Need advice on first time pregnancy

Hello, My wife is 9 weeks pregnant. This is our first one after 3 years of trying. We are excited about it. I need advice on the do’s and don’t on this first trimester. Right now she’s taking multivitamins(includes folic acid) after lunch and prenatal milk(Anmum Materna) after dinner. Is there anymore supplements that she needs to take? During sleep, is it okay to lie on your stomach? Is there any preferred position? As this is our first baby, we are quite lost on what to do. Need some advice on this first trimester. #Needadvice #firsttimemom #firsttimedad

First of all, congrats!! First trimester can be verrryyyy hard because body is adapting to the changes inside, and may be on survival mode if the pregnancy symptoms are alot and overwhelming. Try to avoid things that upsets her or are causing alotof worry or stress. Let her eat what she wants because to me personally, i’m trying to figure out what works to relief the nausea or that weird after taste 24/7. Sometimes that food works for that day and then it doesn’t the next time. So it depends, and you just haveta be extra patient. What makes me happy and more motivated is that my awesome husband understands and just follow through. It really helps. But of course food that totally haveta avoid, best to avoid. Otherwise all eat in moderation. Best of luck new parents!!!!
