourself with supportive family, friends, and professionals who encourage and uplift you during your journey.

Why Spa Treatments Are Beneficial During Pregnancy

Pregnancy-safe spa treatments are more than just pampering—they’re a form of self-care that helps relieve tension, balance hormones, and keep skin glowing. 

Visiting a spa during pregnancy allows you to:

• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve circulation and relaxation
• Maintain clear, calm, and firm skin throughout the changes of pregnancy
• Enjoy a peaceful break that’s all about you
