I just found out I'm expecting, and I'm very early in my pregnancy. What are the most important things I should be doing to take care of myself and my baby during the first month? Any tips would be great.
Even I am in my first month right now! I feel so sleepy all the time, is that normal for u guys too? My doctor told me to avoid papaya and pineapple completely, so I'm strictly following that.
First month is a beautiful phase, just keep your mind calm and positive. Listen to good music, pray if you like, and don't take stress. Taking care of your mental peace is as important as physical health now.
In the first month, please rest as much as you can. I didn't take care of my body early on and ended up having a tough C-section recovery later. Just eat simple ghar ka khana and don't lift heavy things at all.
I felt so overwhelmed and scared during my first month, everything felt so new and confusing. I just focused on staying happy and sleeping whenever I felt tired. Just pamper yourself and eat whatever you can digest easily.
First month is all about resting and starting your folic acid. Don't listen to everyone's random advice on eating for two, that's a myth. Just avoid outside junk, drink water, and see a good gynac soon.
Your body is doing so much work behind the scenes right now. Sleep whenever you get a chance because baby will keep you awake later! Eat fresh fruits and just take it one day at a time.
Just keep it very gentle in the beginning. I asked my doc first and she allowed me to do 20 mins of light walking daily, which helped with my mood. Don't start any heavy workouts or yoga now unless your gynac gives a green signal.
I used to track everything on my pregnancy app and it really helped. Make sure you don't take any medicines without asking your gynac first. Keep track of your symptoms and stay hydrated, it really helps with the fatigue.
