Dont change kitty litter!
Theres certain tea's you shouldnt drink
dont go on a diet
try to stay active but dont over exert yourself. A pregnant lady should be able to hold a conversation while exercising, thats how youll know if youre working too hard

I read that someone recommended what to expect when you're expecting... I know some people who swear by it, but I personally didn't care for it. It honestly scared the shi† out of me. I read it in my first trimester and was convinced I was having an ectopic pregnancy because I had a sharp pain on my right side often... I asked my doctor about it and he explained that your bowels on your right side and since constipation is hell during the first trimester, that's all it was.
I'm not criticizing anyone for liking the book, but being the hypochondriac paranoid pregnant lady that I am, it scared me more than it helped me.

Prenatal vitamins are great, but in the first trimester the only vitamins I had were a variety of sample packs my doctor gave me. They all made me so sick during the first trimester because of the iron. I tried taking them after I ate, before I went to sleep, etc. But nothing helped. I finally called my nurse and she told me to blow them off for a while. Those were her exact words. I stopped taking them until I was about 3 months and now I love them. Not only are they good for the baby, but my nails have never looked better.
