Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is a very important phase of pregnancy and rather whole pregnancy from now onwards needs a lot of care and nutrition.
Take a note of the following points -
- have a good rest with no exertion at all
- take ample amount of water
- take good amount of milk and green leafy vegetables
- almonds and walnuts are very good and should be taken on daily basis
- take high protein diet of pulses, cottage cheese and non vegetarian food including eggs (in case you are a non-veg)
- avoid any kind of stress
- keep taking all the medicines as prescribed daily without a miss.
Take care.
Regards
Dr Manisha
