You can absolutely cook yourself, it's actually good to stay active. Just be careful around the hot stove and don't stand for too long. Since I had gestational diabetes, cooking my own balanced, low-carb meals actually helped me control my sugar levels much better.
After my IVF journey, I was extremely scared to do any physical work, including cooking. But my doctor assured me that light kitchen work is perfectly safe as long as I don't lift heavy utensils. Take it very easy, sit down while chopping, and don't stress your body.
Honestly, if you have bad morning sickness like I did, the smell of tadka might make you throw up instantly. If you can handle the smells, cooking is fine, but otherwise, just request someone else to handle it for a few weeks. Don't force yourself through the nausea.
I panicked in my first month thinking I shouldn't do any household chores at all, but it is actually completely normal to cook. Just keep your prep work simple and avoid lifting heavy kadhais or grocery bags. You can easily manage light cooking ghar pe, don't worry!
Yes, of course you can, but please listen to your body and don't push yourself if you are feeling tired. I remember crying out of exhaustion in the kitchen during my first trimester. Take help from your partner or family whenever you need it, you deserve the rest.
I used to get so anxious thinking if the heat from the gas stove would affect the baby, which sounds silly now! You can cook, but just ensure the kitchen is well-ventilated so the smells don't trigger your morning sickness. Please be careful around slippery floors too!
Actually cooking is totally fine yaar, unless you have been advised bed rest by your doc. I used to cook simple meals because outside food was making me super bloated. Just don't stand for hours near the heat, keep a fan on, and take it simple.
Main toh pregnancy me pure samay apni mummy ke ghar thi, toh mujhe kitchen me zyada kaam nahi karne dete the. Cooking is totally fine if you enjoy it, but make sure to take breaks and sit on a stool while prepping. Family ka support ho toh bohot aasaani hoti hai.
