Found out im pregnant just last week, still feels unreal. This is my first so i have no idea what i should be careful about this early. Everyone is giving different advice and im getting confused. pls tell what to actually avoid.
First month mainly avoid raw or undercooked food, too much caffeine, smoking and alcohol. Dont take any random medicine without asking your doctor. Start your folic acid if your gynac has prescribed it.
Avoid heavy lifting, smoking, alcohol and self medication. Some people also avoid papaya and pineapple in large amounts early on, though evidence is mixed. Best to get a proper do and dont list from your doctor.
My MIL told me to avoid lifting heavy things and to rest more in the first month. I also cut down chai a lot. But for anything specific I always checked with my gynac so there was no confusion at home na.
