Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting query.

I have gone through your wife's history in details.

Nausea/vomiting or morning sickness is quite common phenomena in the early weeks of pregnancy. Your wife may need medical attention/hospitalization in case of excessive vomiting for several days or Hyperemesis Gravidarum.

Do following things throughout Pregnancy period :

1) Continue above prescribed medicine (Folic acid & Doxinate tablet up to 12 weeks) including Thyroid tablets on recommended dose.
2) Take Healthy protein XXXXXXX diet (Milk/Meat/Fish/Pulses/Beans/Nuts/Dals etc.) with extra 350 Kcal/day than usual and eat leafy vegetables & fresh fruits.
3) Take dry food preferably puffed rice or other to avoid the tendency of nausea.
4) Drink lots of fluid/water to stay hydrated & for better feto-placental circulation.
5) Take an adequate bed rest and preferably 8-10 hrs daily in divided schedule.
6) Main personal hygiene including breast & genital care with proper washing.
7) Try to avoid stress/tension/emotional upset by regular XXXXXXX breathing.
8)Do periodic check up as per schedule with one Ultrasonography scan around 8-10 weeks if other complication (like bleeding) is not there.Also repeat scan is needed in later month to assess growth & development of fetus.
9) Take Iron/calcium supplements from 16 weeks onwards, Two doses of TT in the 2nd trimester and complete all necessary investigations.
10) Periodic measurement of Weight gain and blood pressure. 10-12 kg weight gain is normal in pregnancy period.

Try to avoid following things (preferably in the 1st trimester):

1) Any type of sexual activity/intercourse
2) Long journey/stepping uneven surface
3) High heel shoe (risk of fall on ground with miscarriage)
4) Bitter taste/bad smell/spicy food to avoid nausea
5) Unprescribed/unsafe medication as first 12 weeks are vulnerable to defective organogenesis.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wish your wife for good health and successful motherhood.
