I would say just double-check with your doctor once, especially if you have any risk of gestational diabetes. I had some complications in my second trimester, so my gynac put me on a very strict diet with no refined sugar at all. It's always safer to let your doctor decide based on your reports.

Bending in pregnancy is fine if you squat down, but please start practicing good posture now. Post C-section, you won't be able to bend at all for a few weeks, so getting used to squatting gently or asking for help is a lifesaver.

Yes, it's normal, but keeping yourself active can help manage it. Regular 30-minute prenatal walks really helped keep my energy up and lipid profile in check, but do discuss with your doctor before starting any exercise routine.

White discharge is quite common, but please monitor it carefully. If the discharge is green, yellow, foul-smelling, or if you feel itching or pelvic pain, contact your doctor immediately. I had a severe infection during my pregnancy, so I always recommend checking with your gynac.

I know how exhausting it is to take pills when you have bad morning sickness, but thyroid medicine is super important. Talk to your doctor if you throw up after taking it, they will guide you on how to manage.
