Hello All,
First of all would like to congratulate July 2008 moms!! Since our 1st trimester has started,it is important for all of us to be on a good diet to lay down good foundation of our baby. Would appreciate suggestions in this direction ,like foods to avoid, foods to be taken in extra amounts, some recipes of traditional foods for this period and so on....and tips on exercise? ishi replied. Hi All,
Had a question, is it safe to have Indian style tea [i.e. with milk and sugar]during 1st trimester. I have a habit of drinking tea in the morning for breakfast,else I have headache, however, i don' t drink the entire cup ,just few sips.
Thanks,
take care,
