Newly Pregnant. Do's and dont's of 1st trimester?

Question

I just found out I am pregnant. I am only 4 weeks along. This is my first! My husband and I got married in January of this year and have been trying since! We finally were blessed with this baby! I will be 30 in a month and have been dreaming about having many babies. I'm so excited! It will be awhile before I meet with the midwife. But, what are the do's and dont's of the 1st trimester? What can I not eat or do etc. any advice would be awesome! Thank you!

Answer

Listen to your body. If you feel tired, exhausted or in pain have a seat or lay down. Your pregnancy is Early but it's also in a precious state.

Answer

My first advice is don't flip about caffine. I was a nut about it for my 1st 10 weeks and i suffered! As long as you stay under 200mg per day you will be fine.

Lots of dark green leafy veggies are good for you and baby.

Take your prenatal as long as you can and if you find one that doesn't make you feel sick stick with it

Water. Lots of it! Almost 1 gallon a day is good during pregnancy.

If you get morning sickness don't feel bad about eating anything. You have to eat what your body will let you!

Answer

Do pass out whenever you can. The sofa, bed etc. tell any annoying nagging husbands he's in charge of the house for a trimester.

Drink lots and lots of water

Answer

Eat what you can keep down, if that's McDonald's every day then so be it. 
200 mg of caffeine is perfectly fine. 
Nap. 
Tyelonal and Zantac are your new bffs. 
If you're not bleeding, period like cramps are totally normal. 
Nap. 
Don't forget to exercise, take a walk daily it will boost your mood and oddly help you feel better once aches and pains set in. 
Nap some more.

Answer

All of these comments are spot on! Congrats! The only thing I would add is to really listen to your body. I'm really guilty of not doing that. I remember thinking I may have a UTI, but didn't want to bother the doctor and go in. I finally convinced myself to go and ended up collapsing within seconds of entering the office from kidney stones! Your body tells you what you need and lets you know when something is wrong. On the flipside of that, do your best to be positive and not worry too much unless your body gives you a reason to worry ☺️

Answer

Congrats. 
Make sure you avoid unpasteurised soft cheese, raw egg (if not lion stamped) and pate!

Answer

Do not eat raw fish! Drink lots of water! Get some REST and exercise! Get a body pillow or something in that sorts (lots of pillows) and also talk to hubby about how you are going to be moody that includes being a B over NOTHING and crying at songs. Kick the animals out of the room (if they bother you) I thought I couldn't kick them out but I could not sleep with them so.. It was either me or them! (Hubby chose me hehe) get a good support team weather it be your mother in law or your mother its nice to have someone to talk to! And decide what's best for you and baby and of course hubby! For example I had to tell my brother to Not ever come around me because he is an alcoholic and he hits me when he is mad and has dropped a baby before, so unless he cleans up he won't be around!

Find a juice you like! Water starts to not help with "thirst" if you know what I mean.

Sexx MIGHT  hurt starting week 6! I hold my org. And release little at a time does not hurt anymore!

*****DO NOT STRESS!!!!!****
GOOD LUCK!

Answer

Do not take zofran! For morning sickness

Answer

I would suggest if you have morning sickness and the prenatal makes it worse take it at night!

Invest in Preggo pops for morning sickness too, loved those!

Answer

I would watch the caffeine in the first trimester. Sorry. It's too crucial to development!
