Entered my 4th month and feeling much better than the first trimester. Want to use this energy properly, like should i start any exercise or focus more on diet? tell me what u all did during this time.
Keep up your iron, calcium and folic acid that doctor prescribed. Eat proper meals since appetite usually returns now, and dont miss the anomaly scan thats around this time. Light walking is good if your gynac is fine with it.
This is the easier stretch so use it. I sorted my work stuff, planned my leave roughly, and started napping when I could. Take your supplements on time and book that mid pregnancy scan, dont push it.
If your doctor allows, this is a nice time to start gentle prenatal walks or yoga. I felt much better with daily slow walks. But please get the green signal from your gynac first, dont just begin.
My doc had me do the level 2 anomaly scan in this window, so check your dates for it. She also said start moisturising the tummy for the stretching skin and keep hydrated. Continue prenatal vitamins without gaps.
Eat home cooked nourishing food, rest well and stay relaxed. My family kept it simple with good dal, veggies and milk. I followed that but also stuck to whatever my doctor advised for tests and tablets.
