hello,

Limit stair climbing

Resume your normal activity and exercise very gradually over 6 weeks

Get plenty of rest

Focus on care for self and baby

give special attention to diet like lotof water

take more proteins, fruits, and vegetables,milk

take small bowl of bran daily will prevent constipation.
binders can be used during working or ambulation.all things will come to prepregnancy stage by end of 6 week.

prickles may be due to some allergic reaction.baby should be handeled with clean hands which will prevent such conditions. you can consult the peditrician for it.take care
