If you are excited to
know that your close friend or colleague or family member is
expecting a baby, send her fresh flowers. Flowers are a symbol of joy
and happiness. They would convey your message to the recipient that
you are happy for her. Flowers with their sweet fragrance and natural
beauty would also make the expecting mother feel better and happy.
But before sending
flowers to a pregnant woman you must know that not all flowers are
suitable for pregnant ladies. If you send wrong flowers, they can
affect their physical health and sleep and can also make them lose
their appetite.
Do not send flowers with
string fragrances as they can cause headache, nausea, and sickness to
the expecting woman. For this reason, Jasmine, oleander, and
poinsettia are not appropriate flowers for pregnant women.
Then the pollen of
certain flowers can cause allergy. Expecting women should stay from
such flowers as they can cause serious harm to them and to the babies
growing inside them. Avoid sending Hydrangea and Primrose as their
pollens contain strong chemical reaction that can trigger allergy.
Some other flowers that
you should avoid sending to your pregnant friend are China rose,
Chinese redbud, lily and mimosa. You may send ivoy, carnation,
maguey, alloy and cactus.
Since flowers can absorb
fresh oxygen and can release carbon dioxide, it is not advisable to
keep flowers in the bedroom of an expecting woman. In case the woman
feels good having flowers around her, choose aloe and cactus as their
fragrance is mild and they are able to absorb certain toxic
substances.
Flowers are the best
means to share your happiness and joy with your near and dear ones.
Choose the right flowers and celebrate the great news with your
friend or family member.
