Just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks, and honestly im so nervous since this is my first. I keep hearing first 3 months are the most delicate. Can you ladies tell me what all i should stay away from?
My gynac told me to avoid raw or undercooked food, papaya and pineapple in excess, alcohol and smoking, and any medicine without asking her. Also no heavy lifting or very hot baths. She said first trimester is delicate so just be a little careful.
Skip raw papaya, too much caffeine, and any random medicines. Dont lift heavy stuff. And honestly avoid stress as much as you can, easier said than done but it matters.
Main things are no smoking, no alcohol, avoid raw fish and unpasteurised stuff, and dont self medicate. Start your folic acid if you havent. Rest is normal life, just listen to your body and your doctor.
My MIL had a long list of dos and donts haha, some made sense some were just beliefs. I followed the medical ones like avoiding papaya and raw food, and politely skipped the rest. Just trust your gynac over too many opinions na.
