Just entered my first trimester and im super cautious about everything now. Scared of doing something wrong with travel, food, lifting etc. Can u all share what precautions u took in early days?
Please check with your gynac before starting any new routine or taking any supplements. In the first trimester, avoiding heavy lifting and not taking self-medication is extremely crucial.
Just focus on staying positive and eating healthy, well-cooked meals. I kept myself active with light house chores, and everything went completely smoothly for my normal delivery.
I tracked my first trimester daily on my pregnancy app, which helped me remember to take my folic acid and stay hydrated. Definitely avoid raw foods and heavy workouts during these initial weeks.
I just delivered recently, and my main precaution in the early months was avoiding heavy lifting and getting lots of sleep. Also, stay hydrated because dehydration can cause early cramps.
Actually, my biggest precaution was staying away from raw or unpasteurized foods despite my crazy cravings! Just eat simple, well-cooked meals and avoid outside junk for a while.
Beta, eat fresh home-cooked food, don't lift heavy buckets or climb stairs too fast, and stay happy. Take good care of your health in these initial months.
Make sure to avoid any strenuous workouts or heavy lifting during the early weeks. I only stuck to gentle walking and light stretching, and that too after my doctor gave me the go-ahead.
