Frequently asked questions
Short answers to what parents ask most often.
What are the early signs of pregnancy, besides a missed period?
Usually it's increased breast sensitivity, nausea (especially in the morning), fatigue, and frequent urination. Some women also notice changes in taste preferences or heightened sense of smell.
Is it safe to exercise during pregnancy?
Yes, moderate physical activity is very beneficial as long as there are no contraindications from a doctor. Choose safe types of exercise, such as walking, swimming, or specialized prenatal yoga, and avoid injury‑risking movements.
How to deal with nausea in early pregnancy?
Try to eat frequently but in small portions, avoiding strong hunger. Ginger tea, sour lozenges, and a light snack (cracker, banana) can help even before you get out of bed.
Which foods should be excluded from a pregnant woman's diet?
It is advisable to avoid raw meat and fish (sushi), unpasteurized dairy products, and moldy cheeses. Also, consumption of fish with high mercury content should be limited and alcohol should be avoided.
