Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. There is no special precaution as such, but you need to consult an OBGy specialist if you are on any chronic medication, mainly to know whether to continue the drugs or not. Secondly as the pregnancy advances you need to take adequate rest. No you dont need strict bed rest. Lastly the mode of delivery will be decided later.
Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!
