First Trimester (Weeks 1–12): Building a Strong Foundation
The first trimester is crucial as your baby’s organs begin to develop. Many women experience fatigue, nausea, and mood changes during this phase.
Healthy Pregnancy Tips for the First Trimester:
- Take folic acid supplements to support brain and spine development
- Eat small, frequent meals to reduce nausea
- Stay well hydrated throughout the day
- Get adequate rest and avoid heavy physical activity
- Avoid alcohol, smoking, and unprescribed medications
- Schedule your first antenatal visit for early pregnancy confirmation
👉 Early consultation with a gynecologist helps identify any risks and ensures proper prenatal planning.
Second Trimester (Weeks 13–26): Growth & Stability
The second trimester is often called the “golden phase” of pregnancy. Energy levels improve, nausea reduces, and the baby starts growing rapidly.
