Just found out im pregnant, like 6 weeks only. First time so I have no idea what to do and what to avoid in these early days. Bohot nervous yaar, pls share ur experience.
Look, don't try to be a superhero in these initial months. Skip the heavy ghar ka kaam, don't skip your medicines, and stop eating deep-fried junk. Just rest well, eat simple dal-chawal, and always consult your doctor before doing anything new.
My doctor explicitly said to take folic acid daily and completely avoid raw meats, unpasteurized dairy, and heavy lifting. She also advised staying away from self-medication, even for normal headaches or cold. Do drink lots of water and eat small, frequent meals to handle nausea.
Just stay happy and active, but don't overexert yourself. Eat simple, home-cooked food and avoid eating out too much to stay safe from infections. Keep a positive mind, it really helps in having a smooth journey ahead!
Please be very cautious in the first trimester. Don't lift heavy things at all, avoid raw papaya or pineapple, and don't ignore any spotting or cramps. If you feel any sharp pain or bleeding, call your gynac immediately.
In the first 3 months, I felt so overwhelmed and exhausted all the time. My main 'do' was to just sleep whenever I got a chance, and 'don't' was taking stress about cooking or house chores. Please take care of yourself, this phase passes soon!
