I just found out I'm pregnant and it's very early days. What are the key things I absolutely should not do during this initial period to ensure a healthy pregnancy?
With my twins, I realized how important it is to just slow down. Don't carry heavy buckets or do sudden bends, and ignore all the random advice from aunties.
Honestly, having gone through complications, I would say be extra cautious. Don't do any strenuous workouts, and if u feel even mild cramping or spotting, call your doc immediately.
Please be very gentle with yourself right now, especially after IVF. Avoid heavy lifting and running around, just take plenty of rest and keep your gynac updated.
First rule of early pregnancy: stop googling every single ache, u will only drive yourself crazy! Leave the heavy grocery bags and chores for your husband to do.
Avoid raw foods, papaya, and self-medications completely in these early weeks. No need to stay on bed rest 24/7 though, just walk slowly and eat warm ghar ka khana.
