FAQS
What are the early signs of pregnancy?
Early signs can include missed periods, nausea (morning sickness), fatigue, tender breasts, frequent urination, and mood changes. However, a pregnancy test is the best way to confirm.
How much weight should I gain during pregnancy?
It depends on your pre-pregnancy weight. On average:
Underweight: 28–40 lbs (12.5–18 kg)
Normal weight: 25–35 lbs (11.5–16 kg)
Overweight: 15–25 lbs (7–11.5 kg)
Always follow your doctor’s guidance.
Can I exercise during pregnancy?
Yes! Light to moderate exercise (like walking, swimming, or prenatal yoga) is generally safe and beneficial during pregnancy. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or continuing a fitness routine.
What foods should I avoid during pregnancy?
Avoid raw or undercooked meat, fish high in mercury (like shark or swordfish), unpasteurized dairy, raw eggs, and too much caffeine. These may harm the baby’s development or increase the risk of infection.
