When people learn that you are pregnant, every one is willing to give you a list of to dos and not to dos. Most of them are unsolicited advices. There are those that can be trusted and can be followed but not all of them are suitable to you.
I would highly suggest that you do your research first before believing. It is best that you consult your doctor and bombard her with questions and concerns. They are the most reliable people whom you can trust when you are pregnant.
I listed below the things that I tried to avoid while I was pregnant:
1. Eating unhealthy food such as: junkfood, processed food, soda, sweets, raw food like sushi or any uncooked seafood, undercooked meat. Remember, your baby eats what you eat so inorder for him/her to be healthy it is advisable that the mommy should have healthy food intake.
2. Avoid being in a toxic environment such as newly painted room, garbage area, a location where there are toxic substances and chemicals. The smell, the dirt, and bacteria can cause you and your baby harm.
3. Avoid stress especially during the first and second trimester. Stress may cause miscarriage. It can also affect the child's growth and development.
4. Don't have too much caffeine intake. If you are one like me who can never live without coffee, you may lessen your caffeine intake to only one cup a day.
5. Do away with self-medication. Take only medicines and vitamins prescribed by your doctor.
6. Quit smoking and refrain from inhaling secondhand smoke. The smoke is not only dangerous to the mother but also to the baby. It has been proven that cigarette smoking causes cancer. Therefore, it must be avoided during pregnancy.
7. Avoid liquor. The strength of the liquor can harm your baby's brain development.
If these help, let me know in the comments below and do share some of the things that you avoided when you were pregnant. I'm sure your inputs will be of big help.
