Just found out im pregnant, prob 5-6 weeks. Im a first timer so honestly clueless about what to avoid and what to do. Pls share the basic things i should keep in mind early on.
In the early weeks, just focus on resting as much as you can and taking your folic acid daily. Eat simple, home-cooked meals and don't lift any heavy objects. You are doing great, just take one day at a time.
Looking back at my first trimester, my best advice is to stay hydrated and avoid eating outside junk food to prevent infections. But do enjoy this special time because once they become toddlers, you won't get a single minute to sit quietly!
Since I had PCOS, my first trimester was very delicate and I had to be extra cautious. Do take your prescribed progesterone or vitamins on time and avoid raw papaya or pineapple. But also, don't stress about every little cramp, our bodies are stronger than we think.
Haan, sabse pehle toh heavy weights uthana bilkul band kar do na. Aur tea-coffee thoda kam hi peena, excessive caffeine is not good. Bas ghar ka garam khana khao aur khush raho, rest matches everything.
My biggest 'don't' from my current heavy 3rd trimester perspective is: don't expect to have any energy left by evening, haha! In early weeks, do sleep whenever you get a chance and don't try to be a superwoman. Your body is busy building a whole human!
Oh, early pregnancy made me google literally everything and I was terrified of even walking fast! Please don't do that to yourself. Just avoid uncooked foods, take your doc's advice, and if you see any spotting or heavy cramping, contact your gynac immediately. Otherwise, you are perfectly safe!
