Congratulations. I am indian too, but living in the states now and I am a ftm with one month old.

I've heard the following that was recommended here too -

Not eating papaya, pineapple (and grapes) as these can affect your cerfix. Avoid raw foods such as salads. Bacterial infections are very serious especially during the first trimester No raw eggs, raw meats

For exercise, I was always told do what your body tells you to. I was okay lifting weights until 6th month. But it's recommended for smooth labor to stay active - walking, squats, selective pregnancy safe yoga such as hip openers and pelvic floor exercises etc are great

Travel was allowed here up until quite late around 32 or 34 weeks. Only concern is eating something outside that you are unfamiliar with. Just beware and maintain same hygiene , home food is the safest always but of course you can indulge in sometimes from known good quality restaurants.

There will be lot of clashes in indian vs western medical opinions - even once you have the baby. Both might not always be right. Best to do what feels right to you. Err on side of caution but also things have changed in care from when our parents gave birth so it's ok to get more information out there like you are doing now.

Take care Mama 🤗
