Just entered my 8th week with my first pregnancy and im being super cautious about everything. Worried about foods, travel, lifting things, even some daily activities. Can the experienced mommas here list what i should really stay away from in these early weeks?

Beta in our time we were told no heavy work and proper rest in first months. Avoid very spicy and outside food, ghar ka khana is best. But for anything you are unsure about pls ask your gynac, times have changed.

Agreeing with the doctor sheet point, that helped me too. Keep it simple yaar.

I was so confused in my early weeks too, everyone gave different lists. Did u all also avoid travelling much in the first 3 months? I stopped my long bus journeys just out of fear honestly.

Honestly the lists online are endless and half are myths. I just asked my doc and she gave me a simple sheet, no smoking, no alcohol, limit caffeine, avoid raw fish and unpasteurised stuff. Better to follow your own doctor than random advice.

First trimester main thing is avoid raw or half cooked food, too much caffeine and heavy lifting. I skipped papaya and pineapple just to be safe both times. Rest just eat clean and take your folic acid daily.
