Just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks, and im a first timer so totally clueless. My saas keeps telling me different things and im getting confused. Can you experienced mommas share what to do and what to avoid in these early weeks?
Eat small, frequent meals to handle the morning sickness, and don't force yourself to eat heavy meals. I survived on ginger tea and dry toast. Sleep as much as you can because your body is working so hard right now.
I felt so exhausted and emotional during my first trimester, like a completely different person. Do listen to your body and rest when it asks you to. Don't feel guilty if you can't do house chores right now.
Hey, don't stress too much about the long list of rules! Just eat fresh, sleep like a baby, and stay away from stress. Avoid raw meats and unpasteurized cheese, but otherwise just chill and enjoy this phase.
Actually, the first trimester is quite crazy, yaar! Do keep hydrated, but don't eat raw papaya or pineapple strictly. And please don't Google every single symptom, otherwise, you'll lose your mind!
Look, just take it one day at a time. Eat whatever you can digest, even if it's just basic khichdi. Don't worry about weight gain right now, just focus on staying hydrated and taking your prenatal vitamins.
I used my tracker app and monitored my weekly development closely. Do take your folic acid daily without miss, and don't skip your 12-week NT scan. Tracking symptoms helped me realize what triggered my nausea.
Beta, do not eat very hot or spicy food, and avoid outside food completely in these three months. You can have a little ginger-lemon water if you feel nauseated. Take full rest and don't do heavy household work.
This is such helpful advice to read, I'm trying to conceive and taking notes! I guess avoiding high-mercury fish and raw eggs is really important from the start. Wishing everyone a healthy journey.
Please consult your gynac before taking any home remedies or medicines, even for simple headaches. The first trimester is very sensitive. Avoid lifting heavy weights and traveling unless your doctor says it's okay.
Make sure you take your supplements properly, especially folic acid which is so crucial. Avoid bending too much or doing sudden jerky movements. I had a C-section later on, but the care you take in the first trimester builds your strength.
