Do's and Don'ts

Today is my 11 weeks and 7 days..
Since my 1st visit to my ObGyn, i did some researchs in the internet and reads on alot of articles about what should or should not do, what to eat and not to eat.
Well, after a couple of days going through alot of forums for pregnant mother, i've decide that i just do and eat what ever my doc said, coz the more i read on those articles, the more i get nervous, and too much information will eventually blocked my appetite. Some said, it is recommended to eat a can of tuna, then i read somewhere else that tuna has mercury in it (??). Another article said, it is ok drink coffee in moderation, though some said it is a big NO to drink even a cup of tea because it has caffeine in it.

The good news from all the dont's was that it isn't true, that a pg woman can not drink cold water, or ice water, thank God! It got nothing to do with a baby being so big and a lot of water inside a mother tummy.

I also find out why it is hard for me to go to the Loo, every pregnant woman had this problam, as our hormones are changing, and all the little tiny bit inside our tummy is changing, then the routines of going to the Loo will also changing, this also might cause the stool to become blacker (yup! its tru). Another reason why it is so hard for me to go to the Loo for #2 is the iron vitamin that my doc had given me to take everyday. The solutions are to drink plenty of water (6-8 glasses) per day, eat fruits which high in fibre, eat foods which high in fibre (like cereals) or ask a doctor to prescribe you a stool softener or some laxative medicine.

Anyway, I will stop on reading the do's and don'ts and will continue doing what I do now, and maybe increasing my fruits intake and eating more vegies.

Next week is my 2nd doctor visit, my hubby will be joining me for this next visit :)
