I asked my doctor about this before starting my prenatal yoga sessions, and she said it's fine but cautioned about skin sensitivity. Always do a patch test on a small area first to avoid rashes.
Personally, I had horrible heartburn in my second trimester. I just had small meals and drank lots of coconut water, which helped me a lot.
Yes, absolutely! I ate so much fresh khaman and dhokla when I was pregnant, and my toddler absolutely loves it now. It is steamed and safe.
For me, the safe zone started at week 13 because my morning sickness finally ended and my food cravings kicked in! I could finally eat without vomiting. It's the best phase to enjoy delicious meals!
I am also in my second trimester now and before conceiving, I ate lots of leafy greens and took folic acid. Did your doctor already start your pre-pregnancy vitamins or are you trying completely naturally right now?
