Amoolya Sen

My sister-in-law also got confused by this name, but our doctor explained it is the NT scan. They do this between 11 to 13 weeks to make sure the baby is developing healthy and without any genetic issues. Don't stress, it is a very common test.

It can feel so overwhelming and confusing when you are looking up all these processes and diagrams online. Take a deep breath. Conception basically happens when the egg meets the sperm during your fertile window, don't stress over complex details.

In early pregnancy, the most important precaution is not to lift heavy things and get plenty of rest. Your body is doing so much work internally, so sleep whenever you can. Also, don't miss your folic acid tablets.

It is safe, but please be very careful if you are adding honey or sugar to it. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to monitor every single gram of sugar, so I drank warm lemon water plain or with just a pinch of black salt. It's great for digestion without spiking your blood sugar.

When you are eating for two babies, you have to be double practical! I focused heavily on paneer, eggs, and ragi to get enough protein without feeling stuffed like a balloon.
