just found out im pregnant, still in shock honestly. its my first time so i have no idea what all to do or avoid in the starting weeks. pls share what u did, im a little scared of doing something wrong.
Congratulations on this beautiful milestone! Please take extra care of your physical and emotional health, rest as much as possible, and strictly follow your doctor's instructions. Every small step you take right now is so precious, so keep your mind calm and happy.
First month is all about sleeping as much as you can because trust me, you won't get any sleep later! Just eat whatever you can tolerate, stay hydrated, and don't panic. Also, stay away from Google searches, they will drive you crazy!
I am in my second trimester now and during my first month, my mom told me to avoid lifting heavy things and just take loads of rest. Did your doctor also prescribe folic acid tablets right away? Let me know what precautions you are taking!
No need to buy expensive things right now. Just eat simple ghar ka khana, avoid outside junk food, and walk a bit if you feel up to it. Most importantly, go to a good nearby clinic and get your basic routine checkup done.
The most important thing is to get your blood tests done immediately and see your gynac. I had thyroid issues which were detected in the first month, so regular doctor follow-ups and proper medication were crucial for me. Please do not skip the initial checkup.
Based on my experience, the first month is when you should be very gentle with yourself. Eat simple homemade food, drink plenty of water, and start the vitamins your doctor prescribes. It really helps build a strong foundation for the baby.
