Detailed Answer:

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and health concerns in detail ,
Do’s:

It is good to prepare a simple to-do list so that you will be aware of the precautions and measures to consider.
Always remember to relax and take ample rests, since it is very important for both you and baby.
Drink lots of fluids to stay hydrated.
Start taking folic and vitamin medications as prescribed by the gynecologist. It is very important for your baby’s growth.
Consume only healthy foods. Maintain a diet as approved by your doctor or nutritionist, as this will help you both during and post delivery to reduce extra weight.
Wash fruits and vegetables and peel them, if required, to avoid eating pesticides.
Eat small quantities throughout the day, so that it helps you digest food easily and aids in feeding your growing baby properly.
Your breasts would show symptoms of heaviness. So, you should begin using supportive bras, so as to prevent sagging later.
Walk at least 20 minutes every day and keep yourself busy.
Don’ts:

Now that we have known the do’s, it’s time to know the don’ts as well. Here they are:
Quit smoking and avoid alcohol consumption.
Do not keep your stomach empty as it enhances gas formation that would make you feel more nauseated.
Avoid oily and junk foods.
Do not take any pain killers or antibiotics without the knowledge of consulting your physician.
You can eat egg and fish .
