Chhavi Mittal, 34-year-old television actress, rose to fame after doing the hit serial, Tumhari Disha, is pregnant with her second baby. Chhavi got married to the director, Mohit Hussein in 2005, and the couple is expecting their second child in May 2019. Their first child, a baby girl whom they named Areeza, was born in 2012.
In her most recent post, Chhavi Mittal has tried to shatter five myths which people think about pregnancy are true. Chhavi Mittal is quite active on Instagram and regularly shares posts related to her pregnancy, and the various tips which can come handy to all the expecting ladies out there. Sharing the following picture with her baby bump, Chhavi wrote, "I've been reading all comments on my recent posts and really want to thank each one of you for the pouring love! However, there are certain myths about pregnancy that I'd like to address today."
The first myth which Chhavi addresses in her post is the belief that the pregnancy phase is all about resting. She writes, "No. Pregnancy is not an illness, unless you make it one specifically by resting and being lazy. Lack of exercise is known to cause a variety of problems in any kind of person. Pregnancy is the time to look after yourself even more than others."
The second myth which people believe readily, which is that pregnancy means no workout. She further writes, "Well. For somebody who has never done yoga, it can actually be harmful! I had a slip-disc while attempting yoga with an expert trainer! Is that a chance I'd like to take when I'm pregnant? Hell no! I'm a gym freak, and if I stop gymming suddenly, it will do me more harm than good. Hence, no matter how hard it is, I strive to stay fit and healthy. For people who are generally not exercising, simple walks will go a long way."
Sharing the third myth, she continues, "Please I beg of you don't! Eat what is good for you, not junk. And sugar is worse than cocaine, so switching to healthier options, or simply cutting it down will reduce your chances of gestational diabetes and your baby's chances of being diabetic. Besides unnecessary weight gain can lead to problems during your 3rd trimester & delivery. And you're not eating for 2! Your baby is getting all nutrition from your body, you're just eating for yourself!"
Chhavi then addresses the fourth myth which she has headlined as- 'Listen to everyone's advice!' Shunning this myth and stereotypical thinking, the mother-to-be retorts, "Please listen to your bodies first. Every pregnant mother knows her body best. If you don't feel right about something, don't do it.
And lastly, Chhavi Mittal says that there is no need to always learn from other pregnant women. She writes, "Please don't ape another pregnant woman. Just because she can, doesn't mean you can. Again, listen to your bodies & don't blindly follow a pregnancy workout video/ yoga video etc. Lastly, I would like to add that I'm not a doctor. So please don't inbox me about medical problems. I'm only sharing my experience in the hope that it will benefit someone, but for the final word, turn to your doctor, please. Happy pregnancy ladies! #HappyilyPregnant."
