6 Best Precautions To Take During The First Trimester Of Pregnancy.
Pregnancy is a life-changing experience in many ways, and if you have just discovered
that you are pregnant, you need to be even more alert about the do's and don'ts.
Here we have listed out some of the most important safety precautions to be taken during first
three months of pregnancy that you must follow.
1.
Smoking.
If you have been smoking for a long time, now's the time to quit.
Smoking has been linked to a wide range of health conditions, and is potentially life
threatening.
During pregnancy, smoking may pose several health risks and is responsible for reduced
immunity, lowered birth weight, infections and several other developmental problems in
your baby.
It has also been found that smoking during pregnancy could result in sudden infant death
syndrome.
2.
Alcohol And Caffeine Intake.
Just like smoking, consumption of alcohol and caffeine is a strict no-no during pregnancy.
Consumption of alcohol during pregnancy is thought to cause abnormally slow growth of
the fetus, and is also linked to several learning disabilities.
Caffeine consumption, on the other hand, is linked to premature birth and an increased
risk of several birth defects.
3.
Sauna.
Hot tubs and saunas must be avoided during the first three months of pregnancy.
This is because these activities cause you to stay in an environment that has a temperature
higher than that of the normal body temperature.
This can hamper the proper growth and development of your fetus.
4.
Herbs And Medications.
If you have been using certain herbs or medications as a treatment for a particular health condition
that you suffer from, you may now need to consider looking for a healthier alternative
to those.
It is important to notify your doctor about your pregnancy immediately so that your doctor
can prescribe you the best alternative medications that are safe for your baby.
Avoid going for treatment options such as x-rays since they are harmful for the development
of the fetus.
5.
Seafood.
Most seafood and fish are good sources of protein and healthy fats that are needed during
pregnancy.
But, a lot of fish are known to contain high amounts of mercury and other toxic chemicals,
which are harmful for your growing baby.
Avoid consuming fish during your first trimester.
If you must, choose small amounts of tuna, salmon or other light meats (preferably the
canned variety) during your first trimester.
Check on the same with your doctor before eating.
6.
Extra Nutrients.
Now that you're supporting the growth and development of your baby too, you will need
some extra nutrients and minerals.
Make sure you get your daily dose of vitamin D from foods like egg yolks, tuna, salmon,
fish liver oil, fortified milk and some exposure to sunlight.
You will also need to rev up your calcium content.
Add more calcium rich foods like milk and milk products to your diet.
Take iron and folic acid supplements as prescribed by your doctor.
These are the most needed additions during pregnancy to ensure proper growth of your
baby.
Increase your intake of omega 3 fatty acids by adding more nuts to your diet.
This fatty acid plays a role in the development of the eye, brain and nerves of your fetus.
Make sure you eat all food groups.
Talk to your doctor about the calorie requirements and plan your diet well.
