What precautions to be taken in initial days of pregnancy?
Just got my positive test yesterday and im honestly both excited and nervous. its my first so i really have no idea what all i should be careful about in these starting weeks. experienced mommas pls guide me.
My gynac said start folic acid right away, avoid raw or undercooked foods, no smoking or alcohol, and dont take any random medicine without asking. She also said avoid heavy lifting and get the first scan done on time. Basically be gentle and keep your appointments.
Take it easy in the first weeks, get enough rest and eat simple home food. Dont over exert or stress yourself. And start your folic acid and book your first gynac visit, the rest will follow naturally.
I stayed with my mom in the early weeks and honestly that comfort and good food helped a lot. Rest well, eat warm home cooked meals, and avoid stress. Let people pamper you a little, you deserve it.
I was so scared of doing something wrong in the early days. I just focused on folic acid, rest and avoiding heavy work. Did you all also feel this nervous in the beginning?
