Just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks i think. This is my first time so honestly i have no idea what to do or avoid. Can someone tell me the basic things to take care of in these early weeks? thoda nervous.
I felt so lost in my first trimester too. What helped me was just resting whenever my body asked, taking folic acid on time and eating small bites all day so nausea stayed away. Don't pressure yourself to feel glowing, mostly I just felt tired and that's okay.
Honestly with work it's about managing energy. Keep dry biscuits in your bag for nausea, sip water, and take short breaks. I told my manager early so I could sit when I needed, made a big difference.
First three months keep it simple. Folic acid daily, plenty of water, avoid heavy lifting and stay away from raw or street food. Both my pregnancies I slept early and ate light, that's really 80 percent of it.
My amma kept telling me to eat warm home cooked food and not skip meals, which honestly helped. But get your first scan and blood tests done on time, whatever your gynac schedules. Family tips are nice but doc comes first na.
My doctor told me the main things are folic acid 400mcg, avoiding alcohol and smoking completely, and limiting too much caffeine. She also said no need to eat for two, just eat balanced. First trimester is when the baby's brain and spine form so the supplements really matter.
