I just found out I'm pregnant and it's very early days. I want to be super careful, so what are some things I should strictly avoid doing during this first trimester? My family has so many dos and don'ts, I'm confused.
Oh god, please don't stress yourself by overthinking every small cramp, but do avoid papaya, high heels, and long travels. I used to worry about every single bite of food! Just follow your doctor's list of foods to avoid and stay safe.
Yaar, actually just avoid lifting heavy stuff and cut down on caffeine. No raw papaya or half-cooked eggs at all. And seriously, don't Google every little symptom, it just ruins your peace of mind!
Beta, don't lift heavy buckets or do heavy household work in these early months. Avoid eating raw papaya and pineapple as elders say they are not good. Eat simple ghar ka khana and take plenty of rest.
Most importantly, don't skip your medicines, especially thyroid pills if you have thyroid issues like I did. Even a slight change in dosage needs a doctor's checkup. Do get your blood tests done on time.
Don't skip your basic blood tests or miss your early scans, as catching issues late can increase your medical bills heavily. Also, avoid eating outside food to prevent food poisoning, which leads to extra hospital expenses.
