That’s really weird bc ginger is usually encouraged to help with nausea.
May be typical advice amongst desi elders. I’m not sure. I do think you can continue mostly normal, but just take more care and be very aware of any signs that you are pushing your limits. With your first you may be able to avoid bending and lifting, but once you have more kids, all you can do is try to limit it.
The others are to avoid soft cheeses that may contain listeria, smoked sandwich meats and bologna type deli meats, etc.
