5 Things You Should not do during your first Trimester of your Pregnancy!

Being pregnant with your little coming soon is a joyous occasion.

However, now that you are now carrying a little coming soon, some of your daily habits might have to temporary change to prepare for your little coming soon in the time being.

From the obvious --

1. Extreme sports

2. X-rays

as the risk from x-ray radiation is related to the stage of pregnancy at which the exposure occurs and the dosage amount that reaches the baby. There is slight risk of birth defects and physical and mental development problems.

3. Hot tubs/ saunas

You’re likely to feel warmer during pregnancy. This is due to hormonal changes and an increase in blood supply to the skin. These hormonal changes can also often make pregnant women feel faint.

If you overheat, more blood flows close to your skin, to help cool your body by sweating. This means less blood flows to your internal organs such as your brain. If this happens, your brain may not get enough blood and, therefore, oxygen. This can make you feel faint.

When you use a sauna, jacuzzi, hot tub, steam bath or steam room, your body cannot lose heat effectively by sweating. Your body's core temperature therefore rises. It's possible that a significant rise in your core temperature may affect your unborn baby's development, particularly in the first 12 weeks of the pregnancy.

Take care when you get out of a hot bath or stand up quickly, as these can also make you feel faint.

4. Diet

There are some foods you should avoid when you're pregnant because they might make you ill or harm your baby, such as no eating of raw fishes -- say goodbye to sashimi and even cheeses and juices! And alcohol of course!

5. cleaning

Check the labels of cleaning products to make sure there are no safety warnings for pregnant women. If you use cleaning products, glues, paint or any other household chemicals, follow the safety directions on the label. Make sure the room is well ventilated when you are cleaning — open windows and doors.

We hope that this article provides you with additional knowledge of what not to do during your first trimester.
