Just got my positive test and honestly im hearing so many do this dont do that from everyone in the ghar that im confused. Can u all tell me the actual things to avoid? new to all this na.
Most pregnancy apps and health trackers have really good lists on this! Generally, avoid alcohol, smoking, recreational drugs, and certain medications (always check with your doctor). Food-wise, raw or undercooked meat, unpasteurized dairy, high-mercury fish, and excessive caffeine are usually off-limits. Also, extremely strenuous activities or anything with a risk of falling.
Well, my personal rule was to avoid anything that made me feel even slightly uneasy. My doctor gave me a list of foods like certain fish and unpasteurized items to stay away from. For medicines, I didn't take anything without my gynac's explicit approval. It's best to discuss this with your doctor and get their specific guidance.
What to avoid? My couch, if I wanted to get anything done! Haha. Seriously though, raw eggs, unpasteurized dairy, excessive caffeine, and obviously alcohol and smoking are big no-nos. My biggest avoidance was unsolicited advice, it was everywhere! But always follow your gynac's specific list for you.
Oh, the list seems endless initially! From my recent experience, definitely no alcohol or smoking. Also, raw fish (sushi), unpasteurized cheese, and too much caffeine. My gynac also stressed avoiding self-medication for anything, even mild headaches. And lift nothing heavy, seriously, your back will thank you!
I've heard so many things to avoid, it makes me a little nervous! Like certain cheeses and cold cuts. I guess alcohol and smoking are definitely out. I am trying to learn everything before I conceive, so this question is really helpful. Thank you everyone for sharing.
Hey girl! Don't stress too much about all the dos and don'ts, it can get overwhelming. Basic rules are no alcohol, no smoking, and reduce caffeine. Also, be careful with certain foods like raw meats, unpasteurized milk, and some kinds of fish. But most importantly, just listen to your body and your doctor!
Oh, the 'don't' list! 🙅♀️ No alcohol, smoking, or excessive caffeine! ☕🚫 Also, avoid raw meat, unpasteurized dairy, and some specific fish. And definitely no heavy lifting! 💪❌ Your gynac will give you a full guide too! Keep healthy and happy! 😊
