Please mention the duration of
pregnancy, or ur last menses date.
First you need to visit an obstetrician for an examination (antinatal chk up) and do an
ultrasound. Some blood tests, that she adviced.
If you dont have a medical history , then you dont need medications. Only iron +
folic acid is to be taken.
And
tetanus vaccine.
Diet during pregnancy should be about - one extra meal. Pleany of fruits, vegetables, milk and milk products, eggs, nuts, will be sufficient.
Small frequent meals to keep your belly full , but not too full. As there will be some upper abdomainal discomfort and acidity due to growing uterus.
There may also be nausa , vominting in morning for 1st 3 month, for which sometimes anti-emetic MAY be needed. So you can talk to your obstetrician abt it.
Taking a dry toast or somthing light in the morn when you get up, helps in the
nausea.
In case of excess vominting, and other symptoms like leg- swelling, change in color/quantity of urine etc, you will have to talk to your doctor.

constipation, so have plenty of salad, fruits, yoghurt, and be active (unless you are adviced to take rest by your dr)
