Just got my positive last week and honestly im a little nervous since this is my first. I keep reading scary stuff online about the first 3 months being the risky phase. What all did you mommies do to take care in early days? Want to start right.
First trimester basics, take your folic acid, eat small frequent meals for the nausea, stay hydrated and rest a lot. Avoid self medication and heavy lifting. Get your first scan and bloods done as your doctor schedules.
My doctor stressed folic acid is most important in the first trimester for the baby's development. She also said keep caffeine low, avoid raw foods and report any bleeding or severe vomiting right away. Regular checkups make a big difference.
Beta the first three months your body is adjusting so be gentle on yourself. Eat well, sleep enough and dont stress over every little thing. Just keep your appointments and call the doctor for anything that worries you.
I felt overwhelmed in my first trimester with all the changes. What helped was taking it day by day and resting whenever I felt tired. Eat what stays down, and dont compare your journey to others na.
