For pregnant women… everything you want to know about the first trimester of pregnancy

The first three months of pregnancy are a difficult but very important period, and doctors often distribute a list of things that a pregnant woman should follow, which is mostly related to diet, but may also include other aspects of health such as rest and lifestyle in general.

The report published on thehealthsite provides some things that women should follow in the first three months, including:

-Make sure to stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water (at least 8-10 cups per day) to help your body support your baby’s growth.

-Make sure to eat a balanced diet
Focus on eating nutrient-rich whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

-Take prenatal vitamins
You should start taking prenatal vitamins as soon as you find out you’re pregnant to make sure you get all the essential nutrients.

-Get enough rest
Aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night to help your body support your baby’s development.

-Don’t smoke
Smoking and tobacco use can increase the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, and other pregnancy complications.

-Do not consume an excessive amount of caffeine

-Do not take some medications
Some medications can increase the risk of pregnancy complications. Always consult your physician before taking any medication.

Regarding ways to protect the health of the fetus, according to a statement from Dr. Ahmed Rashid, a consultant in obstetrics and gynecology at Ain Shams Faculty of Medicine, the pregnant woman must learn about the different stages of pregnancy and the changes that she is going through, and learn about the stages of pregnancy, which are:

-The first three months of pregnancy
The fetus grows rapidly during it, and begins to develop the brain, spinal cord, essential organs and heart.

-The second trimester of pregnancy
During these months, you can identify the sex of the fetus, and perform a 4D procedure to check on the health of the fetus, examine it clearly, and check on the health of its internal organs. Also, during this period, the fetus begins to move inside the uterus.

-The last trimester of pregnancy
The pregnant woman is exposed to weight gain and feeling tired and exhausted. This is due to the large size of the fetus, which has begun to sense light and make some movements inside the uterus, including opening and closing the eyes and movement noticeably during television rays.

-Days before giving birth…
As childbirth approaches, the stage of preparation begins, or the fetus is preparing to descend, and the pregnant woman feels pain and heaviness in the pelvis, swells in her feet, and feels contractions that are difficult to bear. (seventh day)
