What foods/things to avoid during first trimester?

Question

I just found out through home pregnancy test that I am pregnant. Thanks to the glow community for confirming my result is surely positive. We are on vacation at a remote place and hence will be a while before i can get a clinical test done and get doctor's advice. In the mean time What foods should I be avoiding - papaya, seafood? Is workout like swimming , long walks okay? Snorkling not ok? Any guidance is appreciated.

Answer

I say don't be too paranoid about food but do try to avoid general stuff like raw food, too much seafood, and limit your caffeine. Your baby will be perfect so you can bend the rules a little. ☺️

Answer

no roller coasters, you can eat whatever you want as long as it's not raw meat, raw eggs, but really who needs to be reminded that, you really don't need to worry about limiting caffeine, running, swimming, snorkeling is fine, cold lunch meat is also fine I ate it with my daughter and she was fine, and I've been eating it with my son and he's perfectly fine, basically you can do everything you did before hand except smoking and drinking. but that's also obvious. congrats! xx

Answer

Sea food is in, shellfish limit to once a week.  Avoid certain fish like mackerel, shark, and dolphin.  Salmon is okay as long as it is wild-caught.  Avoid liver; too much vitamin A can harm your baby.  Limit caffeine to 200 mg.

Answer

Your fine to continue swimming, walking, snorkelling etc, just no high impact sports at this stage. Watch out for over heating, drink lots of fluid, no spas or saunas. Any cold cuts or deli meat needs to be thoroughly cooked to eliminate any bacteria, no smoked salmon, fish should be cooked, eggs need to be cooked through, and red meat at least medium done. Try to avoid buffets if you can.
And congratulations!

Answer

No high impact workouts but snorkeling, swimming, and Walks are perfectly fine! I'd avoid saunas and hot tubs. Cold cuts are fine and there's no need to beat them. Drink tons of water as you can become easily dehydrated. Also limit high Mercury fishes and use bug spray! Congrats!
