This is my first and im honestly a little clueless about taking care of myself properly, my mom is far away. Just looking for some basic tips from the experienced moms here on what to keep in mind day to day.
Take care of body and mind both. Eat clean, rest, stay positive, and keep faith. A calm peaceful mom makes for a happy baby na. And of course never miss the doctor appointments.
Keep it simple. Eat home cooked balanced food, take your supplements, do all your scans and checkups on time, sleep well and stay a bit active. Both my pregnancies went smooth just sticking to basics.
Practically, the things that mattered for me were good food, regular checkups, enough sleep and not overworking myself. I planned my work so I could rest. Keep your emergency numbers and gynac contact handy too.
I felt overwhelmed in the start thinking I had to do everything perfect. But really it was just eating well, walking a little, resting and going for checkups. Once I stopped over worrying I enjoyed it so much more.
Most important thing is dont stress too much, dear. Rest when tired, eat properly, drink water, and never skip your doctor visits. Your body knows what its doing, just support it gently.
