I'm still trying to conceive, but my elder sister told me that eating small portions of simple ghar ka khana like paneer, dahi, and fresh fruits in the first trimester is very good. I am taking notes of all this for myself too.
Look, don't overcomplicate things. Just completely avoid raw or semi-ripe papaya and pineapple because they can cause contractions. Other than that, wash all your fruits properly and eat in moderation. No need to stop eating normal apples and bananas.
Please don't take any risks with cycling. I had some spotting in my early weeks, so my doctor strictly put me on bed rest and banned anything apart from slow walking. Every pregnancy is different, so please take your doc's permission before you pedal.
Most women notice symptoms around 6 weeks, but honestly, don't waste time overanalyzing every minor cramp. Just take a home test a day or two after your missed period, it's the most practical way.
Oh, the anxiety of waiting to test is just the worst! If you can, try to hold off until tomorrow morning for a more reliable result so you don't stress over a faint line.
