We announced it to my parents and in-laws by gathering everyone for a family dinner. I gave my mother a small box of sweets with a note saying 'Grandmother-to-be'. Seeing her teary eyes was the most beautiful moment of my life.

Oh, this brings back so many emotions, I remember doing this calculation with tears of joy. You just count from the first day of your last period. Hold on tight, this beautiful journey goes by so fast, you'll have your baby in your arms soon.

My gynac actually told me that spicy food is perfectly fine to eat, but our digestive system gets very sensitive now. The spices can cause indigestion and gas, which makes us very uncomfortable. So, eating mild spices is a safer choice.

Actually yaar, Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition, so pregnancy cannot reverse it. In fact, sugar levels can fluctuate a lot due to hormones. Better to closely monitor your HbA1c with your doc, don't take any chances!
