Just got my positive test and im honestly clueless. My saas keeps telling one thing, internet says another. Pls share what u all actually avoided in the starting weeks?
Avoid unsolicited advice from everyone first of all, haha! But seriously, say no to heavy lifting, unpasteurized milk, and papaya. I am in my third trimester now and still avoiding those!
First month is very delicate, dear. Avoid lifting heavy things, taking random medicines without doc's permission, and eating too much outside junk food. Just rest well and eat ghar ka simple khana.
My mother-in-law advised avoiding heat-inducing foods like sesame and papaya in the first month. I followed that, but also checked with my doctor who gave a proper list of foods and prenatal vitamins to start.
Please avoid stress first of all, and don't take any pain killers or meds yourself. I also stayed away from heavy workouts and raw sprouts during my first trimester.
My tracking app had a huge list! Definitely avoid raw papaya, pineapple, and high-mercury fish. Also, keep track of your daily caffeine intake and try to keep it under 200mg.
Honestly, just call your doctor's team and ask for their first-trimester guidelines sheet. My hospital gave me a clear pamphlet on what foods, activities, and cosmetics to avoid, which made things so easy.
