Answers to the most common questions about pregnancy, symptoms, and care

Avoid high-mercury fish (like swordfish), raw or undercooked meat and eggs, unpasteurized soft cheeses, unheated deli meats, and limit caffeine to less than 200mg per day. Also avoid alcohol completely.
Most first-time mothers feel the first movements between weeks 18-25. If you've been pregnant before, you might feel them earlier, around week 16. At first they feel like bubbles or butterflies, and become stronger over time.
Yes, moderate exercise is safe and beneficial for most pregnant women. Activities like walking, swimming, prenatal yoga, and low-impact exercises are excellent options. Always consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience vaginal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, regular contractions before 37 weeks, decreased fetal movements, high fever, intense headache, vision changes, or sudden swelling of face and hands.
Recommended weight gain depends on your pre-pregnancy BMI. Generally: underweight (12.5-18kg), normal weight (11.5-16kg), overweight (7-11.5kg), and obesity (5-9kg). Your doctor will give you personalized recommendations based on your situation.
