Precautions During the First Trimester of Pregnancy
Disease description:
I'm 11 weeks pregnant, approaching the third month. Are there any particular precautions I should take during this period?

The first three months of pregnancy are a critical period for fetal development. The following points should be noted:
1. Balanced diet: Ensure adequate nutrition by consuming more high-protein foods and those rich in vitamins and trace elements. Avoid raw, cold, and spicy foods to prevent anemia. Iron-rich foods such as lean meat and fish may be consumed in moderation.
2. Regular作息 (作息 should be translated as "rest and sleep"): Ensure sufficient sleep, as good sleep is a fundamental factor for fetal growth and development, and helps prevent abnormal or delayed fetal development.
3. Avoid strenuous exercise: The fetus and uterus are not yet firmly attached, and strenuous activity may cause miscarriage. This is especially important for women with a history of miscarriage.
4. Rational use of medications: Avoid taking medications on your own to prevent adverse effects on the fetus. If medication is necessary, it should be taken under a doctor's guidance.
5. Folic acid supplementation: Supplement with folic acid under medical supervision to prevent fetal neural tube defects.
6. Moderate sexual activity: During early pregnancy, the fetus is unstable, and sexual activity should be avoided to prevent miscarriage.
