Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Pregnancy is a tough time specially a first trimester where a person vomits and nauseates a lot due to hormones . A natural phenomenon to make sure of smooth and perfect organogenesis. Rest assured no food is prohibited. You can give any food a try and what you feel comfortable with, eat it. A balanced diet is preferable. In first few weeks, nuts, cereals, crackers, dry fruits and fluids will help to pass this hyper emesis gravidarum stage. It kicks in from 7th to 8th week and stays till 12 to 14th week. Please beware that when i mean all food you can take, i dont mean it include alcohol or all other beverages that contain alcohol. Avoid medications unless your doctor let you to take it. Food wont hurt.
Skin products, you can use all, just make sure avoid the groin from perfumes and soaps etc as those can lead to infections of genitals. Use hypoallergenic hygiene gels for washing genitals. Yes you can use water , tap water. Rest shampoo, conditioners etc every thing is used. Pregnancy is a natural phenomenon and marvel of nature and mother nature takes care of every thing on its own you just have to hang in there for 9 months and make sure you eat enough for both yourself and your baby. Take iron and folate supplements with it and calcium supplements as well.
Stay compliant with the asthma medications. good option of amoxicillin for UTi treatment. Proper hygiene is more wise.
Nutshell, no food is contraindicated in pregnancy but prefer natural foods . I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
