Your baby development 

In the first month of your pregnancy, your baby is in a foetus development process. The complete process includes egg fertilisation, implantation, growth of uterine lining, and the growth of foetus.

How to take care of yourself during the first month of pregnancy 

At first, you should visit a gyn-ob as you notice or think you are pregnant. The time could be in the middle of the first month of your pregnancy. At a clinic, maternity centre, or hospital, a gynaecologist will interact with you and question you on your medical history, family medical history, contraception method you used earlier, etc. 

After interaction, the doctor may conduct a physical examination and recommend an ultrasound scanning and a blood/urine test to confirm pregnancy. Going through the test reports will facilitate your doctor suggesting prenatal supplements and self care tips. Some useful tips are as follows:

  • Take the recommended pregnancy diet 
  • Perform light to moderate exercises 
  • Avoid lifting heavy items 
  • Sleep soundly 
  • Take enough rest 
  • Do light household work to keep yourself busy 
  • Stay away from stress and anxiety 
  • Say no to drinking and smoking
  • Hire a caretaker if you are not with your family members and your spouse has a regular job or is busy in operating his business

Conclusion 

Being pregnant is a good moment to celebrate and enjoy. The first month is the beginning of your pregnancy journey that will last for nine months or around 42 - 42 weeks. You should consult a respective doctor and follow the doctor’s instructions.
