Question

I just found out yesterday I’m pregnant!
Any thing that us first pregnant moms should know not to do that isn’t always known?
Some things I already know not to do
-sushi
-alcohol
-limit 1 cup of coffee
-cold cuts meats
-no hot tubs

Answer

You can have up to 200mg of caffeine per day, and cold cuts are fine. The only thing I would really be careful about which your ob should at some point give you a list is safe medications to take.

Answer

If you have cats, don’t touch the litter box. Have someone else do it.

Answer

Everything that is posted here, plus start taking prenatal vitamins today if you haven’t already started.  Drink more water. Try to enjoy every day, try not to stress or worry too much.  Try to stay active but listen to your body and rest when you need to.  Congratulations and wishing you a healthy pregnancy!! 😊💕

Answer

One thing not a no no, but start increasing your water intake, especially if you're not a big water drinker. The further along you get the more important it is for you to drink water.

Answer

If you really want a cold cut but you’re afraid of the risks, you can eat it heated (I ate mine cold).
Unpasteurized products are also a no, this includes queso from authentic Mexican restaurants. (I’ve had it and am fine but did not eat it until week 16). 
Ask your doctor for a list of medicine that is fine to take, and stick to that. Don’t worry about what google says. (I did many times lol). 
You’re more likely to get listeria from unwashed fruits and veggies, so wash them well!
Saunas are also bad, so I’ve been told.

Answer

Watch taking otc meds. Ask your pharmacist or OB befor taking anything. Regular Tylenol is ok as well as tums but past that make sure to ask your OB or pharmacist.
