Congrats on your pregnancy! ![]()
- Take folic acid tablets daily.
- Pray and read Quran. Read Surah Maryam daily.
- Try to stop drinking tea/ coffee/ soda’s and other carbonated drinks *(as my health visitor once told me those can cause leg cramps!) *and reduce chocolate!
- Try to eat healthy e.g. fruits, drinking fresh juices, green veggies, orange juice, beans, rice etc and try not to eat junk food, spicy food, fatty food or fried food and this can help prevent heartburns too!
- Wear comfy, low-heeled shoes and if you find that your feet are swelling then see your Doc asap.
- Keep your home well lit to avoid falling etc (I have heard of enough accidents!)
- Stay away from cigs and people who smoke them!
- Stay hydrated!
- If you are suffering from nausea then try eating smaller frequent meals. (I always kept cheese crackers on me!)
- Go for a walk everyday and keep active as much as you can. You could do some mild exercises but ask your GP first if you should start a new exercise!
- Try not to get stressed!
- Go to see your midwife often.
- Go shopping and spoil yourself!
That’s all I can think of now…but most importantly stay thinking positive and enjoy your pregnancy!
Best of luck! ![]()
