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

Congrats and have a safe pregnancy! First trimester, try your best to pay more attention to her morning sickness etc. The changes can be tough, as soon as she wakes up give her something to munch on to avoid feeling sick and eat properly for all meals. Avoid greasy and too spicy food, but if she craves then carry on! Just not too often. First trimester she can still sleep as she wants cause baby is still small, 2nd onwards then start sleeping on side. Definitely avoid carrying heavy items or standing too long. She will tend to rest and sleep more, as she should. Happy mama = happy baby. Just be attentive to her needs and look out for any concerning symptoms. Any bleeding should go straight to doctor.
